Our mission will be achieved by pursuing three aims:
- Aim 1: Advance new knowledge and learning

- Aim 3: Build a strong research institution
Our Research Hubs
> Sex, Health and Society (SHS) Hub
Our hub goes further to examine the interplay between social psychological theoretical perspectives and social issues. Much of our research examines the self and social identity; particularly from the perspective of members of socially marginalised groups. SHS Hub conducts cutting edge research across a variety of topics in social, environmental and organisational areas.

Our hub explores a wide range of issues including climate change, energy, transport, water, resource use, land use, conservation, cities and communities, business and lifestyles. We go further to apply the behavioural sciences to benefit people and society, bringing an understanding of psychological concepts to support positive behaviour change for individuals, groups and organisations. Making a positive difference. Every day. Sustainability is at the core of everything we do.
