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, what role media representations and mediations play in this and what responsibilities and possibilities for action arise from this for university research and teaching.
