Broadening Understanding of Environmental Communication through Transdisciplinary Narratives on Climate Change - A Creative & Critical Exploration

This body of research contributes to the field of environmental communication, by expanding upon the more traditional notion of one-way 'messaging'. Rather, by integrating theory and practice, environmental communication is posited as developing a community’s own ecological storytelling capacity, and enhancing local capacity to identify and address environmental problems. The work draws from concepts in many fields including media communication, and the environmental humanities, but is grounded in creative practice as research.This item contains the research outputs and supportive evidence documentation for a Type T output, created for submission to REF2021.
