Environment and Sustainability
This cluster explores the discursive and material negotiations surrounding the discourse on environmental sustainability, focusing on tensions between anthropocentric and ecocentric ideologies. The works investigate diverse media contexts, such as Facebook groups, TV series, and documentaries, to uncover how environmental concerns are constructed, resisted, or contested.
Media and Politics
This cluster examines the intersections of media and politics, with a focus on leadership, governance, and the role of alternative media in challenging hegemonic narratives. It emphasises how media constructs, reinforces, or critiques power dynamics and identities in varying contexts.
Discursive-Material Entanglements
Focusing on the entanglements of discursive and material, this cluster employs a discursive-material approach to analysis. By connecting textual and visual elements with their material contexts, these works offer deep insights into how meanings are constructed and contested.
Identity
This cluster explores identity construction within specific cultural and regional contexts. It interrogates how various discourses shape identities.
Participation
This cluster focuses on innovative methodologies, particularly participatory and interdisciplinary approaches, to academic knowledge production. It emphasises co-creation with non-academic partners and alternative ways of communicating research beyond traditional academic texts.
