Women and climate change: data

This dataset contains qualitative data related to the Women, Leadership and Climate Change National Forum convened in Melbourne in November 2009 by the Gender Leadership and Social Sustainability (GLASS) research unit at Monash University. It is an output of a project funded by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF). Using a method articulated in Research for social workers: an introduction to methods (Alston, 2003), during August and September 2009, Margaret Alston and Kerri Whittenbury conducted 3 focus groups where the 30 participants were women from irrigation areas and small communities in the Murray-Darling Basin system area talking about the social impacts of declining water. Transcripts of the recordings were analysed and informed the workshop agenda for the national forum which was attended by over 100 women from all parts of Australia. The dataset also includes 6 PowerPoint presentations from guest speakers at the Forum. The data has also informed 10 keynote addresses and was used by Margaret Alston in her virtual seminar, "Gender and Climate Change: Crisis in Australia's Foodbowl–The Murray-Darling Basin" during a Conference at Pennsylvania State University, Integrating Development and Climate Change Ethics.

本数据集包含与2009年11月由莫纳什大学（Monash University）性别领导力与社会可持续性（GLASS）研究单元在墨尔本举办的"女性、领导力与气候变化全国论坛"相关的质性研究数据。本数据集为澳大利亚农业、渔业与林业部（DAFF）资助的研究项目成果。参照玛格丽特·奥尔斯顿2003年在《社会工作研究：方法导论》（Research for social workers: an introduction to methods）中阐述的研究方法，玛格丽特·奥尔斯顿与科里·惠滕伯里于2009年8至9月开展了3组焦点小组访谈，30名参与者均来自墨累-达令流域（Murray-Darling Basin）的灌区与小型社区女性，她们围绕水资源减少带来的社会影响展开研讨。研究人员对访谈录音的转录文本进行分析后，为该全国论坛的研讨会议程制定提供了核心依据；该论坛吸引了澳大利亚各地逾100名女性参与。本数据集还包含论坛特邀嘉宾的6份PowerPoint演示文稿。此外，相关数据还为10场主题演讲提供了学术支撑，并被玛格丽特·奥尔斯顿用于其在宾夕法尼亚州立大学（Pennsylvania State University）举办的"整合发展与气候变化伦理"国际会议上的线上研讨会《性别与气候变化：澳大利亚粮仓——墨累-达令流域的危机》。
