Lisa Johns
Lisa Johns is a Ph.D. candidate at the Abess Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy. Her research focuses on how formal qualities and peripheral cues embedded in short-form digital storytelling impact environmental perceptions across various interpretive audiences. She is particularly interested in exploring how heuristic cues and different modes of engagement can be leveraged to elevate perceptions of scientific credibility and support for environmental policy surrounding climate change.
Her past work has focused on how marine-related aspects of climate change are represented in scientific journalism in the United States and the impact of fear-arousing imagery on social media user engagement.
