An Appraisal-based analysis of staff perceptions of recycling in an Australian regional university

Abstract

This paper utilises Appraisal Theory to critically
analyse staff perceptions, aspirations, expectations and practices
of recycling in an Australian regional university. The analysis
focuses attention on the lexico-grammatical resources that
participants used to manage interpersonal meaning in semistructured
interviews. The analysis is framed within the context
of Education for Sustainability in the Higher Education sector.
