[Commlist] CFP New themed issue: "Media and health in everyday life" (MedieKultur)

Cfp SMiD 2024 “Media (and) sustainability: Crises, paradoxes and potentials”

May 2nd (full day) & 3rd (half day), 2024 // Location: AAU, Copenhagen, 
Denmark

Considering the recent climate developments and resulting socio-economic 
disparities, questions that address media and communication from a 
broader sustainability perspective have become increasingly urgent. Yet, 
they reside far too often at the periphery of media and communication 
research and practice. SMiD 2024 seeks to raise awareness and address 
these issues, fostering a critical discussion on the role of media and 
communication in relation to the notion of sustainability. We understand 
sustainability as defined by the United Nations Brundtland Commission in 
1987, as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the 
ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. We address the 
topic in its broadest possible sense, ranging from environmental, 
economic, and political Issues to social well-being. Contributions are 
invited through both the open call and the themed call. More 
information: https://www.foreningen-smid.dk/

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1. News media: e.g., climate reporting and climate framing, sustainable 
news production, resilience journalism, news media, and political power.

2. The ”good” life and datafied living: e.g., balancing personal 
lifestyle choices and their environmental consequences, navigating 
environmental data and environmental practices.

3. Everyday practices and sustainability: e.g., upcycling practices, 
civil movements, and reimagining everyday practices for a sustainable 
future.

4. Organizational practices: e.g., authenticity vs. greenwashing, 
communication, AI, and digital sustainability.

5. Sustainable communication: e.g., new ways of explaining the impacts 
media habits induce on the climate and environment, communicating these 
challenges,

6. Politics and governance: e.g., communication practices of political 
parties, issues in climate governance, political and institutional 
decision-making.

The special issue resulting from the themed call will be guest edited by 
Mikkel Fugl Eskjær, Aalborg University, Denmark, Sandra Simonsen, Aarhus 
University, Denmark, Henrik Bødker, Aarhus University, Denmark og 
Martina Skrubbeltrang Mahnke, Roskilde University, Denmark.
