PhD Topic

I will be researching the “WWOOF’ing” phenomenon in Eastern Australia (Willing Workers on Organic Farms).My main interest is whether or not the experience inspires participants to change their environmentally-related behaviours and ‘social representations’.I also aim to assess the degree to which it contributes to the viability of organic farming enterprises in Australia.

Funding

• I have received a JCU Research Scholarship for international students
