Research Study
Mona joined the University of Gloucestershire in October 2009 as a PhD Student in Education for Sustainable Development & Well-Being. Mona is based at the Faculty of Sports, Health, & Social Care at the University, and also works closely with the University's International Research Institute in Sustainability (IRIS). Still in the first stages of her Thesis, the main focus of Mona's research will be on the perceptions and behaviors of the youth in relation to sustainable development from the perspective of health and well-being rather than the traditional focus on the physical environment.
