  • Political Economy, Media, and Climate Change: Sinews of Modern Life Maxwell T
    Advanced Review Political economy, media, and climate change: sinews of modern life Maxwell T. Boykoff1∗ and Tom Yulsman2 In this 21st century, examining how climate change is described and considered, largely through mass media, is as important as formal climate governance to the long-term success or failure of efforts to confront the challenge. Mass media stitch together formal science and policy with the public sphere. And many dynamic, contested factors contribute to how media outlets portray climate change. This paper addresses contemporary political economics—from greater workloads and reductions in specialist science journalism to digital innovations and new media organizational forms—as they relate to media coverage of climate change. By way of recent studies and indications of these dynamics, we appraise how power flows through culture, politics, and society, to construct coverage, public discourses, and knowledge on climate change. In so doing, we explore how media representations of climate change have changed over time, and particularly how the rise of digital media has reshaped climate coverage. Considerations of climate change, arguably the most heavily politicized scientific issue at the turn of the new millennium, seek to inform and anticipate corollary science issues, such as ongoing concerns for genetically modified organisms, nanotechnology risks, and increased threats to water quantity and quality. The focus on political economy—the ‘sinews’ of modern life—can also then help to inform perceptions and decision making in associated environmental challenges. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    MCC-UE 9027.SY1 Media and the Environment Spring 2019 Instructor Information ● Dr. Jahnnabi Das ● Consultation by appointment ● [email protected] (Please allow at least 24 hours for your instructor to respond to your emails) Course Information • Pre-Requisite: None • Mondays: 9:00am – 12:00pm • Room 202, NYU Sydney Academic Centre. Science House: 157-161 Gloucester Street, The Rocks NSW 2000 This course will investigate the dominant critical perspectives that have contributed to the development of Environmental Communication as a field of study. This course explores the premise that the way we communicate powerfully impacts our perceptions of the "natural” world, and that these perceptions shape the way we define our relationships to and within nature, as well as how we define and solve environmental problems. The goal of this course is to access various conceptual frameworks for addressing questions about the relationship between the environment, culture and communication. Students will explore topics such as consumerism, representations of the environment in popular culture and environmental activism. This is a praxis-based course, meaning that a major, hands-on communication project will be based on critical theory. The course will address the following questions: How are environmental problems discussed and mediated within the public realm? How do these rhetorical and visual discourses structure our relationship to environmental crises? How can students create a communication strategy that frames environmental problems in a specific way in order to align the problem with appropriate solutions?

  • Teaching Millennials to Engage the Environment Instead of THEIR Environment: a Pedagogical Analysis
    APPLIED ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION & COMMUNICATION ,VOL.,NO.,– http://dx.doi.org/./X.. Teaching Millennials to engage THE environment instead of THEIR environment: A pedagogical analysis J. Richard Stevensa and Deserai Anderson Crowb,c aDepartment of Media Studies, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, Colorado, USA; bCenter for Environmental Journalism, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, Colorado, USA; cCenter for Science & Technology Policy Research, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, Colorado, USA ABSTRACT This article examines the difficulty in teaching contemporary stu- dents of journalism (those in the much-discussed Millennial Gen- eration) to report on complex topics like science and the envi- ronment. After examining contemporary literature, the authors subjected 120 undergraduate students to a strategy that com- bined visual representations of abstract concepts, media texts, and experiential peer interactions. The results indicate positive outcomes on comprehension and demonstrations of critical anal- ysis from this pedagogical approach. Teaching environmental reporting continues to be a daunting undertaking. Com- pared to other coverage areas of news media, the issues, sources, politics, and even ideological understandings present more challenges to reduce down into journalis- tic news frames. In fact, just understanding the issues involved can be daunting, as one journalist noted: When it comes to systematically covering “the environmental story,” anyone who moves beyond the most simplistic approach sees immediately the extraordinary complexity involved even in mapping the territory, let alone understanding trends, issues, conflicting evidence, the role of information sources, and other aspects of the story.

  • Central South Native Plant Conference Central South Native
    Central South Native Plant Conference Speaker Mini Biographies Jim Allison retired in July 2004 after more than 15 years of service as a botanist with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. His years of field work in Georgia and the Southeast have produced many significant finds and several “conservation hotspots” he discovered have since received formal protection, most notably the Coosa Prairies and the Bibb County (Alabama) Glades. From the latter, he described and named nine(!) Alabama plants new to science (he has named Georgia plants since, and is working up still more). Increasingly alarmed by the number of uncontrolled invasions of exotic plants as he travelled throughout the South, Jim helped found the Georgia Exotic Pest Plant Council and served as its second president. In December 2006, he accepted a part time ranger-naturalist position at DeKalb County’s Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve. Wayne Barger graduated from Jacksonville State University in 1994 and 1996 with B.S./M.S. degrees in Biology and from Auburn University in 2000 with a Ph.D. in Botany. He performed one year of post-doctoral work with the USDA in Stoneville, MS. He taught at the university level for four years and has published numerous peer-reviewed publications. Currently, he is employed as the State Botanist with the Natural Heritage Section/ALDCNR, a position that he has held for three years. Sara Bright has spent the last 30 years photographing the natural treasures of Alabama and the Southeast. After receiving a business degree from Birmingham Southern College, she started a commercial photography business.

  • Environmental Sociology
    Environmental Sociology This new edition of John Hannigan’s widely-known and respected text has been thoroughly revised to reflect major recent conceptual and empirical advances in environmental soci- ology. Key updates and additions include: • an extended discussion of how classic sociological theory relates to contemporary envi- ronmental sociology; • a focus on cultural sociologies of the environment, notably discourse analysis and social framing; • updated coverage of the environmental justice movement and global biodiversity loss; • a critical overview of contemporary interdisciplinary perspectives, namely co- constructionist theories of ‘socionature’. The new edition includes two new ‘hot topic’ chapters: • ‘Discourse, power relations and political ecology’ deals specifically with discursive conflicts between North and South, and includes a profile of contemporary struggles over water privatisation in Africa and Latin America; • ‘Towards an “emergence” model of environment and society’ introduces a new way of conceptualising the environmental field that brings together insights from complexity theory, the sociology of disasters, collective behaviour and social movements, perspec- tives on ‘social learning and the sociology of environmental ‘flows’. Written in a lively and accessible manner, Environmental Sociology makes a strong case for placing the study of emergent uncertainties, structures and flows central to a ‘realist/ constructionist model’ of environmental knowledge, politics and policy-making. The book offers a distinctive and even-handed treatment of environmental issues and debates, inte- grating European theoretical contributions such as risk society and ecological modernisation with North American empirical insights and findings. The book will interest environmental professionals and activists, and will be an invaluable resource to undergraduate and postgraduate students in geography, sociology, political science and environmental studies.
