Our research projects

In the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, we support world-leading areas of research and invest in new areas of research to uncover new knowledge, deliver real-world impact and improve our teaching, curriculum and student experience. Our research spans studies in creative and performing arts, history, archaeology and geography, Indigenous studies as well as language, literature, culture and society.
