The Institute for Social Change builds on the University of Tasmania’s national reputation for research by bringing together more than 200 affiliated researchers spanning the social sciences, humanities, business, law, creative arts, health and medicine, science and beyond.
The Institute for Social Change has launched a new research series called Institute Insights, focusing on social and economic change in Tasmania and beyond. The aim is to promote community discussion and policy debate.
With the Tasmanian economy in transition, our initial focus is on the changing nature of work in Tasmania; which industry sectors and regions are growing, who is being employed and on what basis. Understanding these complex dynamics is vital for government, business and the wider community.
The Institute is committed to delivering world class research on social change and to make a contribution to a more equitable, prosperous and sustainable society. Tasmania is the perfect site to study social change and develop and trial innovative responses.
No policy challenge is more acute in Tasmania than housing and our research aims to inform policy makers and the general public on the best way to achieve safe, secure and suitable housing for every person living in this state.
It has been a busy and productive period since the Institute for Social Change was established in April 2014 and we’re thrilled to be able to share some of our achievements and outline some of our plans for the future in our annual reports.
