[Commlist] Job: PhD position in climate change communication

Mon Apr 11 21:41:10 GMT 2022



*The Climate Change Communication and Narratives Network (CCCNN) [1] at
Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia, is inviting a proposal from a PhD
candidate to examine the critical factors shaping climate change
communication in this crucial decade for action*.

The science on climate change is settled, and it is
now social and cultural factors that will determine how – and indeed
whether – we deal with climate change with the action that is needed in
this decade. The way we communicate on climate change in the broadest sense
is now critical to addressing the climate crisis. A project proposal is
invited that maps and analyses the assumptions, intentions, modes, strategies
and tools of climate change communication in public contexts to enhance the
actions and the structural and imaginative changes required to mitigate
climate change. The project will also examine public opinion and concern in
relation to climate change, and identify better communicative avenues and
strategies for tipping public concern into public action. A successful
proposal will align closely with the aims of CCCNN, which has an
action-orientated imperative. Any proposal will therefore need to include a
consideration of how the project might engender real-world change in seeking
to understand how better to communicate climate change.

*Project to be supervised by: *Dr Gabi Mocatta and Dr Erin Hawley.* *

*Enquiries to : (gabi.mocatta /at/ deakin.edu.au) [2]*
