Dr Gulliver researches the antecedents and consequences of environmental collective action. She uses an interdisciplinary approach to examine how climate change groups communicate with bystanders, supporters and third parties; how they mobilize supporters; how they build and sustain networks; and what their campaigns achieve. She is developing Australia’s largest database of environmental groups and campaigns alongside an associated ‘Campaign Explorer’ citizen science project. Outside of her research work Robyn is a multi-award winning environmentalist, writer and researcher who has served as an organiser and leader of numerous local and national environmental organisations.
