*Calling for expressions of interest in an HDR scholarship at Deakin

*/Stories of Hope and Action: Climate change futures explored through 
narrative practices in an Australian museum/*

*The Climate Change Communication and Narratives Network*in the Faculty 
of Arts and Education at Deakin University is seeking EOIs for a fully 
funded PhD scholarship that willexplore the role of narrative practices 
in a museum context to inspire action on climate change.

**

*Project details*

This project will work to create a real-time analysis of the Sydney 
Powerhouse Museum’s forthcoming ‘100 Conversations’ installation, that 
aims to grow a substantial video archive of climate change thought 
leaders communicating their ideas for action, hope, and solutions to 
climate change. Undertaking deep content analysis and applying critical 
frameworks for understanding climate change communication to the 
interviews and exhibition curation, the project will examine the 
capacities of these climate change narratives to promote and inspire the 
action that is so critically needed on climate change. It will also 
investigate the contemporary role of museums in enhancing climate 
literacy and climate action. The project will advance our understanding 
of the role of storytelling and narrative in documenting and galvanising 
inclusive responses to the climate emergency and creating change at both 
individual and system levels.

*The Climate Change Communication and Narratives Network*is an 
interdisciplinary network of humanities, social science and creative 
arts scholars, critically focused on the politics and practices of 
climate change narration and communication in a time of climate 
emergency.**See more here:https://www.cccnn.org.au/
