Introduktionskurs till miljökommunikation - Att förstå och hantera miljöutmaningar ur ett kommunikationsperspektiv

Environmental communication is an integral part of environmental management and sustainability transformations. Processes and outcomes of communication play a central role in understanding and addressing environmental challenges such as climate change, unsustainable lifestyles and exploitation of natural resources, and in shaping human-nature relationships. Through lectures, workshops, literature studies and group work, this course offers an introduction to social scientific perspectives for understanding environmental communication as it occurs in everyday life, including casual conversations, environmental campaigns and policies, as well as in multi-stakeholder decision-making. The course brings forward the importance of understanding environmental communication as both instrumental and constitutive. This broadens the traditional understanding of communication as the transmission of expert knowledge and information, and emphasizes the role that communication plays in creating and transforming the knowledge, values, norms and practices that shape today’s sustainability and environmental issues. The course includes practical components designed to deepen students´ understanding of theoretical perspectives and to develop practical skills, usually through interactive workshops and group work. These components involve producing environmental communication artefacts and facilitating dialogue processes between different perspectives.

The course has several mandatory activities that require in person attendance (see Information from course leader and Schedule)
