Funded Activity Summary

Changing Landscapes: Online Media and Politics in an Age of Environmental Conflict. The capacity of Media Studies research to reveal the social and political conditions in which responses to environmental threats occur has been undervalued. Addressing the National Research Priority of 'An Environmentally Sustainable Australia', this project will provide incisive evidence-based analysis of mediated environmental politics, including insight into the media and political processes informing the definition, contestation and negotiation of environmental threat and conflict. This research also contributes to the conceptual development of Media Studies internationally, providing important Australian scholarship on one of the globe's greatest challenges and acute sources of conflict - the politics of environmental sustainability.
