\"\"<\/p>\n

As a social researcher, I investigate the barriers to collaborative research in regional Australia between landholders, government agents, researchers and their institutions.<\/p>\n

Collaboration really is vital for natural resource management in Australia, as we don’t have all the skills and expertise in one place, in one organization, or in one agency.<\/p>\n

I am part of an ILWS team that is investigating how to improve this collaboration between people to address the incredibly complex environmental problems facing Australia.<\/p>\n

We’re looking at how and how well people work together \u2013 and if they don\u2019t work together, why not.<\/p>\n

We’re working at the grassroots: we’re looking at people, we’re looking at organizations, and we’re looking at community groups, and what helps them collaborate, particularly in regional Australia.<\/p>\n

What have we found so far? Have a look at my presentation on YouTube<\/a> to find out more. Presented on 9 September 2020, this was part of 2020 National Social Science Week #nssw2020 organised @ilwscsu @CharlesSturtUni<\/p>\n
