Mistra Environmental Communication first findings – an afternoon of speedtalks and discussion

What do we know about environmental communication that we did not know a year ago? On May 20th, we’ll take stock of the insights that are beginning to emerge from our work within Mistra Environmental Communication.

The afternoon will include a range of short talks, presenting first findings from different parts of the programme, as well as discussions.

Discussions in small groups will explore the findings and emerging themes, also in relation to the work that is planned or still ongoing and practical implications of the findings.

You are welcome to just join for the speedtalks or to stay on for the discussion – as you prefer!

Some of the presentations may be recorded.

Power and ambivalence in dialogue experts’ stories

Amelia Mutter

This talk will present material from a series of focus groups where practitioners have discussed stories of interactions with citizens in the planning of the district Gottsunda in Uppsala. It outlines initial findings considering the question how dialogue experts make sense of their use of power in such dialogues with citizens. Our findings show that while experts are reflexive and critical about their use of power, they find it difficult to justify this usage.

Understanding government-led dialogues in Sápmi: A structural perspective

Kaisa Raitio and Annette Löf 

The WP1 case study on natural resource management in Sápmi investigates the conditions for dialogue processes between forestry and Sámi reindeer herding.  In our talk we present an analytical approach that combines three perspectives: 1) the recognition of reindeer herding communities as right-holders and hence the need for rights-based dialogues;  2) a systemic approach that recognizes the structural causes of the forestry-reindeer conflicts and analyses dialogue processes in their regulatory context; and 3) an agonistic approach that looks at the power relations and conflict dynamics within and outside the dialogue processes to assess the constructive potential of current dialogues as a planning and governing tool.
