British Academy/Wellcome Trust Conferences bring together scholars and specialists from around the world to explore themes related to health and wellbeing.

This conference will bring together experts from the fields of sociology, science technology and society, public health, air pollution science, data science (visualisation), and data art to uncover how air quality is communicated in the public realm. Featuring cutting-edge research on the 'air quality information landscape’, it will unpack how 'the air' is communicated in digitally mediated space. By convening individuals from across disciplines, this conference will create new opportunities for collaboration and will highlight how disciplinary restrictions may hinder collaborative thinking and approaches to air quality communication.

Conference participants will be invited to co-design a short film to highlight its key themes and outcomes.

Conference convenors:

  • Dr Kayla Schulte, Imperial College London
  • Andrew Grieve, Imperial College London
  • Karl Dudman, University of Oxford
