In this webinar Professor Sarah Bradshaw considers how the notions of nature, natural and naturalness, and of hazard and disaster, have been understood in the COVID-19 context. She reflects on the use of these notions in the conceptualisations and contextualisations of COVID-19 as a gendered experience.

 

Sarah Bradshaw is Professor of Gender and Sustainable Development and Head of the School of Law at Middlesex University, London. A feminist and a scholar-practitioner, her work focusses on gendered rights, poverty and poverty alleviation, and household decision making. Sarah combines research with practice, having lobbied around World Bank policies, advocated for the inclusion of gendered rights in UN processes, and engaged in inter-governmental negotiations around international policy frameworks.
