Hi Annie
Thanks very much for all your information - I am trying to put together a unit on sustainability and community psychology in our undergraduate program in Behavioural Science. I am a community psychologist myself and am very keen to start a e-conversation with people who are interested in promoting sustainability as a policy framework for community capacity building. Any other contributions?
I am currently a Lecturer at the University of Notre Dame in Fremantle, Western Australia.
cheers
Diane
