A Call for Research Participants on “Plastic Waste and Women’s Household Practices in Asia and Australia”
You are invited to participate in interviews related to household plastic waste.
What is the project about?
This project, funded by the Singapore Government Ministry of Education Academic Research Fund Tier 2, aims to identify and understand the dynamics associated with the consumption and disposal of plastics in Singapore, Australia and Japan to complement the national and global aspirations and ongoing efforts to realise a circular economy. This project will address the following research questions:
- What are the role of gender and other intersecting factors in influencing household plastic waste management practices?
- How have women engaged with household waste and plastics historically?
- How do localized and transnational social media discourses shape people’s practices at the household level?
Who is invited to participate? What will be asked?
You will be invited to participate in an online or a face-to-face interview. The interview will take about 30 minutes to one hour. You are welcome to participate in one or all three interviews.
