Digital Activism Targeting Businesses
A growing amount of social and environmental activism occurs on social media. How has the rise of digital activism affected corporate sustainability practices? We examine the relationship between digital activism and corporate sustainability practices, perceptions of risk, value, and discourse on business sustainability themes.
Virtual vs Physical Worlds
As our lives move increasingly online, our relationship to the natural world is changing. How does our increasing affinity for digital devices impact our feelings about wild places? And what, if any, impact might spending more time online have on support for conservation?
Environmental Discourse and the Internet
The internet has emerged as a powerful medium for sharing information about environmental issues. How does online discourse about the environment vary across time/space and what impact does it have on human knowledge, values, behaviours, and modes of environmental governance? We interrogate the role of emergent and established platforms like TikTok and Twitter to understand how they affect human relations with the natural environment.
Environmental Bias in Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping how humans obtain information about environmental challenges. Yet the output of AI chatbots contains biases that affect how humans view these challenges and the solutions to address them. We employ qualitative and quantitative content analysis to identify instances of bias in chatbot output about the issues, causes, consequences, and solutions to environmental challenges.
