Details

Bringing together voices and perspectives from research and practice, this volume explores the ways in which storytelling can support change toward sustainability. Unlike other anthologies, the book first provides a sound scientific basis by unfolding the storytelling approach and presenting empirical studies on its impact on effects. It clarifies important terms and presents recent findings on the impact of storytelling on sustainability from an extensive 3-year research project on this question. The second part shows how storytelling can be used in different fields of practice to communicate sustainability in more engaging and effective ways. Here, the main focus is on not only case-based accounts of positive change, but also tensions, arising from the application of storytelling for sustainability in journalism, higher education, corporate communication, or science communication.

Combining theory with practical examples, this innovative book will be a great resource for students and scholars of environmental communication and sustainable development, as well as professionals working in related fields.

From 2018 to 2020, he was an assistant professor at the School of Sustainability at Arizona State University, USA. Together with his research group SuCo2, short for Sustainable Consumption and Sustainability Communication (www.suco2.com), he researches how sustainable lifestyles can be promoted through communication and learning. Sonja Fücker is a research associate at the Research Institute of Social Cohesion (RISC) at the University of Hannover. Previously, she worked at the Institute for Environmental and Sustainability Communication (INFU) at the Leuphana University of Lüneburg. As a sociologist, her research focuses on the reception and impact of science communication. She is interested in how people acquire scientific knowledge in their everyday lives and what influence narrative and participatory transfer methods have on this. Hanna Selm worked as a research associate at the Institute for Environmental and Sustainability Communication (INFU) at the Leuphana University of Lüneburg (Germany) and has been a member of the SuCo2 research group. As a cultural scientist, she has contributed to various (research) projects in the field of sustainability communication. She is particularly interested in researching and testing new formats of sustainability communication.

From 2013 to 2020, she conducted research on various projects at the Institute for Environmental and Sustainability Communication (INFU) at Leuphana University of Lüneburg (Germany). In her Ph.D. thesis, she brings her degree in psychology to bear on sustainability-related learning processes of students in higher education to find out whether the current integration of sustainability in higher education enables and motivates students to participate in societal change.
