Research focus

Focusing predominantly on the fields of Creative Arts and Writing (ANZSRC 36) and Language, Communication and Culture (ANZSCR 47), our dynamic research agenda encompasses:

• Media industry research including the creation, dissemination and impact of creative works, objects and actions
• The sociological, economic, political, ethical and philosophical impacts and implications of creative ecologies and economies, and
• Creative practice itself.

Disciplinary expertise connects with interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research in Health, Law, Science and Education using traditional and creative practice research methods in its methodological understanding and interrogation of the 21st Century episteme. Research goals include:

• Exploring the cultural, social and economic significance of creative practice and creative industries, informing policy at a national level
• Prioritising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge and practice through appropriate and considered consultation
• Building capacity in regional Australia through creative practice research
• Diversifying the impact of creative practice through interdisciplinarity, and
• Innovating industry though internationally recognised project outcomes.
