Working across our University we facilitate social justice research, projects and partnerships that help us to pursue and promote a fairer society.

Social justice is the collective action of creating a fair and equal society.

Our approach to social justice is through developing co-productive research to produce social impact and positive change. We do so by working with people, partners and communities in a manner that sees participation and community engagement as vital parts of our mission.

Through this work we hope to help address some of the inequalities, injustices and challenges facing society today.
