Lara Hensle

I am a doctoral student at the division of Environmental Communication. In my research, I aim to explore the communication between (environmental) non-governmental organizations and their members and wider audiences, currently with a focus on online communication. I am specifically addressing questions of relationships between the organization and its audiences, how NGOs and their audiences talk about knowledge and express emotions. 
On a larger scale, I am interested in a wide range of communicative questions regarding human-human interactions in society, democracy, governance, conflict, facilitation, and the role of science, knowledge, and expertise, and emotions in the context of sustainability and the environment - and how all of these are interconnected.
