Breastfeeding and Climate Change: Share Histories, Overlapping Vulnerabilities, and Pathways for Change
Sandra is a proud mom of two boys, a breastfeeding peer support volunteer, Masters student in Adult Education and Community Development, and non-profit sector professional. As a student at the University of Toronto, her research explored the historical and ongoing intersections between breastfeeding and climate change, presenting her research in the article “Breastfeeding and Climate Change: Overlapping Vulnerabilities and Integrating Responses” published in the Journal of Human Lactation in April 2020. The goal of her research is to urge health professionals, policy makers, and breastfeeding advocates everywhere to consider the systemic roots of breastfeeding subversion and work in solidarity with other anti-oppressive movements for common goals.
