Media + Environment

Media + Environment

Media+Environment is an open access, online, peer-reviewed journal of transnational and interdisciplinary ecomedia research. The journal seeks to foster dialogue within a fast-growing global community of researchers and creators working to understand and address the myriad ways that media and environments affect, inhabit, and constitute one another. Founded on the premise that media and environment is a crucial conjunction for our time, the journal thus encourages both traditional and multimodal forms of scholarship.

Accordingly expansive and inclusive in its orientation, Media+Environment supports scholarship about media texts and contexts: histories, technologies, networks, infrastructures, data, social media, artistic and creative works, and regulatory pipelines and policies. Together with humanistic social science scholars concentrating on media, we will advance dialogues with scientists and other interlocutors and stimulate new research seeking to connect these phenomena to a broader spatial and environmental consciousness of urgent interest.

In addition to research articles, we are interested in publishing interviews, commentaries, reviews, and audiovisual works, and also serving as a secure digital depository for a wide range of projects.
