Researcher biography

Dona has been teaching within the University of Queensland since 2001. With experience in business and the public sector, and research and teaching into corporate sustainability, Dona brings a practical and theoretical understanding of how firms respond to change and the role of regulatory and non-regulatory mechanisms within the Environmental Management Program. Experience with the Vietnam summer school course, has developed an interest in how these factors play out in differing cultural and political contexts.
