Mothering in Crisis - Family, Disaster and Climate Change

Explore the impact of climate change on mothers and families through this seminar presenting findings from the "Mothering in Crisis: Family, Disaster and Climate Change" project. Delve into how Australian mothers experience climate-fuelled disasters, compare their experiences to historical contexts, and identify support needed for families facing radical environmental change. Examine archived interviews, sub-themes in parenting during disasters, and emotional challenges of rebuilding. Analyze experiences from Queensland floods, children's perspectives on climate change, and comparative UK interviews. Gain insights into the unique challenges and impacts faced by mothers as they navigate environmental crises while caring for their families.
