CHASE Dialogues is a discussion series foregrounding the significant roles the arts and humanities have played and continue to play in big discussions today in collaboration with STEM-related fields.
How do the arts and humanities engage with climate crisis? How can they contribute to climate justice? In what ways can arts and humanities research and practice meaningfully engage communities and provide pathways for these engagements to influence climate policies? How do and can the arts and humanities intersect with and broaden the work on the climate crisis in STEM disciplines?
The arts, including visual art, literature, performance, and music, have the power to shape public perceptions and inspire action on climate issues. Climate justice—concerned with addressing the disproportionate impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities—can be enriched and deepened collaboratively through artistic expression of STEM-related research. This roundtable explores how the arts can contribute to and enhance efforts in climate justice by fostering innovative and integrative research approaches. It emphasises the importance of collaboration across different fields to envision and work towards a more sustainable and equitable future.
