Rebecca Huntley Discusses Visual Communication for Climate Action at Australian Museum Lecture

On June 2, 2022, social researcher Rebecca Huntley delivered the Talbot Oration at the Australian Museum, exploring how imagery can effectively communicate climate issues and motivate public engagement. Her presentation drew on extensive social trend analysis to demonstrate how visual media can cut through digital noise and inspire concrete responses. Following her talk, Huntley participated in a panel discussion with climate justice advocate Tishiko King and engineer Saul Griffith, moderated by Distinguished Professor Larissa Behrendt. The annual Talbot Oration honors former museum director Frank Talbot's environmental research legacy and aims to advance public understanding of climate science and conservation strategies. This event was part of the museum's 'Nights at the Museum' programming series.
