permaculture

["Bellows,Wendi Lynn" <bellows@UFL.EDU>]

A big thank you to all who have already participated! To date, only 40 people 
have filled out the survey. It would be great for at least 100 folks who are 
currently active in the US permaculture community to participate. The survey 
is only one part of a larger research project on the processes of social 
change within the permaculture movement. In layman's terms, I am essentially 
asking, why do people gravitate toward permaculture? What makes people active 
in the permaculture community tick? How are people's values relative to how 
people practice permaculture on the ground? How has permaculture as a social 
movement evolved?  In addition to the survey, this year, I will also take 
videos and observe at events that permies like to gather together like PDC's  
and convergences. I am planning to analyze data and write up results for 
publication in academic journals by the end of summer. If you are still 
interested in participating in this original research about people in 
permaculture, the survey will still be active for a few more weeks. Please 
forward this message to others who you may think will be interested!

Subject: Permaculture Values, Practices and Social Change Survey

Dear fellow permaculture people,

I am a PhD student in the Interdisciplinary Ecology Program at the University 
of Florida. I am conducting research for my doctoral dissertation about 
Permaculture and social change. Please take a few minutes (15 or so) to 
participate in this study by taking an online survey.  The survey mainly 
focuses on people's value systems and how they relate to how people practice 
Permaculture on the ground. I would love to hear your voice represented!

If you are interested in participating, you may access the survey online at:
