ARENAS Researchers Publish Chapter in New Volume on Digital Knowledge Dissemination

We are pleased to announce that ARENAS consortium members Julien Longhi of CY Cergy Paris University and Katalin Miklóssy of the University of Helsinki have co-authored Chapter 9 in the soon to be published book Recontextualizing Expert Knowledge: The Process, Practices and Aims of Digital Dissemination.

Edited by Rosa Lorés and Pilar Mur‑Dueñas, this volume, which is available for pre-order,  explores how expert knowledge is transformed and communicated across today’s digital environments. It examines how digital media shapes the process of recontextualisation, in which scholarly information is adapted for broader public audiences. The book addresses author-generated dissemination (such as The Conversation and TED Talks), mediated dissemination through journalism and social media, and professional communication in fields including climate research and sensitive topics.

Chapter 9, authored by Julien Longhi and Katalin Miklóssy, appears in Part 3 of the volume, which focuses on professional communication practices in contexts such as climate research and other sensitive domains. Their jointly authored work contributes to the book’s wider investigation of how expert knowledge is reshaped when shared with non-specialist audiences, and how communicators address the complexities of digital platforms and public understanding.

The publication has already received positive attention and feedback from scholarly reviewers in the fields of discourse analysis, pragmatics, linguistics and science communication.
