Dynamic Affective–Agentic Positionings in Climate Engagement: Theorizing the Social Media Rhizome

Expert talk by Prof. Sutirtha Chatterjee, Professor of Information Systems, Lee Business School, University of Nevada, Las Vegas examining how affect, discourse, and technology shape climate engagement on social media. The research conceptualises digital climate engagement as a non-linear, evolving process and identifies four configurations: high engagement, ordinary engagement, antagonistic engagement, and fractured engagement. It explores how these are shaped by spatial and temporal experiences, in-group/out-group polarisation, and algorithmic amplification.
