Sediments and Seashores - A Case Study of Local Citizen Science Contributing to Student Learning and Environmental Citizenship
Citizen science aims to bridge the gap between science and society by engaging people in understanding the process of science. This is needed to foster informed democratic involvement of critical, environmentally informed citizens. Can these aspirations be facilitated by school-based citizen science that offers opportunity to engage scientifically with environmental issues at a scale with local relevance? This is tested through application of Mar…
Creating empathy for the more-than-human under 2 degrees heating
The waters were wide
The first known Greek/Phonecian philosopher of science, Thales of Miletus, viewed water as both the centre of life and the unifier of nature. We would all still agree – water is essential to life as we know it. Over the millennia, whole civilizations have risen and fallen depending on fresh water security; our species has adapted, thrived, or been decimated, depending on the availability of water. For this reason, water has always been the subjec…
Place-based film for growing community engagement in local marine conservation
Awareness, knowledge and community identity can grow from local narratives about conservation and enhance our capacity for environmental stewardship. New media narrative approaches are also seeking to improve the terms of community engagement across a spectrum of stakeholders. For instance, film is increasingly being used by scientists and policymakers to situate science stories within a community in order to increase local ownership and enhance …
Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Co-creation
With its conceptual origins in marketing, design, and education, co-creation also has analogues in the fields of science and museology. Reviewing its development in these different disciplines highlights some common challenges (e.g., power relations) and benefits (e.g., joint knowledge production, critical thinking, and shared investment). Aligning this overview with conceptual models such as Arnstein’s ladder of citizen participation and Bakhtin…
Mediating the Science
Climate change presents scientists, politicians, and media producers with a challenge of articulating to diverse stakeholders both the complexity of issues and the urgency of action. Analyses of how climate change is represented and constructed in broadcast media are useful to capture a reflection of contemporary values. We use an analysis of news frames and production values as well as a limited “circuit of culture” approach to explore climate c…
Exploring synergies
Documentary as a statement
Current definitions of documentary struggle to parallel the ability of the viewer to easily demarcate documentary from fiction. This is because these definitions generally attempt to distinguish documentary from fictional films based on the premise that documentaries are factual representations of reality. Here we argue that the two genres can be more clearly defined by focusing on the intent of the communication by the producer, rather than the …
