Can social sciences, humanities and the arts play a major role in creating community-led policy?
Can we empower communities to help them imagine a better climate future?
Researchers in the Faculty of Arts, Humanities, and Business are actively engaged with stakeholders outside the University context, to contribute to meaningful and tangible benefits for people, the environment, and communities.
We also work with colleagues across health, marine and sustainability through projects driven by the University's Strategic Research Institutes.
