Title
Freedom of the hills: An exploration of the nature of freedom as it is experienced in outdoor environments
This research explores the subtleties of freedom and the drives of people to experience freedom in the outdoors. Recollections of freedom were gathered from people who have a professional involvement in the outdoors as writers, photographers, professional adventurers, instructors and teachers, and stories of mountaineering from the New Zealand Alpine Club Journal were read to gather background material on the culture of mountaineering and how the meaning of ‘freedom of the hills’ has been constructed. The research is based on Peile’s ecological paradigm which has five main themes: holism; complexity; participatory involvement; being; and creativity. These themes underpin the ontological and epistemological foundations of the research and also provide the framework for describing the experiences of freedom.
