Societies Research Area

The Societies research area within the ARU Centre for Societies and Groups (ARU-CSG) is an interdisciplinary group that leads research and debate on community change, public policy, and psychological well-being in societal contexts.

Topics currently being researched by members of the group include gendered issues in advertising, determinants of food choice, victimisation and injustice, driving behaviour, and the development of resilience.

Our work illuminates and challenges social behaviour to benefit local, national, and international communities, and influences public policy.
