Focus areas 2020-2023
The present focus areas emerged as themes of concern and interest from program period 2020-2023.
Dialogues in governance for sustainability
Dialogue-based governance is a promising but challenging way to involve actors with diverse perspectives. We develop knowledge about the role of power and conflict in dialogue processes and ways to constructively deal with these.
Consumption
"Traditional" individual- and lifestyle-focused communication in consumption contexts is a point of departure for expanding on such models. Environmental psychology and theories on social interaction, identity formation and practices are combined in new research.
Knowledge co-production for sustainability transformations
We research knowledge co-production to enable new kinds of practice and processes to support transitions towards sustainable futures.
Organisational networks in market contexts
The goal of WP 4 is to understand and assess the impacts of contemporary communication expectations and practices on the willingness and ability of organisations to embrace sustainability.
