Her research “aims to provide case-based evidence contribution to discussions of sustainable rural livelihoods in Samoa’s development. This thesis examines the changes in village socio-economies since the first study, which was made in the late 1960’s and published in 1971 by Brian Lockwood who documented the socio-economic circumstances of four villages (Poutasi, Uafato, Utuali’i and Taga) and compared them.”
