Call for Papers
We do not propose any single definition of sustainability in advance of the conference. Instead, Communicating Sustainability will bring together community groups, academics, businesses, media, educationalists, and activists to discuss how social and environmental aspects of sustainability are understood and represented within specific sectors and to work together to find ways in which the different understandings, capacities, and needs of each group are discussed and negotiated.
There are no restrictions on what themes will be considered – sustainability in the arts, the natural sciences, the community, textbooks, children’s television, politics, poetry, the press, or social media, are all possible examples – and we encourage presenters from both inside and outside academia.
To submit a proposal for colloquia, roundtables, papers, and workshops, please provide a title and a 150-300 word general abstract along with a minimum of three abstracts for individual presentations or, in the case of roundtable events, the details of at least three speakers (300-500 words in each case).
Deadline for submissions: Monday 28th February 2022
