Research About Community Gardens
---This project is now completed---
Hello, my name is Marialena Dimou, and I am a fourth year student at the University of Toronto. I am conducting research about community gardens in Toronto. The focus of my project is to determine if there is a parallel or coalescence of social norms and environmental ethics in community gardens' groups. For example, does the social norm of reciprocity within a group converge with an environmental ethic of reciprocity within nature? How the relationship between social norms and environmental ethics express itself?
I'm looking for present or past members/volunteers of community gardens to participate in my research. I need a minimum of 10 people to interview, and a minimum of 30 people to survey in mid-late January. The interviews would be 30 minutes-one hour, and can be done over the phone. The surveys would be 10-15 minutes (20 minutes max), and would be via email.
Would you be able to participate in my research?
...Do you know of anyone else who might be interested?
