Understandascope™ website is a multi-interest open forum hosted by

The open
door policy of the Understandascope reflects the broad range of interests and
activities of its founder, Associate Professor Frank Fisher. Frank has worked with a wide range of
communities to show that looking after environment means looking after
physical, mental and social well-being. Through writing, projects and
campaigns, he has consistently shown that everyone is capable of transforming
their social and mental contexts, to be Response
Able for their relationship with environment (from the title of Frank’s new
book, to purchase click here).
The Understandascope site is moderated informally and modestly by its staff
members. Frank, for example,
participates on an equal footing with other contributors. All participants are considered peers at the
Understandascope. As such, the
Understandascope does not attempt to filter or edit contributions, nor attempt
to dictate the direction discussions should take. The topics of discussion, and
the extent to which they are pursued within the site, are entirely up to the
participants involved.
The
Understandascope functions as place for people with common interests and
concerns to meet and talk – a place in which we can help each other to learn
and grow.
