The colloquium explores how facts, narratives and imaginaries shape environmental action in a time when environmental crises coexist with policy backlash, political contestation and uneven trust in institutions. While environmental knowledge remains widely acknowledged, it is also strategically challenged, reframed or mobilized to serve competing interests, making the interplay between \u201cfacts\u201d and \u201cfictions\u201d central to understanding issues such as policy backsliding, climate obstruction and disinformation.\n<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;font-size: 18px\">\nAlongside working group sessions, we will hear four <span style=\"font-weight: 600\">keynote talks<\/span> by esteemed guests: \n<div style=\"font-size: 18px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 600\">Catriona McKinnon<\/span> (University of Exeter)<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 18px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 600\">Malcolm Fairbrother<\/span> (Uppsala University)<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 18px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 600\">Tero Toivanen<\/span> (University of Helsinki)<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 18px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 600\">Johanna Kaakinen<\/span> (University of Turku)<\/div>\n<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;font-size: 18px\">\nMore information are to be announced on these web-pages.
