Introduction to FLICC
Social scientists have been using diagrams and iconography to organise forms of climate denialism and greenwashing: howdo these visual systems work and how might they be further developed?

Dr. Peter A Hall is a design writer and educator whose research focuses on mapping and visualization as critical and participatory practices. His recent book Critical Visualization (Bloomsbury Academic 2022), co-written with Patricio Dávila, sets out a critical framework for understanding and making data visualization. Previous works include the book Else/Where: Mapping – New Cartographies of Networks and Territories (edited with Janet Abrams, University of Minnesota 2006) and book chapters on generative design criticism, uses of failure, and mapping as a process. Dr Hall is Reader in GraphicDesign at CCW, University of the Arts London, where he supervises PhD students and teaches on MA Global Collaborative Design Practice in collaboration with Kyoto Institute of Technology. He is the UAL lead on Climate Truth Crisis, a EU-fundedKA2 Cooperation Partnership Project exploring how visual communication design can respond to the problem of climate disinformation. He previously held academic positions at Central Saint Martins (2015-2021), Griffith University Queensland College of Art in Australia (2012-15), the University of Texas at Austin, USA (2007-12), and Yale School of Art, USA (2000-2007). He is co-founder of DesignInquiry, a non-profit educational organization devoted to researching design issues in intensive team-based gatherings, based in Maine, USA.
