Rosemary Black

I am a Senior Lecturer and Associate Head of School in the School of Environmental Sciences at Charles Sturt University.

I joined the University in 1995 and had previously worked in a number of positions both in the public and private sectors, in the outdoor recreation, conservation and ecotourism fields. I worked for the National Trust as a Conservation Officer, a Parks Recreation Officer for St Kilda Council, a Ranger for the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and then an Ecotour Guide for World Expeditions.

Since joining the University I have developed, taught and been involved in a wide variety of subjects. My primary responsibilities are for Interpretive Planning, Philosophy of Outdoor Education, and outdoor recreation and ecotoursim planning and design. However, I have also been involved in delivering Recreation Leadership, Natural Resource Planning, Interpretive Guiding, Outdoor Recreation Management, Landscape Processes and Principles of Ecotourism.

In 1998 I was the winner of the School of Environmental and Information Sciences and Faculty of Agriculture and Science Teaching Excellence Awards.
