[Commlist] Critical Studies in Television Conference Recordings published

Tue Jul 09 09:48:16 GMT 2024





if you missed this year's Critical Studies in Television Conference, which was all about the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, you can now catch up as we recorded all sessions. This also includes the provocative and wonderful keynote by Anne Marit Waade from Aarhus University, Denmark, on 'What has television to do with climate? Green screens and green shooting'.

All sessions can be accessed by following the links on the following website: Critical Studies in Television Conference Programme - Television Studies Research Group % (edgehill.ac.uk) <https://sites.edgehill.ac.uk/tvresearchgroup/programme-of-the-cst-conference-2023/>

More information about the conference theme:

In 2015, the UN proposed 17 Sustainable Development Goals <https://sdgs.un.org/goals#history> that are meant to guide humankind towards a more equitable future on a liveable planet. They address questions of health, society, culture and the distribution of resources while also being aware of the urgency to address climate change. As a key communicator of human aspiration, as a tool to educate and inform, but also as an industry fraught with inequality and often accused to pandering to ‘valuable’ taste communities i.e. those of economic and other advantage, television emerges as a key site where our ability to respond to those aspirations can be assessed. How does television respond to the climate crisis? How does it aim to reduce poverty and inequalities by, for example, addressing local working conditions, offering traineeships to disadvantaged groups or address issues of outsourcing ethically? What steps does the industry take to reduce its carbon (and other polluting) footprint? How does it promote peace?
