[Commlist] COCE 2023 - Many Voices, One Planet

Wed Jun 15 14:40:47 GMT 2022





The International Environmental Communication Association (IECA) is pleased to announce the 17th biennial Conference on Communication and Environment (COCE 2023):

*Many Voices, One planet: Accounting for the past and narrating sustainable futures*
June 5-9, 2023, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Virginia, USA

The conference theme offers a platform for environmental communication research, practice, arts, and activism dealing with the range of voices that raise concerns about our planet. Addressing questions of diversity and inclusion, the theme emphasizes the need to reconcile the many injustices of the past and present in order to move forward and create narratives about just and sustainable futures.

Since 1991, COCE has been the leading global conference on environmental communication. Our conferences always have a theme, but we also welcome non-thematic submissions in all areas of environmental communication research and practice. Moreover, COCE is not a typical academic conference. The IECA exists to promote stronger collaboration between researchers, practitioners and artists working in environmental communication and COCE is one of our key forums for fostering such connections.

COCE has been hybrid since 2013 (except for 2021 which was all online). Most participants join us in-person, but remote participation is an option. COCE 2023 will include a number of attractive features that have been hallmarks of COCEs past, and will also be responsive to contemporary options for interaction (face-to-face and virtual). Specifically, COCE 2023 will include:

  * A maximum of four concurrent sessions at any given time.
  * A mix of academic and practitioner-oriented panels and workshops, as
    well as a graduate student pre-conference.
  * An art exhibition and possibly performances.
  * A poster session running throughout the conference.
  * Plenary sessions to bring everyone together for keynote speakers and
    panels.
  * Audio and/or video recordings of all sessions available to in-person
    and virtual participants.
  * Online spaces that facilitate interaction between in-person and
    virtual participants.
  * Plenty of time for informal interactions, eating together, playing
    together, socializing and networking.
  * Organized excursions that take advantage of the wonderful variety of
    historical locations in the Harrisonburg area.
  * Affordable lodging options including on-campus residence rooms and a
    new on-campus hotel.

COCE is larger than when it started, but it has remained a casual and friendly event where you will meet new colleagues and re-connect with those you already know. Many people count COCE as their favourite conference.

Please visit the COCE 2023 website <https://theieca.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=12617&qid=282746> for details. The *Call for Submissions* is now available with a deadline of *October 3, 2023*.
