Guest speaker, Dr Catherine Trundle, a medical anthropologist at La Trobe University. She specialises in heat stress and climate justice, so she will be the perfect speaker as we head into summer!

Catherine says:  This talk will discuss the diverse ways gender shapes experiences of extreme heat. I'll explore how extreme heat interacts with gender-based violence, care practices, women's health, parenting, and gendered workspaces. I will also examine how gender inequities interact with heat to impact women and women's rights. I'll discuss research in Australia as well as diverse international settings and consider the role of women's organisations in supporting action on extreme heat.
