About Daniel Ooi
Daniel is a Research Fellow in the Institute for Sustainable Industries and Liveable Cities, and conducts quantitative and qualitative social research into community aspects of water, homelessness and employment.
He has been at Victoria University since 2011, undertaking research focusing on the social and behavioural dimensions of water users and water policy in Australia. He began as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Institute for Sustainability and Innovation (ISI), and then moved into the Psychology discipline group.
His main areas of research are:
- cultural cognition of perceived environmental risks
- relationship between environmental beliefs and environmentally-friendly behaviours
- social and cultural construction of values related to water.
Daniel is also interested in social inclusion and participatory democracy in urban planning (especially in relation to water and energy) in both Australia and developing countries. More recently, he has worked on research of young people at risk of homelessness in Australia. He also has a long-standing academic interest in anthropology and international development in Latin America.
He also teaches in the First Year College, coordinating units in community development and sociology.
