Property rights are increasingly important in resource management, for titleholders and for the long-term viability of ecological resources.

Understanding the history and future of property systems across social-ecological landscapes is fragmented across disciplines, including natural sciences, social sciences and humanities. The interdisciplinary network on property rights in resource management will draw together researchers, building new synergies, novel research agendas and solutions for end users including property owners, resource managers, policy makers, planners and valuers.Read moreRead less

This is a stock-taking initiative to examine the strength and limitations of Australian-based research on Islam and Muslim Societies. It will survey current research activity across social science disciplines and explore its contribution to our understanding of issues and challenges that are often attributed to Islam and Muslims. The compiled research profile will also test the degree to which current research on Islam and aspects of Muslim lives has informed the policy-making process in the 'war on terror'. This initiative brings together researchers from 11 Australian universities and will culminate in a final report, also forming the basis of a full Network application.Read moreRead less
