    Environment and children’s everyday lives in India and England: Experiences, understandings and practices Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Catherine Louise Walker University College London (UCL) Supervised by: Professor Ann Phoenix, Thomas Coram Research Unit, UCL Institute of Education Professor Janet Boddy, Centre for Innovation in Research on Childhood and Youth, University of Sussex 1 Declaration I carried out the study presented in this thesis as a doctoral researcher on the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods node NOVELLA (Narratives of Varied Everyday Lives and Linked Approaches), and in collaboration with researchers on two research studies, Family Lives and the Environment and Young Lives. The thesis presents data that have been generated through collaborative work between myself and members of these research studies. I conducted all of the new research in children’s schools and almost all of the new interviews with children in their homes. Except where explicit attribution is made, the analyses presented in this thesis are my own. Word count (exclusive of appendices and bibliography): 79,976 words 2 Abstract In the context of heightened global concerns about resource sustainability and ‘climate change’, children are often discursively positioned as the ‘next generation’ by environmentalists and policy makers concerned with addressing ‘climate change’ and environmental degradation. This positioning serves to present a moral case for action and to assign children a unique place in the creation of more sustainable societies. In this study I critically engage with the assumptions about children’s agency underlying such positioning by considering these assumptions in relation to children’s situated narratives of environment and everyday life.

  • Applying Psychology
    Applying Psychology We would like to dedicate this course to the memory of Brenda Smith, Psychology Staff Tutor and member of the course team, who died during the final year of the course’s production. She had been a Psychology Staff Tutor since 1995, first in Scotland and then most recently in Ireland, but her close association with the Open University stretches back much further than this. She was an Open University student herself and then later returned to teach and was a tutor who enthused and supported very many students throughout their social science studies. At her funeral one of these students spoke very movingly of her warmth and energy and of the fact that she had really ‘made a difference’ to their lives. She certainly also made a difference to our DSE212 course team, where her commitment to education for mature students was clear in everything that she said and did, and her immensely hard work influenced many of our plans for the teaching and learning strategy of the course and the content of the texts. She contributed enormously at both a professional and personal level, particularly to theearlyworkofthecourseteam,andwehopethatherinfluenceonthecourse will shine through, helping it in turn to ‘make a difference’ to the lives of all the students who will study it in the coming years.

  • How the Social Sciences, Humanities and the Arts Can SHAPE a Positive, Post-Pandemic Future for Peoples, Economies and Environments
    Journal of the British Academy, 8, 167–266 DOI https://doi.org/10.5871/jba/008.167 Posted 2 October 2020 Shape the Future: how the social sciences, humanities and the arts can SHAPE a positive, post-pandemic future for peoples, economies and environments Molly Morgan Jones, Dominic Abrams and Aditi Lahiri Abstract: COVID-19 is the most challenging global public health crisis we have faced for many decades. However, it is more than a health crisis. The impacts go well beyond the medical sphere and are changing lives, livelihoods, communities and economies within and across nation-states. The British Academy launched its Shape the Future initiative in May 2020 to bring insights from the social sciences, humanities and the arts together to understand how we can shape a positive future for people, the econ- omy and the environment post-pandemic. These disciplines have a critical role to play in the handling of and recovery from the pandemic. This paper summarises the discussions held during twenty policy and research workshops which considered topics under three broad themes relevant to the post-pandemic future: revitalising societal well-being, recreating an inclusive economy around purpose, and revisiting the histories and cultures of science, policy and politics. Keywords: COVID-19, society, history, culture, policy, SHAPE. Note on the authors: Dr Molly Morgan Jones is Director of Policy at the British Academy. Dominic Abrams is Professor of Social Psychology and Director of the Centre for the Study of Group Processes, at the University of Kent. He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 2013, and until July 2020 was the Academy’s Vice President (Social Sciences).
