CFP - SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENT COMMUNICATION SECTION , ECREA CONFERENCE 2011

SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENT COMMUNICATION SECTION - CALL FOR PAPERS ECREA's 3rd EUROPEAN COMMUNICATION CONFERENCE Conference Theme: 'Transcultural Communication -- Intercultural Comparisons'. Hamburg, Germany, 12-15 October 2010 www.ecrea2010hamburg.eu ECREA's Science and Environment Communication Section welcomes the submission of proposals for papers, posters and panels for ECREA's 3rd European Communication Conference to take place in Hamburg, Germany from 12 to 15 October 2010. The 21st century faces unprecedented challenges in the environment and science fields. The Science and Environment Communication section seeks to foster a strong network of research in the wide area of science and environment communication. Science is understood here in broad terms as research that has its roots in the social sciences, humanities or natural sciences, including technology. Environment is also understood broadly as both the natural and the built milieu. Example of topic areas that can be addressed include - but are far from restricted to - the following: * Media representations of science and the environment * Political and commercial discourse on the environment * Communication, democracy and scientific/environmental governance * Public engagement with science and the environment * The dialogic, interactive communication of research-based knowledge * The discourse and politics of environmental activism The section welcomes work that crosses a range of disciplinary (communication/media/cultural studies, science and technology studies, sociology, social psychology) and methodological (quantitative/qualitative/empirical/theoretical) boundaries. For activities of the section, please visit http://www.scienv-com.eu/ Anabela Carvalho (Chair) Julie Doyle (Vice-Chair) Louise Phillips (Vice-chair) PROPOSAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 28 February 2010 Guidelines for submission ECREA is pleased to accept proposals for individual papers, panels as well as poster presentations.
