The series of lectures is dedicated to the question of how the media produce and communicate knowledge about climate change. In lectures and discussions, experts from science and artistic practice will discuss pressing questions on sustainability, climate justice and climate change, the role of media representations and mediations and the resulting responsibilities and possibilities for action for university research and teaching.
