Environmental Communication Meets Arts-Based Research on the Road (Two conference presentations + one workshop)

Dr. Takach was awarded a Research and Professional Development grant to present on sharing arts-based research and sharing visual environmental communication research.

This activity involves travel to two leading-edge, international conferences to share research from my just-released books, Scripting the Environment and Tar Wars, in two paper presentations—one a standalone and one on a panel that I organized of five scholars from three nations—and one workshop (all accepted; see Appendices 1–3). This aims to break new ground in:
a)advocating for and sharing arts-based research in the traditionally scientistic field of environmental studies; and
b)conducting and sharing visual environmental communication research through critical visual, discourse and framing analyses, and arts-based research, linking energy, environment and place-identity in resource-based jurisdictions.
