Position Announcement
Evidence-based science communication is needed now more than ever to communicate about environmental issues, overcome politically biased knowledge resistance, and propel effective decision-making and action. The School of Journalism and Communication (SOJC) at the University of Oregon (UO) invites applications for a tenure-track position for an Assistant Professor in Environmental Communication with an emphasis on applied environmental communication research and/or media production/data visualization to begin in fall 2024.
We seek applicants who will significantly advance the university’s priorities of creating research excellence in environmental communication to support evidence-based decision-making and improve personal and societal well-being. This person must be either (a) a preeminent practitioner with a master’s or terminal degree and a record of high-impact work; or (b) holds a Ph.D. in mass communication, communication, or related field and with significant professional production experience and a record of scholarly accomplishment that includes publication in academic journals in communication, psychology, environmental science, and/or related field. Candidates whose research and teaching programs focus on environmental science communication with an emphasis on applied research, explanatory storytelling, and/or media production/data visualization are especially encouraged to apply as are those who focus on communities affected by environmental injustice. Effective science-communication techniques are also needed across SOJC and UO to address current issues of misinformation, fake news, and scientific and media illiteracy that lives side-by-side with developing trends in SOJC programs on brand responsibility and corporate activism. We are looking for researchers, professionals, and students who share our vision to advance science communication for the benefit of our communities, and who are committed to student success and research excellence.
The person hired for this position will provide undergraduate students in our science communication minor and graduate students in our Communication and Media Studies Ph.D. program with strong production experiences and theoretical background in the role and impact of science communication.

The Rural Documentary in the European Context
In an interview a few years ago with José Luís Guerin [included in J. Cerdán and M. Torreiro (eds.): Al otro lado de la ficción, Cátedra, 2007, p. 126], the renowned Spanish documentary filmmaker remarked:
"In the history of the documentary there is something very attractive about how it has drawn people in from very diverse disciplines, people from the fields of anthropology and journalism, travellers, scientists, etc.; but all of them, even when they began using filmmaking merely as an extension of their disciplines, ended up having a cinematic revelation and making beautiful films..."
Based on Guerin’s observation, this issue of L'Atalante is intended as a forum for the exploration of the different possibilities offered by the study of the European rural documentary. The objective is to take an interdisciplinary approach to the cinematic techniques used in documentaries, their aesthetic and pedagogical qualities, and the communicative purposes they achieve. Submissions could analyse either the content (specifically, the agricultural and forestry policies that Ministries of Agriculture and other public and private institutions in different countries presented in the documentaries they produced) and the forms used in these film productions, in order to reveal those aspects that explain why the cinematic heritage constituted by these films is worthy of a prominent place in film history.
To this end, we suggest the following lines of research as potential subjects of submissions to this issue:

This book addresses new challenges to the formation of publics in datafied democracies. It proposes a fresh, complex and nuanced approach to understand 'datapublics' by considering datafication and public formation in the context of audience, journalism and infrastructure studies.
The tightly woven chapters shed new light on how platforms, algorithms and their data infrastructure are embedded in journalistic values, discourses and practices, opening up new conditions for publics to display agency, mobilize and achieve legitimacy.
This is a seminal contribution to debates about the future of media, journalism and civic practices.

