As an Australian Ambassador, it is a privilege to warmly welcome you to the Regional Studies Association (RSA) and to invite you to join a lively network of regional studies colleagues across the globe bringing many associated benefits and opportunities. My focus will be on the promotion and development of RSA activities in Australia, particularly in Western Australia. Currently my research investigates the social consequences of regional land use and climate change (farm amalgamation, plantation forestry and environmental conservation), regional service inequalities and the impact of mining boom and bust cycles on associated communities.
Please contact me if you are seeking information or collaboration opportunities in regional studies.
