Herpetological Community Research Project

[SocDoc]

Greetings,

I would like to invite you to find out more about my research project on the global herpetological community and to be a part of the research process by completing the websurvey at this website:http://www.deakin.edu.au/arts/herpetological

My name is Alexia Fry and I am undertaking this research for my PhD thesis in sociology through Deakin University in Australia. I am interested in finding out about how people get involved in their herpetological interests, how they get to know other people with herpetological interests and the ways that they get involved with the formal and informal social channels of the community (including internet use such as on this forum).

I anticipate that the results of this research will prove useful to people who have interests in displaying the great diversity of people involved in the herpetological community, all of whom invest much personal commitment to their herpetological interests.

I appreciate your time and look forward to sharing the results of the research with you.
regards
Alexia

Final weekend for survey

Hi Everyone

This is a follow up post to let you all know that the herper survey will be coming to a close at the beginning of Oct. This weekend is the last weekend it will be live and I invite you to check out the site and fill in the survey if you have been meaning to do so. http://www.deakin.edu.au/arts/herpetological

Thanks to all those who have made the survey project a great success with around 1500 respondents from around the world. The website will remain active and host updates on the research project, information on the different stages of ongoing research and host the resulting publications.

Tanja - the results will definitely be made public through the publications and I will post them here on this site when they roll out. Catch you in the interview
