Our projects

Planning Document

The School of Social Sciences at UNSW Arts, Design & Architecture is dedicated to conducting research that carries real-world impact.

Our skilled team of researchers are working on uncovering and finding solutions for the challenges facing society today – and those waiting in the future.

Collaboration is the key to our success. Our project teams often include experts from interdisciplinary research areas both within ±«±·³§°ÂÌýand from other universities. By sharing our knowledge and working together, we are moving closer to our shared goals of improving society.
