Researchers within the Humanities and Social Sciences discipline are commited to excellence and innovation within their areas of interest and aim to expand the knowledge base within the university and broaden individual understanding.

The HSS Research Group was formed in order to consolidate and coordinate the research efforts of individuals and small groups of academic staff and students working in the Humanities and Social Sciences. It was conceived as an umbrella for previous existing groups such as the CCCE (Centre for Contemporary Cultural Enquiry) and the ASC (Australian Studies Centre), but also to provide opportunities for collaboration and cooperation more widely, to set up a staff/student seminar series, and generally to raise awareness of, and provide opportunities to share, the considerable amount of otherwise randomly-recognized research work.
