Architecture and built environment research

In partnership with St. Vincent's Hospital, this site acts as a conduit between researchers and participants to collect and present data addressing the project's three key research questions: 1. What is ‘good palliative care’ from the perspective of the patient, carer/family member and staff – and what changes should be made? 2. How might arts-based research and participant generated produced visual images inform hospital palliative service improvements? 3. How might arts-based research and participant generated produced visual images engage staff and transform the palliative care experience?

The Digital Observatory helps researchers work with dynamic digital data.

CARE Research Lab - highlights the research work being conducted by Honours, Masters and Doctoral students and staff in the area of relationship science in the School of Psychology and Counselling. CARE seeks to promote relationship science and contribute to understanding the factors that promote happy, healthy coupling. Staff and students at the CARE research laboratory utilise developmental and social psychological theories such as adult attachment, communication, attributions, self-regulation, distribution of mental labour, and stress and coping. While adult intimate relationships are central to many CARE researchers, we also research other types of close relationships, such as parent-child connections or sibships. The research methods employed by CARE researchers include contemporary quantitative approaches, qualitative interview methods and experimental designs. Our research aims to contribute to the theoretical understanding of relationship science, but it also seeks to contribute positively to practice. Many of our researchers are both academics and registered psychologists who recognise the importance of adopting an evidence-base approach to their practice. CARE is intended to be a collaborative research space and we welcome contact from potential contributors, and seek to share the results of our research with other organisations and the wider community.

Social licence to operate: Understanding the evolving stakeholder landscape of contemporary and future mining. Our research examines the dynamic social licence to operate (SLO) stakeholder environment within which the mining industry operates and within which diverse actors seek to shape mining activity. This website is intended as an information hub, housing academic and public research outputs as the project evolves.

YDC is dedicated to enhancing the learning of all students to improve their opportunities for further education, training and employment, and to equip them for lifelong learning.

This Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Grant (LP180100477) explores the impact of arts engagement in communities in regional Australia with specific focus on education, health and economic outcomes. The project will work with communities in central/western Queensland and north-west Tasmania.
