Urgent crises such as climate change, biodiversity loss and global pandemics demand new ways of communicating knowledge.
This book reimagines science communication, not just as a way to communicate about sustainability, but as a sustainable practice. Challenging traditional communication models rooted in neutrality and control, it explores a transformative approach that is participatory, performative, and ethically engaged. Through arts-based methods, the chapters cultivate a mindset focused on deep relationality and radical imagination.
Blending critique and imagination, this is an invitation to scientists, communicators, and artists seeking to collaborate across disciplines to reshape science communication and transform our collective futures.
‘This book shows why integrating science and art, humans and non-humans in science communication is essential for challenging Western science’s assumptions of universality and neutrality and for legitimizing diverse ways of being in the world.’ Martha Marandino, Universidade de São Paulo
‘This is an innovative and welcome contribution to science communication studies and practices,’ Massimiano Bucchi, Università di Trento
‘This book unfolds a speculative terrain where art practice and science entangle, inviting readers to navigate these knowledge systems and to reconsider how sustainability is collectively constructed.’ Hannah Star Rogers, author of Art, Science, and the Politics of Knowledge
‘Science Communication as Sustainability asks us to reconsider how spaces and places, time and actors shape the doing of science communication. The authors aim for resonance as they ask the reader to engage tangibly with sustainability through art and understand the role of emotions in transforming our approach to sustainability. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to cultivate a richer, more imaginative approach to science communication.’ Tara Roberson, Queensland University of Technology