Situating and positioning oneself as a researcher has a long tradition in feminist and ethnographic methodologies, but how can we rethink the notion of positionality in digital media research, when engaging with media through their data? How can we contextualize the data we are working with and acknowledge our own position(s) as researchers? Which voices, perspectives, but also biases do collaborative methods and visualization practices bring about, and how can we reflect them? We suggest that accounting for positionality and situatedness are key aspects of the ethical implications of studying online environments through multimodal data—visual, textual, and numeric.
The one-week summer school organized by the Collaborative Research Center, “Media of Cooperation”, University of Siegen, invites graduate students and postdoc researchers interested in the intersections of digital methodologies, data feminism, (visual) social media, and platforms. Our main theme, “More Than Data: Positionality and Situatedness in Digital Research”, encourages conceptual and methodological discussions that challenge the narratives of ‘impartiality’ through experimentations with situated data analysis and visualization. The summer school is practice-based and brings together conceptual inputs, methodological trainings, and sprinted group projects. Through the integration of ethnographic investigations and digital methods, we explore diverse possibilities for reflection of what positionality means in relation to environments equally co-generated by human and non-human actors. We seek to capture the nuances of subjugated knowledge through context-sensitive approaches, providing a collaborative space for rethinking digitally mediated hierarchies, binaries, and biases.
Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on how different forms of positionality and embodiment can be made visible and critically re-imagined in the process of obtaining, visualizing, and interpreting online-ethnographic and visual platform data. A blend of research practice and critical reflection, the summer school features keynotes by Celia Lury (Warwick) and Gabriele Colombo (DensityDesign/ Politecnico di Milano), one workshop, and two practical tracks intended to meet the needs of question-driven positional mapping and ethical data storytelling.
Track One
Mapping the Misappropriation of Images of Trans Bodies
The track led by facilitator Aikaterini Mniestri will enable participants to access curated networks of trans content creators on YouTube through a platform-embedded understanding of online ethnographic data. We will collaboratively develop a situated mapping of text and visual data to understand the web of positionalities of human and non-human actors involved. This track will inform an understanding of how these actors are implicated in the appropriation of images of trans bodies outside of their original setting. Participants will learn
- how to work with reverse image searching tools and image-based artificial intelligence to track images across the web
- how to engage with misappropriated images to map out their ‘second life’ away from their creators
- how to use this methodology in their own research with the help of a situational mapping template - designed as the core output of this project
This template will help participants identify human and non-human actants in the field. Additionally, it will help them explore ethnographic data from different perspectives, thus unveiling the precarity faced by LGBTQ+ creators. At the same time, this template will highlight the responsibility of the researcher to handle sensitive data with care and encourage a critique of institutional actors who distort the meaning behind images of gender transition and affirmation.
Track Two
#letztegeneration meets #klimakleber: Mapping TikTok Imaginaries of Climate Activism and Climate Change Denial
Engaging with the social moving image on TikTok, particularly the intersections of aesthetic strategies and activist tactics, this track, facilitated by Elena Pilipets and Julia Bee, focuses on the contemporary online imaginaries of climate activism and climate change denial. The hashtags #letztegeneration and #klimakleber or ‘climate stickers’—a term coined by the German media to describe climate activists who glue themselves to the cities’ streets as a form of protest—will be at the heart of our investigation.
In line with feminist and intersectional approaches (Ahmed 2004; D’ignazio and Klein 2020; Sundén and Paasonen 2020), we attend specifically to the entanglements of embodied performance, gestures, and speech, asking: How does TikTok engagement contribute to both climate catastrophe denial and the mobilization against climate activism? Which affective intensities and associations stick or fail to stick onto activists’ bodies? What spaces of critique and political intervention may they allow against the background of social media debates around feminism, sexism, and racism? And to which extent can we identify the potential for tactical reclaiming? Facilitators will combine TikTok video metadata with experimental visual methods of collage and ethical fabrication. The crafting and collective interpretation of situated data visualizations with particular attention to the body’s performative (and contested) nature will guide our exploration throughout. Participants will learn
- how to work with dynamic visual content and make sense of related engagement (video captions, stickers, effects, sounds, time of posting, hashtags, engagement metrics, etc.)
- how to trace and contextualize patterns of ‘repetition with variation’ in speech and embodied performances of TikTok climate activism and climate change denial
- how to re-imagine these patterns through collaborative mapping that moves beyond linear narratives, allowing for networked fabulation instead
Resulting analytical artefacts—such as grids, maps, drawings, montages, and blurs—will support the process of participatory media-native storytelling (Bee 2020; Pilipets 2023). We will use digital methods tools in combination with analog methods of mapping and collage as well as online collaborative platforms, such as Figma or Hotglue. Participants will receive walkthrough documents with tool installation guidelines and further helpful information in advance.
Note that this is an on-site event only; book your accommodation in Siegen in advance. The event is partly self-catered. Participation is free. Please register below:

Journal of Advertising (Special Issue)
Submission deadline: March 31, 2024
On behalf of the guest editors, I’m excited to share the latest Call for Papers from the Journal of Advertising for the Special Issue "Surveillance and Ethics in Advertising". Detailed information can be found here.
Developments in digital technologies have greatly transformed the landscape of advertising around the world. The technical possibilities and low costs of collection and processing of consumer data have led to the domination of the landscape by digital data-driven advertising (e.g., personalized advertising, social media advertising, computational advertising, programmatic advertising, artificial intelligence (AI)-powered advertising).
Given the centrality of consumer data in advertising practices and increasing amounts of surveillance both online and offline, this special issue seeks to publish innovative papers that examine the theoretical and managerial implications of surveillance and ethics in advertising. Our hope is to stimulate further research in this area. This special issue also responds to broader calls for a more diverse and contemporary development of advertising theory. We encourage submissions from multidisciplinary research teams bringing together different perspectives on the topic, as well as (comparative) research focusing on non-WEIRD countries (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic).
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
Any questions about the Special Section can be sent to the guest editors: Drs. Claire M. Segijn, Joanna Strycharz, and Sophie C. Boerman at surveillanceJA@gmail.com.
Please consider contributing to this Special Issue and help spread the word among your colleagues.
