Dear colleagues
A book I co-authored - of possible interest to those with a focus on environmental and social justice - has just been published by Routledge: Public Relations and Sustainable Citizenship: Representing the Unrepresented.
Book Description
This book examines how public relations might re-imagine itself as an instrument of "sustainable citizenship" by exploring alternative models of representing and building relationships with marginalised publics that disrupt the standard discourses of public relations. Anchored by postcolonial theory and subaltern historiography, the book focuses on how public relations can be deployed as sustainable citizenship across three core elements of the earth – air, water, and land – taking an inter-disciplinary approach that blends social and political theories with communication theories.
The following discount code applies: FLR40.
