 | Profile |  |
The SBS Faculty is concerned with people, and how they live, work and interact with their family, community and other individuals. The faculty develops knowledge and expertise through research in the core areas of social, economic, political and structural change; human behaviour and human nature; the social and human interface with technological change; human communication; and globalisation. The Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences at The University of Queensland is one of Australia's leading social and behavioural science groups.
It has high international visibility, and is unique in Australia because of the breadth of its coverage of the social and behavioural sciences. The constituent schools of Education, Journalism and Communication, Political Science and International Studies, Psychology, Social Science, and Social Work and Social Policy, embrace research ranging from cognitive neuroscience, to social policy, to language. This diversity allows the Faculty to have a range of multidisciplinary or highly focused research teams in centres of excellence to conduct basic and applied research on almost the entire field of social and behavioural sciences.
Research topics include:
- Prejudice and Discrimination, Disadvantage and Social Exclusion
- Ageing and Disability
- Literacies
- Special Education
- Public Policy
- Middle Schooling
- Peace and Conflict, International Relations
- Labour Relations
- Public and Social Policy Reform
- Diversity
- Sustainable Development
- Interpersonal and Mediated Communication
- Cognition and Neuropsychological Functioning
- Pedagogy
- Attitude-Behaviour Relations
- Crime and Delinquency
Many of these research teams have strong links with the health sciences, the biological sciences, computer science, and other faculties in the University. The faculty's pre-eminent emphasis on and commitment to cutting-edge internationally competitive research is primarily expressed through centres or foci of excellence that are framed by the Faculty's explicit research strengths and research priorities.
