Research Programs

Transforming Cultures organises its research projects around six overlapping spheres of research. Much of the work involves academic partners from other universities and, crucially, partners from industry, government and the community. We welcome ideas and approaches from potential partners. If you wish to develop a new project in one of the following areas please contact us.
