This session explores the nature of double binds in relation to entwined social and environmental crises. Together, Steffi Bednarek and Bec Davison will discuss the psychological and social constructs that lead to feelings of stuckness and paralysis in the face of complex global challenges. In this talk, they will explore how understanding the psychological impacts of issues such as climate change can inform more effective communication, engagement, and policy-making in the social sciences and humanities.
