Agreement Date:
Sep 1, 2021 - Feb 28, 2026
Description:
This Interdisciplinary PhD (IDPhD) sets out to delineate a curve of support over time for a nature-based adaptation installation, based on culturomic insights about land use and landscape values derived from, e.g. opinionbased media coverage (e.g. Twitter), lifestyle-oriented media (e.g. Instagram) and/or conventional media. A diachronic comparative social impact assessment approach will be used in selecting case studies to isolate the impact of nature-based installation from other changes underway in culture, context and media practice.
