TRANSFORMING SOCIETIES
Transforming societies through global citizenship
Societies are in constant flux. Research in ‘Transforming Societies’ examines and evaluates changes in the world and how it impacts our lives as individuals, families, organisations, and communities. The outcomes of the research challenge current thinking. They will guide and inform decision making to approach transformation for the benefit of all, especially the most vulnerable who can be further marginalised in a changing world. Our interdisciplinary research is focussed on the following key questions: How is society being transformed? What transforms society? How can we transform society to benefit individuals and communities? How can we transform society to promote and support equity and inclusivity?
