22 Se ptember, 2016 @ 14:00 Mountain Standard Time (US)

Scholars of e nvironmental communication argue that “What we say is what we see” - commun ication shapes environmental perceptions, and perceptions shape environment al actions. This argument has broad implications at a time when our planet responds to a range of human actions, from the tremendously destructive and extractive to the potentially restorative and transformative. It has parti cular significance for those who study – and communicate about - the polar regions.

This talk will introduce an overview of the trans-disciplina ry field of environmental communication, and introduce several core concept s and frameworks. A/Prof Milstein will use the lens of ecotourism and illus trative examples from her own work, including research on whale and dolphin tourism in North America and New Zealand, to explore an ecocultural way of understanding our current situation.

Tema Milstein worked as a journ alist, editor, and current events talk show host before entering academia. She now examines the ways communication functions as a cultural force. Tema ’s award-winning ethnographic and qualitative research includes examination s of cultural environmental meaning systems, ecotourism and endangered wild life, climate crisis activism, culture jamming, and ecopedagogy. You can re ad her research at https:/ /unm.academia.edu/TemaMilstein/ and join the conversation in her Ecocul tural Communication Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/428111227269773/.
