Thesis Title
Visual techniques in facilitating learning and communication in environmental management.
Research Description
This research will explore various visual techniques and their effectiveness in supporting the facilitation of collaborative learning, communication, and thereby action - in environmental management. The overall approach to be taken is action research, but the study will also draw from theoretical perspectives of participatory research (e.g. participatory rural appraisal and adaptive management), community development, communication science, visual sociology and visual anthropology.
Field work will be primarily conducted at field sites in Vietnam and Northern Australia. The field work will involve facilitation of learning and communication processes (using visual techniques) with indigenous people and project staff in protected areas. The potential of visual products from these processes to feed up to policy and decision making levels will also be explored. Methods used will include a combination of in-depth interviews and focus group workshops. The visual techniques will include low budget video, photography and diagramming/mapping.
