Philippa Chandler

Philippa Chandler is Research Fellow at the Melbourne School of Design.

Philippa is interested in the relationships between people and places, and how communities create a sense of identity in relation to their surroundings. Philippa's PhD explored place-attachment, community and environmental conflict among return visitors to the Ningaloo Reef region of Western Australia.

She is currently investigating how schools can double-up as community hubs, as part of the ARC Linkage Building Connections: Schools as Community Hubs.
