Workshop: an Atlas to Environmental Communication - Maps, worldviews and thinking space

Maps are powerful representations of ‘reality’ and can limit what we think or get to think about, especially from afar. Maps often act as 'expert language’ and technological knowledge that make truth-claims about how to view environmental issues such as climate change. There needs to be awareness about how the maps we surround us with, create and/or use in research affect the thinking about the issues we want to convey, and indeed also people’s worldviews. In this workshop we critically engage with the maps used and produced within the Mistra Environmental Communication project. We will hands-on discuss in groups how the maps both construct issues in certain ways and engages with either opening up or closing in thinking-spaces. Who would find this interesting: Everyone interested in reflecting about maps and mapping – geographical and otherwise – and their relationship with environmental communication.
