Research in the Faculty of Arts and Education

Deakin University's mission is to have a vibrant culture of research and scholarship with a critical mass of researchers associated with each major discipline; and to foster internationally competitive research groups in areas of strategic importance.

The Faculty of Arts and Education particularly promotes pure and applied research in the humanities, the social sciences, the performing and creative arts and education.

Several staff members are internationally renowned for their research and are also key players in national and international associations and editorial boards. Most staff are active researchers with strong experience in doctoral research supervision.

The Faculty's track record in Australian Research Council research grant awards and other nationally competitive research grants and tenders is amongst the best in Australian Faculties of Education. This research helps underpin a vibrant consultancy and professional development culture amongst the staff who contribute to a wide range of community, national and international bodies and institutions.

The higher degree by research program is offered through both on-campus and off-campus study, which may be either full-time or part-time. Scholarships are available, including full-time Australian Postgraduate Awards and Deakin University Postgraduate Awards for Australian and New Zealand citizens; and an International Postgraduate Research Scholarship for international applicants.

Centres

In addition to the research conducted within the Faculty, both of which include key researchers with national and international research reputations, the Faculty has two major research concentrations:

1. Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation (ICG),
   conducts research into notions of citizenship and globalisation and their relevance to the areas of human rights, cultural identity and heritage and the governance and social responsibility of corporations.
    
   • Centre for Citizenship and Human Rights (CCHR)
   • Corporate Citizenship Research Unit (CCRU)
   • Cultural Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific (CHCAP)
2. Educational Futures and Innovation (EFI),
   conducts internationally significant research that will enable educators of today to 'future proof' Australia's children for the changing, uncertain and risky world of tomorrow.
