Course Summary

In this course you will explore the concept of 'the environment', and the ways that environmental issues are communicated across platforms including - but not limited to - television, cinema, music, social media, journalism, and activism.
You will observe how the environment has been conceived and communicated across the last 50 years, how it has been celebrated, shunned, politicised, and exploited. Accepting climate change as fact, this course focuses on the language, poetry, sights, data, and sounds of the environment.
In addition to analysing existing climate and environmental communication methods, you'll also explore your own activities and modes of outreach, developing your own ways to make change and inspire others to do the same.
