Nikolas Rose in Powers of Freedom (1999) writes that “community emerged as a rather unexpected theme in debates about the governability of liberal, democratic and market-based societies in the closing decades of the end of the twentieth century.” Community, as a site of analysis, of intervention, and of resistance, is what this research theme seeks to interrogate. The Community Theme is open to quantitative and qualitative investigations, as well as theoretical discussions of the emergence of community for public policy.
Issues of community are also a component of State, National and International research agendas and priorities. The Community Research Theme examines the relationships between education, community and sustainability (economic, social, cultural and environmental). In particular, this co-operative examines ways in which partnerships between schools, communities and universities can contribute to positive economic, social and community outcomes.
