This symposium is organised by the Science and Environment Communication Section (ECREA) in association with the Media Research Group, Faculty of Arts, University of Brighton. Come and explore the visual dimensions of science and environmental communication by addressing questions of knowledge, understanding, practice and power, through the visual. We invite formal papers and creative contributions (such as artwork and short performances) from academics and practitioners that examine the role of the visual in the construction and communication of science and the environment. We welcome work from a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives, from the natural sciences to the social sciences and creative arts. Of particular interest is work that involves collaboration and dialogue across different areas, such as art and science, or academia and civil society groups.
