Reihe: Contemporary Issues in Science Communication

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.
