Holly, originally from Austin, Texas but now living in Newfoundland is hoping that readers of the e-newsletter may be able to help her research for her doctoral thesis. Her thesis explores the ways in which individuals experience food as part of travel in Atlantic Canada.

Holly has a short survey that anyone who has visited any of Canada's Atlantic provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador) can complete. There's also a web page that people can have a look at to find out more about her project, if they wish or, you can email Holly with any questions. To contact Holly for preliminary questions, and returning any completed surveys, is drpepper@warp.nfld.net

Interview topics may include: 1) food choices at home and while travelling; 2) lifestyle considerations influencing food preferences; 3) extent of travel experience; 4) and expectations of travel. The data obtained from interviews and observation will form the basis of the thesis, and may also be used in published articles and/or book chapters, class lectures and public presentations. Anonymity will be maintained for any participants who wish it.
