Minimum Education Level: Students - Researchers

Description:
The summer school in “Climate Change Theories, Narrations and Discourse: Sharing Knowledges and Practices” is aimed at students and researchers from different disciplines who seek to share their methods, knowledge and good practices in regard to climate change critical theories, narrations and discourse.

It will provide a collaborative space for students and researchers who aim to investigate how climate change is communicated, narrated, and socially constructed. It will therefore provide theoretical and methodological tools for the identification of linguistic, discursive, narrative and multimodal strategies in dialogue with related studies in the humanities and social sciences.

The summer school will take place under the aegis of the newly born Interuniversity Centre Dis-4Change: Studies on Climate Change and Environmental Discourse which was founded in 2023 by the University of Naples L’Orientale (administrative headquarter), the University of Bologna – Alma Mater, the University of Bari, the University of Milan, the University of Salerno, the University of Turin and the University of Udine.
