We are a group of academics who share a strong commitment to applied social research, policy analysis and advocacy.

About us

We teach into the Communications degree at UTS through the Social and Political Sciences (SPS) major and across a range of elective and core subjects, and we supervise research degrees at PhD level. Our teaching is informed by our work in a wide range of projects and partnerships. We are sociologists, historians, political scientists, political economists and anthropologists, with a common goal of using knowledge to understand and transform the social world.
