Hi! I’m Joe, a 3rd year PhD student at @NCL_Geography. Today I'll present my research: Exploring narratives of socio-ecological crisis and transformation amongst young environmental activists in North East England #pfgtc2020 #pgfhome #IAAGEOG #crisis #transformation (1)

A good introduction to my research is through 3 key components. We live in an era of ecological (and social) #crisis. Addressing these crises requires #transformation. I have been exploring these processes from the perspective of #youngactivists. #pfgtc2020 #pgfhome #IAAGEOG (2)

To do this I interviewed and engaged with #youngactivists participating in collective environmental action in the North East. Participants represented a wide range of different formats of activism and issue orientations present in the region #pfgtc2020 #pgfhome #IAAGEOG (3)

I've chosen 5 findings to highlight here. Each refers to a theme which I identified as recurring across participant narratives, having analysed all interview transcripts. Feel free to ask for more detail on any of them! #Crisis #Transformation #pfgtc2020 #pgfhome #IAAGEOG (4)

This research has left me with many reflections in terms of opportunities and tensions to be navigated moving forward from both academic and movement perspectives. Thanks to everyone following this session, I am happy to discuss anything further! #pfgtc2020 #pgfhome #IAAGEOG (5)
