The Centre for Research on Social Inclusion is an interdisciplinary group of researchers from disciplines such as Anthropology, Sociology, Philosophy, Cultural Studies, Business and Economics, Education and Human Geography. We also include members from across the university from areas such as demography and even finance.
We undertake social, cultural and philosophical research into contemporary social justice issues. Broadly defined, this includes research into the social, cultural, economic, and political determinations of inclusion and exclusion, particularly in the context of globalisation. Issues such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, age, place, and globalisation are explored from a variety of disciplinary and methodological perspectives. Within the broad rubric of social and cultural inclusion, we currently cover the following areas of special research strength:
■Development and Community Capacity Building
■Critical Theory
■Environmental and Social Justice
■Inclusion and Exclusion in Urban and Regional Spaces
■Migration, Multiculturalism and Nation
■Religion and Social Inclusion
■Welfare, Care and Social Policy
■Animals and Society
