La sede del progetto è in Belgio. Le mansioni principali includono lo sviluppo di attività di ricerca sulle dimensioni comunicative e discorsive della litigazione climatica internazionale, la raccolta di materiali di comunicazione e pubblicazioni, e l'applicazione di metodi analitici. È richiesta la collaborazione nella produzione di un database sui casi di litigazione climatica e nella redazione di pubblicazioni scientifiche. È preferibile un dottorato in scienze della comunicazione, diritto o scienze politiche. The CLAIM project – Climate Litigation Actions by the Internationally Marginalised – is an ARC project (Concerted Research Action, UCLouvain) situated at the intersection of law, political science, and communication studies. CLAIM aims to analyse the role and practices of marginalised actors in international climate-change-related litigation. It draws on three disciplines – law, political science, and communication studies – to go beyond a purely technical legal analysis and to consider power dynamics and the way discourses and practices are constructed before, during, and after cases. Climate change particularly affects marginalised stakeholders, and climate-related litigation has been widely used by these actors. Beyond the litigation itself, these actions trigger a range of related strategies in the fields of law, politics, and communication. https://sites.uclouvain.be/CLAIM/ Main tasks Within the CLAIM project, develop research activities to analyse the communicational and discursive dimensions of international climate litigation. This will involve defining specific research strategies in collaboration with the CLAIM team; collecting a corpus of publications and communication materials, particularly media and digital content; applying appropriate analytical methods, including quantitative and/or qualitative analysis of discursive and multimodal materials; and, where relevant, conducting interviews and observation. Collaborate in producing a database listing international climate litigation cases, particularly those initiated by marginalised actors. Produce scientific publications and presentations in collaboration with the other CLAIM project researchers. Participate in coordinating the research team. Annuncio in inglese.
