Learning from disruption and moments of change (Xxxxxxxxx & Hoolohan Sample Clauses

Learning from disruption and moments of change (Xxxxxxxxx & Hoolohan. We use ‘moments of change’ as an analytical device to examine how changes in the actions of individuals and organisations occur. Moments of change take many forms: biographical changes (e.g. pregnancy or retiring); personal interaction with innovations (e.g. car-share or heat pumps); experience of climate-related events (e.g. heatwaves or floods52); and large-scale political or infrastructural disruption (e.g., Brexit, economic downturns). Such moments of change are potentially significant as they can affect the basic rhythms of everyday life and disrupt behavioural and organisational routines. This project will integrate sociological, political, socio-technical and psychological understandings of moments of change. It will apply this interdisciplinary understanding to everyday actions of individuals and organisations in the four challenging areas, thus offering a much-needed account of climate change response along the temporal dimension (i.e., from stability to sudden change). Project 2.3 will combine insights from secondary data with primary data collected through interviews, focus groups and surveys, to examine responses to different forms of disruption and their implications for emission trajectories and resilience. (a) Secondary and survey data analysis: Building on our recent work60,61, we will use the UK Understanding Society survey and other available cohort and cross- sectional datasets (e.g., German Socio-Economic Panel; International Social Survey Programme) to explore the impact of change (e.g., retiring, relocating, health) on climate change attitudes, values and behaviours. In addition, novel correlational data on moments of change will be collected in conjunction with project 1.4 and analysed to examine how perceived disruption impacts on climate change attitudes and behaviours across diverse cultures. This secondary data analysis will be undertaken by a linked PhD studentship (Cardiff). (b) Primary mixed-method data will be collected on household and organisational level experiences of moments of change. We will focus on four moments of change: (i) biographical (childbirth and residential relocation); (ii) technological (e.g., acquiring a heat pump); (iii) environmental (e.g., drought); and (iv) socio-political (e.g., Brexit). For each, data will be derived from stakeholder interviews, public surveys, and focus groups examining the effects of
