Climate and Sustainability Communication
Climate and Sustainability Communication: Global Perspectives builds upon traditional approaches to understanding the role of mass media in shaping social issues by amplifying diverse perspectives of opinion leaders, as well as voices of those affected by climate and sustainability issues.
From South Korea and China, to the United States and Zambia, the studies reported in this bookcompiled using a variety of formal research methods, including content analysis, interview, and surveyemphasize cultural orientation and global implications of climate and sustainability concerns and issues. The contributors explore the cultures, geographies, and media systems underpinning climate and sustainability campaigns emerging around the world, how we theorize about them, and the ways media are used to communicate about them.
The way in which complex problems and opportunities associated with globalization and power inequities interplay with climate and sustainability communication requires creative, interdisciplinary approaches. This book opens new conversations for integrating scholarly arenas of mass media communication, science and environmental communication, political communication, and health communication, as well as their respective theory and research method sets. This book originally was published as a special issue of Mass Communication and Society.
Donnalyn Pompper is a Professor in the School of Media and Communication, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, USA. Her teaching and research concerns power, the provision of routes for enabling people around the world to enjoy equality and respect at work, and critique of the ways in which social identity groups are represented across mass media platforms.
