RESEARCH & POSTGRADUATE STUDY

The Faculty of Arts has evolved into a major centre of research and postgraduate study. Research and postgraduate excellence is reflected in successes in national competitive research grant applications (more than $4million between 1998-99), high quality publications and growing enrolments and completions in postgraduate degrees. The Faculty is internationally regarded for its excellence in Australasian, Southeast Asian and Post-colonial studies. Faculty members collaborate with international and national research bodies and belong to the editorial boards of leading national and international journals.

Faculty research is organised by the Associate Dean Graduate Studies and Research, the Faculty Research Committee, the Board of the Institute of Social Change and Critical Inquiry (ISCCI) and Postgraduate Coordinators in Academic Programs. Administrative support is provided by the Postgraduate Support Officer and the Institute's Administrative Officer.

All postgraduate applications must be approved by the Associate Dean Graduate Studies and Research.

CURRENT RESEARCH AREAS
The Faculty's principal research strengths are reflected in the research programs of The Institute of Social Change and Critical Inquiry (ISCCI).

Most of the leading researchers in the Faculty belong to the Institute's interdisciplinary research programs, its affiliated centre The Canadian Australian Studies Centre, or to the Centre for Asia Pacific Transformation Studies (CAPSTRANS). Other researchers work independently within academic programs. More information on individuals' research areas can be found on the web-pages of academic programs.
