WELCOME TO STORIES OF COUNTRY WOMEN

This is the website of the projects led by Dr Sarah Casey.  To date, there have been four projects centring on rural women's stories, income diversification strategies, advocacy, and coping with changing climate conditions. 

 

Sarah has brought together teams of researchers to work with government/industry partners to bring these projects to life. The reason she started these projects was personal; she had long imagined bringing to life stories of diverse rural women, given her background and history as an 'insider-outsider'. 

 

Dr Gail Crimmins was invited onto the first of the projects Sarah initiated when Sarah began at University of the Sunshine Coast in 2018. And she's remained on each as an investigator, as the projects have developed and grown.

 

Read more about Sarah and Gail on the "Who are we?" page, and about the various teams on each  project page. 

 

Sarah researches in other spaces, too, and will share some of that work here, too. 

 

Welcome!
