[ecrea] Call for Book Chapters for Climate Change, Media & Culture: Critical Issues in Environmental Communication

Mon Dec 04 21:19:51 GMT 2017




December 2017 *CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS* for

*Climate Change, Media & Culture: Critical Issues in Environmental Communication*

Edited by Juliet Pinto, Robert E. Gutsche, Jr., and Paola Prado

to be published by Emerald Publishers

*Abstracts deadline: 28 Feb 2018*

*Full manuscripts deadline: 1 July 2018*

The acceleration of massive global climate change provides a nexus for the examination of power,

political rhetoric, science communication, and sustainable development. This edited volume seeks

to understand how government policies, environmental news reports, corporate messages, and

social influences communicate the complexities of climate change to the public. In particular, this

work examines the roles that journalism, entertainment, and strategic messaging play in mediating

meanings of science, health, economy, and sustainable solutions.

The volume will assemble interdisciplinary research that offers a comparative view of 21st Century

communication regarding climate change. This work fills the gap in the literature with a critical

examination of the interfaces of mediated expressions communicated to the public through news

reports, strategic messages from corporate and civil society actors, and official sources. Climate

change communication is inherently interdisciplinary, global in scope but local in impacts;

therefore, understanding how media industries, journalists, advertisers, public relations

professionals, academics, governments, and scientists communicate climate change is of critical

importance.

Potential topics within this volume include:

• Communicating resilience through environmental journalism

• Engaging corporations in climate-change initiatives and advertising

• Analysis of climate deniers, from politicians and public conversation

• Challenges of communicating environmental justice

• Linguistics and storytelling of climate change explanations in the news

• The role of visual communication in capturing and addressing climate change

• Compressing the digital divide through innovative engagement about environments

• Altering social norms of environmental journalism in the era of Trump

• Communicating health impacts of climate change

• Racialization of climate change communication

• Effects of climate change on communicating issues of migration and mobility

• Content, strategies, audiences and messaging of environmental information across social

media platforms.

• Assessment of the current scholarly and practical approaches to communicating climate

change

Please submit an abstract (250 words or less) and 2-3 suggested reviewers no later than *28 Feb*

*2018*to Dr. Juliet Pinto ((jpinto /at/ fiu.edu)). Providing the abstract meets the criteria for the call, full

manuscripts are due *1 July 2018*. International perspectives are encouraged, as are both theoretical

and empirical works from qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Final chapters should be no

more than 8,000 words in length, including references, and should conform to APA guidelines.
