Institute for Social Transformation Research (ISTR)
The Institute for Social Transformation Research is dedicated to expanding our capacity to understand and engage with our rapidly changing social, cultural and geo‐political environment. ISTR aims to build Australia's capacity to understand and engage with globalising forces that are increasingly technologically mediated, but that continue to be configured by spatial, economic and temporal constraints. Research conducted by ISTR members is therefore cross‐disciplinary, practical and project based, involving collaboration across geographical locations, and drawing from disciplines such as politics, sociology, philosophy, cultural studies, literary studies, language and linguistics, creative arts, geography, media studies, history, anthropology, economics and law. ISTR projects are at the cutting edge of creative and community‐engaged research in the humanities, creative arts and social sciences, and have a shared focus on understanding the impact of globalisation on the pace of social and cultural transformation in our region and across the globe.
The Three Broad Themes for 2012 are:
1. Social Thought and Action
2. Creative Practice and Cultural Innovation
3. Regional Change and Transformation
