Qualitative Project Themes
The qualitative research programme
focuses on ‘The Environment, Risk and Civil Society’, addressing the
questions:
1.
What kinds of discourses about the environment do different groups
generate?
2.
From what sorts of social, organisational or cultural contexts do
individuals articulate different environmental discourses?
3.
How do individuals become concerned and active regarding environmental
issues?
Two interlinked qualitative research projects are planned. These are:
q Environmental Discourses Articulated by the Public
q
A Study of the Making of Environmental Activists
