<span style="font-size:11.0pt">This colloquium will consider the way photography, comics, visual art, film and video, social media, the press and books might cultivate feeling for spaces, places and environmental politics.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>How might media motivate or exhaust environmental action and climate justice<span style="color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">? On what occasions might sentiment be a productive and catalysing force? Might some forms of media, in their making, circulation
and consumption, militate against meaningful ecological change? <span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span></span>How and when are people moved by stories and images of the more-than-human world, and what might be the consequences of such feelings? What feelings prompt people to create and curate their own eco-media, and what forms do these media take?
