I'm writing to let you know about an upcoming seminar organised by Food Action and Research Midlands (FARM). Dr Rebecca O'Connell, UCL, will be giving a talk on Thursday 5th December 13.30-14.30 at Warwick University, entitled 'Families and Food in Hard Times'.
Bio:
Rebecca O’Connell is Reader in the Sociology of Food and Families, Thomas Coram Research Unit, UCL Institute of Education. She is co-author, with Abigail Knight and Julia Brannen, of Living Hand to Mouth: Children and food in low income families (CPAG, 2019) and, with Julia Brannen, of Food, Families, and Work (Bloomsbury, 2016). From 2014-2019 she was Principal Investigator of the European Research Council funded study, Families and Food in Hard Times (foodinhardtimes.org).
Abstract:
In the years following the financial crisis of 2008 and subsequent so-called austerity measures in some countries, household food insecurity has risen in Europe, although there are differences between countries. Families and Food in Hard Times (2014-2019, ERC grant agreement n° 337977) adopted an embedded case study design to examine the extent and experience of food poverty in the UK, Portugal and Norway. It included secondary analysis of large scale international data alongside qualitative research with young people aged 11-15 years and their parents in 133 families in the three countries. The talk describes the study’s methodology and discusses some of the main findings including the resources available to different types of families, the strategies they use to get by and parents’ and young people’s experiences of being ‘food poor’. It concludes with some recommendations from the UK research that were developed in collaboration with the Child Poverty Action Group.
