Welcome to the Centre for Communication & Social Change's newsletter.

This month we say goodbye and good luck to our Centre Facilitator Christine Leonard as she begins a new job at the Pacific Malaria Initiative. We also welcome a new group of PhD students.

Catch up on all the latest from the CfCSC including a recent collaboration on a Rural Livestock Management project in East Timor.

Read about CSC Masters student, Ali Rae's recent trip to Papua New Guinea to document local agricultural knowledge systems.

This month's Shout Out! investigates the Asylum Seeker debate and Participatory Video as students discuss social change issues affecting our readers everyday.

As always we appreciate all feedback about the newsletter and input on what you'd like to see in the future. Please contact the Centre's Communication Officer, Rhian Deutrom, with your thoughts.
