The research project Centring Families in Iceland’s Just Transition sheds light on the key role of Icelandic families in climate action and sustainability. On October 9, there will be a public presentation of the project’s main emphases and its implementation, which combines processing from interviews with Icelandic families and research into the manifestations of families and environmental action in literature and film.
Time: October 9, 2025, 3-4 p.m.
Location: Saga, University of Iceland, room S-277

The aim is to explore how a just transition can be realized in people's everyday lives and how ideas about family, society and nature are reflected in culture and people’s experience around the country. Emphasis is placed on close collaboration between researchers, families and policymakers, and the presentation is the first step in an open dialogue with the public.
The research received funding from the British Academy and is a collaborative project between the University of Iceland and Brunel University.
The event will take place in a newly renovated Saga, Hagatorg, room 227. The project’s team will give short introductions, present the project’s website and answer questions. They are Auður Aðalsteinsdóttir, Director of the Research Center of the University of Iceland in Þingeyjarsveit, Auður Magndís Auðardóttir, Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Education and Pedagogy at the University of Iceland, Utsa Mukherjee, Senior Lecturer in Education at Brunel University, Rannveig Ágústa Guðjónsdóttir, Postdoctoral Researcher in Education and Pedagogy, and Angela Snæfellsjökuls Rawlings, Postdoctoral Researcher in Cultural Studies.
