The EcoCultureLab supported open-access journal Media+Environment has just launched two new “streams” (ongoing series of articles), one on “Disaster Media” and the other on “Mediating Art and Science.” The latter grew in part from a roundtable at Feverish World. Thanks to all the authors who submitted pieces for it (some are forthcoming in the next issue of the journal).
My co-editor Alenda Chang notes:
Looking back in my inbox, I just realized that Adrian Ivakhiv and I have been working on this "stream" (like a special issue but ongoing) for almost a year and a half, so it's a huge relief and joy to see some of this content published and finally seeing the light of day. These are genuinely unique essays by Ellie Irons, Danielle Christianson, and Sabiha Ahmad Khan, leveraging not just text but also photography, screenshots, video, lawn plots, red fir forests, and JELL-O, from diverse disciplinary perspectives (socially engaged environmental art practice, ecology and data science, animation/film and media studies).
All of these articles, plus Janet and Lisa's tremendous overview of the disaster media topic and Rahul Mukherjee's contribution to our "States of Media and Environment" series/stream, are open-access and readable here: https://mediaenviron.org/issue/2225
Please read, share, and teach with these as appropriate.
