March GESA Doctoral Network Meeting

How to engage different social groups with climate change adaptation and activism

 

The first presentation will be given by Young Hwa, a PhD student in the school of Geosciences. Her research focuses on how vulnerable groups are defined and encountered in the context of reducing risks and strengthening resilience as part of emerging climate change adaptation, and how different stakeholders understand different levels and types of social vulnerability.

The second presentation will be by Alice Hague, whose PhD is an interdisciplinary research project across the School of Social and Political. Her presentation - "Caring for the Future through the Past: faith-based climate activism" - will focus on the engagement of faith-based communities in environmental issues.

There will be time after the presentations to have a discussion on how different disciplines approach some of the issues discussed in the presentations. We will also invite volunteers to present at the following GESA meeting, which will be held on the 10th of April.
