*Sustainable Communication* (SusCom) 7.5 ECTS. Web-based/Distant 
learning Postgraduate course for PhD candidates, Jönköping University, 
Sweden.

Sustainable Communication (SusCom) (7.5 ECTS) is a doctoral course 
designed for PhD candidates who want to deepen their understanding of 
the significance of media and communication for the realisation of 
global sustainability goals.

In a time where anthropogenic climate change poses a threat to our way 
of life, and where inequality, wars and armed conflicts remain global 
problems, there is an urgent need for global sustainability. This 
includes the goals of Agenda 2030, for example the elimination of 
poverty, the provision of clean water and climate change mitigation.

SusCom is a web-based distance learning course that focuses on the 
relationship between media and communication and the environmental, 
social and economic dimensions of sustainability. The course has been 
developed by Sustainable Communication, an international research 
environment at Jönköping University. The research environment has 
published extensively in the areas of environmental communication, 
global journalism, transmedia storytelling and communication for social 
change.

The course runs from early November to late January. Drawing upon the 
latest theory developments and international empirical research, 
including theoretical and empirical research conducted at Jönköping 
University, the course covers the following themes:

• Introduction: What is sustainable development? • What is the role of 
media communication? Introduction to sustainable communication

• Sustainable communication and journalism (What are sustainable 
journalism & global journalism?)

• Sustainable communication and organisations (The challenges of 
cross-sector collaboration and communication for the realisation of 
sustainability goals)

• Sustainable communication as communication for social change

• Sustainable development and critique of ideology: the problematic 
aspects of the sustainability concept in media society (a critical 
theoretical approach to sustainable communication)

The course includes webinars and pre-recorded lectures as well as 
written and oral examinations. A syllabus will be accessible by the end 
of May. Click here to apply:
