The Two-Day Annual Research Conclave and International Conference held on 21st and 22nd January 2025 provided an intellectual platform for researchers from diverse fields to share their insights and findings. Among the distinguished presenters was me, who delivered an in-depth analysis of the role of media in shaping eco-trauma, with a specific focus on recent environmental disasters in Kerala and its neighbouring regions. My paper, titled Media and Eco-Trauma: Media as a Catalyst for Eco-Trauma – A Case Study of Recent Environmental Disasters in Kerala and Neighbourhood Areas, explored the significant impact of media narratives in constructing public perceptions of environmental disasters. The study delved into the ways media amplifies eco-trauma, influences policy-making, and affects societal responses to environmental crises. The presentation examined case studies of major environmental disasters that have struck Kerala and its neighbouring states, analyzing the media’s role in reporting, sensationalism, and advocacy. The research highlighted how media outlets have acted as both informers and influencers, shaping the discourse surrounding ecological calamities. The session was chaired by Amitha P. Mani, who facilitated an engaging discussion, offering critical perspectives on the intersection of media studies and environmental concerns. Attendees, both online and offline, actively participated in the Q&A session, raising thought-provoking questions about the ethical responsibilities of media in reporting environmental disasters. With over 25 presenters contributing to the conference, the event successfully fostered a multidisciplinary dialogue, encouraging collaborations across research fields. The conference concluded on a high note, reinforcing the significance of research in bridging gaps between media, environmental studies, and public consciousness
