[Commlist] Communicating Sustainability Conference 2022/COP26 Podcast

Call for Papers: Conference on Communicating Sustainability. Glasgow
University, 6th and 7th September 2022.



Proposals for colloquia and roundtables are invited for a multisectoral
conference on Communicating Sustainability at Glasgow University on 6th and
7th September 2022.

We do not propose any single definition of sustainability in advance of the
conference. Instead, Communicating Sustainability will bring together
community groups, academics, businesses, media, educationalists and 
activists
to discuss how social and environmental aspects of sustainability are
understood and represented within specific sectors and to work together to
find ways in which the different understandings, capacities and needs of 
each
group are discussed and negotiated.

There are no restrictions on what colloquia and roundtables will be
considered and we encourage presenters from both inside and outside 
academia.


On Day One of the conference, we will host colloquia and roundtables where
representatives from different sectors will come together to discuss how key
social and environmental issues are represented and discussed within their
own sector.

At the end of Day One, participants from each session should produce a short
summary of: (i) how sustainability is interpreted and represented in their
sector; (ii) which are the principal voices in the discussion and which 
carry
most weight; and (iii) who they most need to communicate with outwith their
sector and what are the main obstacles are in communicating their
understandings and needs to others.



On Day Two, drawing on these summaries, we will hold thematic panels where
representatives from different sectors are brought together to discuss
cross-cutting issues and to develop strategies for communication and
negotiation between sectors.



The event in Glasgow will be held in parallel with events in Brazil and the
United States and there will be opportunities to take part in activities
across the three sites.

To submit a proposal for a colloquium, please provide a title and a 150-300
word general abstract along with a minimum of three abstracts for individual
presentations or, in the case of roundtable events, the details of at least
three speakers (300-500 words in each case).



Deadline for submissions: Monday 28th February 2022
Your proposals, and any enquiries, should be sent to the following address:
