The SWDTP had not one, but two finalists in the ESRC Better Lives Writing Competition 2018-19, with Celia Robbins and Niall McLoughlin both making it to the last 12!
Celia Robbins entry “Tilting at windmills in a climate-changed world”, delves into the polarising opinions caused by wind turbines and how important it is to look into the causes of these attitudes with the need for renewable energy becoming more pressing.
Niall McLoughlins article “How psychology can help communities cope in a changing climate” deals with the effects that flooding has on its victims from a psychological perspective and how the levels of public engagement could help people to cope with the trauma.
To read their articles along with all the other finalists, view the competition booklet on the ESRC website.
