Humanities Research Clusters
The Faculty has established nine research clusters to encourage and profile research and creative production in Humanities. The objectives of the clusters can be listed as follows:
- to build new expertise
- develop research across disciplinary boundaries,
- aspire to apply for research centre status,
- attracting external funds,
This is not an exhaustive list. Broadly clusters are established to take advantage of strategic opportunities and to build on institutional strengths.
A cluster is an association of academics with shared research interests. The cluster aims to be inclusive. If you are not already a member of cluster but wish to join one (or more) please contact the relevant director(s) /coordinator(s).
At the Humanities Faculty Forum of Monday 6 December 2010, the PVC announced the successful Faculty Research Cluster applications. These were:
- Collaborative Research in Art, Science and Humanity
- Creative Networks and Commons
- Creativity
- Critical Textual Studies
- Designing for the Occupation of Healthy Supportive Environments
- The Parklands Pavilion
- Place and Identity
- Specialist Studies in Education
- Talking across Cultures in the Asia-Pacific
The Dean has provided $10,000 to each cluster from the Humanities Strategic Research fund to support them during 2011.
