Hi all,

I am a PhD candidate in sociology at the University of Newcastle and I’m inviting chockstoner’s to participate in interviews as a part of my research.

My research is concerned with looking at the way that climbers learn, maintain and make meaningful the variety of practices involved in being a part of the climbing community. This will be explored in my Doctoral dissersation Of Rock and Ice. My primary reseach is with Australian and North American climbing communities.

There are no real restrictions on criteria, as all levels of experience are relevant to the study.

I am hoping to conduct interviews in the Sydney area starting next week up until the end of October (Oct 17-29), with the possibility of spending a few weeks down in Victoria conducting interviews during mid-November.

If interested in participating, shoot me an email and I can give you more information at Matthew.Bunn@uon.edu.au

Cheers,
Matt
