We have just learned that we have been successful in being awarded a Sturt Scheme funding. Here is the title and summary of our project:
Education Research Acceleration Program
The Education Research Acceleration (ERA) Program presents a
transformative educational research program. This program builds on the
existing strength of education research at the University.
Here are the other successful Sturt Scheme applications.
- Contemporary Threats to Australian Society (CTAS) The group will consider Contemporary Right-Wing Extremism in Australia – seen as the most significant terrorist threat to Australia’s domestic security yet largely ignored by Australia’s terrorism researchers; and Trade-Based Money Laundering (TBML) – TBML is the largest and most pervasive money laundering methodology in the world and a significant, but entirely under-researched threat to Australia’s economic security.
- Policy & Security Science (PaSS) PaSS will provide a new and contemporary focus in Policing and Security Science research at Charles Sturt University (Charles Sturt) through the delivery of cutting edge multi-disciplinary research in police wellness & welfare and health security.
- Regional Work and Organisational ResilienceRegional Work and Organisational Resilience research group will focus on the physical, mental, and emotional health and wellbeing of the workforce (with a particular focus in regional areas), and its effective management to increase organisational resilience for societal good.
- Future of the Professions Research Group What are professional obligations? How do these change over time? There is a foundational debate in applied ethics on the nature of professional obligation. In what ways can community engagement and curriculum co-creation enhance education for the professions? Through partnerships with industry, priority community issues can be explored and strategies developed to enhance professionals’ capacity to respond to urgent challenges spelled out in the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
- Ageing Well in Rural and Regional Australia This new research group formalises the activity of the Ageing Well Research Group into a cohesive network that brings a regional focus to communities and partnerships that address the broader social and cultural determinants of health outcomes that are person-centred rather than disease specific. In executing our research, the vision is to shape the ageing agenda through collaboration with older adults and their caregivers, health professionals, service providers, and policy makers to jointly find solutions, strategies and pathways towards healthy ageing in regional and rural communities
