Final Program
Awaiting confirmation of second speaker
Speakers
Ro Randall: “Feminism and the politics of pro-environmental behaviour change”
Ro Randall will discuss whether current demands for behavioural change fall unequally on women and men and whether a more sophisticated understanding of psychology and gender roles is needed if we are to create a low-carbon society that does not disadvantage women.
Ro is a psychotherapist and feminist who has been involved in the environmental movement for many years. She is the originator (with Andy Brown) of the Carbon Conversations project and writes and lectures widely on psychology and climate change. She is on the steering group of the Climate Psychology Alliance, is a member of the core team of Common Cause and was also the founder of local charity Cambridge Carbon Footprint.
To be confirmed
We have provisionally agreed a second inspirational speaker, but we await confirmation
