Dear all, I received the followng from my friend and colleague Tema Milstein. Please spread the word. You are warmly invited to attend the 18th Biennial Conference on Communication and Environment (COCE 2025), themed “Environment and Communication: Shifting Perspectives, Creativity, and Conviviality from the Edge.” I thought you would be interested in presenting and/or attending and also wanted to ask you the favour of helping to share the call among your EcoMedia networks (Flier also attached). Thank you in advance for your help and we hope to see you there! The call for proposals is now open for COCE, which will be held for the first time in the Southern Hemisphere (Tasmania, Australia) from 23-27 June 2025, with virtual participation options available. The International Environmental Communication Association (IECA) and the University of Tasmania’s School of Creative Arts and Media are collaborating to deliver a conference that will blend traditional and innovative formats. We invite scholars, artists, practitioners, and activists to submit proposals in a variety of formats, including research papers, practice reflections, artworks, panels, workshops, and unique participant-suggested ideas. We encourage proposals that explore shifting perspectives on environmental communication and emphasize creativity and conviviality. Submission timing is for those who wish to participate as presenters, but those who do not present are warmly welcomed to participate in COCE through their engaged attendance (see registration and conference dates below). Important Dates: Submission Deadline: 31 October 2024, 11:59 PM PST Notification of Acceptance: 15 December 2024 Registration opens: 15 December 2024 Conference Dates: 23-27 June 2025 COCE 2025 will take place in the culturally and environmentally significant city of Hobart, Tasmania. In addition to panels, roundtables, workshops, performances, and innovative format sessions, the conference will include a range of in-person events such as a graduate/postgraduate/HDR student and early career pre-conference workshop/camp, a post-conference Deep Ecology retreat with John Seed, hosted experiential excursions in the city and bush, and a COCE pre-party in the form of solstice arts and culture festival Dark MOFO, which ends the day before COCE begins. Virtual attendees will also have access to engaging discussions, networking opportunities, and interactive sessions via the online conference platform, FourWaves. For more details on how to submit your proposals and to register, please visit our conference website. Should you have questions or need further information, feel free to contact IECA Association Manager Valentina Martinez at [email protected]. We hope to see you at COCE 2025! https://lnkd.in/dgFWmhTv
