Leading research into changing contemporary societies and socially-inclusive communities
The Social Relationships & Communities Research Group (SRC) is a multidisciplinary research concentration focused on better understanding and responding to the opportunities and challenges facing rapidly changing contemporary societies. SRC researchers partner with community groups, government and non-government organisations to develop innovative solutions that enhance social participation, inclusive citizenship and wellbeing in diverse communities.
SRC brings together research and industry partners to create a dynamic interdisciplinary research program through creative new collaborations across the social sciences, humanities, law, education and health. Our research has generated new understandings and approaches to domestic, family and sexual violence, trauma, race-based discrimination and abuse, child abuse and children’s rights, parenting, stigma and social marginalisation experienced by people with mental health problems, discrimination and abuse experienced by people with disability, elder abuse and institutional abuse.
As a community-engaged, industry-oriented research group, we provide high level expertise and resources in this area that offer new insights and real-world solutions for prevention, the provision of support and education.
