>The 21st century faces unprecedented challenges in the environment and
>science fields. The Science and Environment Communication section seeks
to
>foster a strong network of research in the wide area of science and
>environment communication. Science is understood here in broad terms as
>research that has its roots in the social sciences, humanities or
natural
>sciences, including technology. Environment is also understood broadly
as
>both the natural and the built milieu. Example of topic areas that can
be
>addressed include - but are far from restricted to - the following:
>
>* Media representations of science and the environment
>* Political and commercial discourse on the environment
>* Communication, democracy and scientific/environmental
governance
>* Public engagement with science and the environment
>* The dialogic, interactive communication of research-based
knowledge
>* The discourse and politics of environmental activism
>
>The section welcomes work that crosses a range of disciplinary
>(communication/media/cultural studies, science and technology studies,
>sociology, social psychology) and methodological
>(quantitative/qualitative/empirical/theoretical)
>boundaries. For activities of
>the section, please visit http://www.scienv-com.eu/
