Traditionally, media and the environment have been framed as an opposition, contrasting the mediated and the natural world. The Carsey-Wolf Center’s research in environmental media takes a different approach. Fostering collaboration among environmental scientists, media scholars, and media producers, Carsey-Wolf’s environmental initiatives explore productive futures for environment and media. We study the ways in which media can be used to bring more people to understand and care about the natural world and our place in it.
