[Commlist] Eco-Communications: Call for Submissions (Stellenbosch University x eco_media)

TheSA Research Chair in Science Communication (Stellenbosch University), 
in dialogue witheco_media (Australia) will be hosting the*/Eco 
Communications: Interdisciplinary Southern/African Encounters 
Symposium/*at Stellenbosch University on 11 November 2022.

The field of ecomedia is receiving growing attention in global north 
scholarship, yet there are many researchers working in and on African 
contexts and cases who are fruitfully mining the modalities of media and 
communications practice and research in their ecological, conservation 
and natural sciences research.

As such, we invite scientists, ecologists, media and communication 
researchers and practitioners, artists, creatives, and collaborators who 
work on or are interested in the interdisciplinary connections between 
the fields of ecology and communications, to present at the symposium.

This symposium aims to bring together researchers and practitioners who 
are actively working at the interface between ecology and communications 
research and practice, to present theoretical, empirical, artistic, and 
practical aspects that arise between these disciplinary orientations. We 
seek to understand how specific contexts in South African, African and 
Global South settings may influence these tensions and intersections.

All presentation submissions will be peer-reviewed by the symposium 
committee composed of experts from various disciplines and invitations 
for selected submissions will be made. To apply, prospective speakers 
must please submit the following:

  * a presentation title,
  * a 300-word abstract of the work that will be presented and
  * a 100-word bio
The deadline for submissions is 3 October 2022 at 23:59 and the required 
items can be emailed to*(corliameyer /at/ sun.ac.za) 
<mailto:(corliameyer /at/ sun.ac.za)>.*The email subject should include the 
title “Eco Comms + SUBMISSION”. There are *no *conference fees for this 
symposium.The selected presenters will be invited to contribute to a 
special issue publication that will be edited by the Research Chair in 
Science Communication and scheduled for release in 2023.
