Geography at NUI Galway is delighted to welcome Dr Aurianne Stroude to the Discipline. Funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, Dr Stroude will be working with Professor Frances Fahy on an 18 month research project focusing on sustainable practices with a view to understanding how they contribute to transforming the relation to the world of the people performing them. According to Aurianne ‘my idea is to analyse the different elements of specific social practices (food consumption, mobility and zero waste living) and to analyse their effects on the way people experience the world (passive relation) and the way they appropriate it or assimilate it (active relation)’. Welcome to Geography at NUI Galway Aurianne!
