Summer School description and scope
Climate change represents one of the most complex challenges of our time, requiring
transdisciplinary expertise that blends scientific, social, cultural, ethical, and
communicative competences. This Summer School is designed to foster dialogue across
disciplines and explore how climate change is addressed in different academic and social
contexts.
Over four days of insightful lectures and workshops, participants will engage with scholars
from the fields of geography, linguistics, philosophy, sociology, psychology, and
communication studies. Activities and discussions will focus on the ways climate change
affects health, ecosystems, social inequalities, and public discourse, as well as on the ethical
and communicative challenges involved in climate action. Participants will collaborate to
develop a climate-related case study, working throughout the program toward a shared
project for future research perspectives. This structure is intended to encourage exchange
across methods and perspectives, and support participants in developing translating
disciplinary knowledge into collaborative research and communication practices.
The Summer School will be held in English and will take place in person at the University
of Salerno from 16 to 19 June 2026. We welcome PhD students, postdoctoral researchers,
early-career scholars, and researchers from a range of disciplinary backgrounds who are
interested in interdisciplinary perspectives on climate change.
For questions or expressions of interest, please contact: dis4change@unisa.it
We warmly invite interested participants to apply and join us for an intensive and
collaborative exploration of climate change across disciplines.
