Aims and Scope

 

The Journal of Environmental Media (JEM) explores the role of digital culture and emergent media in shaping environmentally themed content and activism, communicating environmental data and impacting social perceptions of the environment. JEM is a scholarly platform aimed at bridging work in environmental studies, digital culture studies, environmental justice, media industry studies, science and technology studies, media anthropology and environmental communication, covering a range of environmental issues such as climate change, environmental racism, renewable and fossil fuel infrastructures, species extinction, climate migration and e-waste. We promote work that engages with diverse methodological and disciplinary approaches, bringing social science research into dialogue with environmental humanities discourses on production cultures, screen studies and environmental justice. JEM includes a broad landscape of media forms and practices, including smart technology, machine learning, popular media and streaming services, social media platforms, apps and new developments in augmented reality and virtual reality.
