Project Details
Project Description
Independent Research Fund Denmark
(External advisor to CI B. Brauchler)
This project deals with environmental destruction caused by large-scale plantation and mining operations in Indonesia. This affects not only people's livelihoods in the immediate area, but also the rest of the world, as the destruction threatens the balance of global ecosystems.
Through ethnographic research online and offline, the project will create knowledge about how, and to what extent, digital media usage leads to more environmentally sustainable behaviour in Indonesia. This is done through three analytical concepts:
How are environmental issues depicted in online news and social media (framing)?
How are media used to mobilise against environmental destruction (activism)?
How does framing and activism influence media users’ environmental practices (routines)?
Overall, the project aims to develop a broad understanding of the transformative potential of the connection between environmental challenges and digital media (in the project named 'the digital-environment nexus') towards more environmental sustainability.
