The Federal Government's Family Law Pathways Advisory Group recommended that a national research agenda be developed for family law and social policy that focuses on the separation and divorce transition. For many families Commonwealth private family law and the public law of child protection and domestic violence, provides the setting in which this transition takes place. The proposed multidisciplinary network brings together researchers, policy makers and service providers in this area. Benefits include research better targeted to the needs of end-users, a stronger evidence base for complex practice, decreased fragmentation of research effort, and a base for research training.Read moreRead less

Despite western emphasis on individuals, we live our lives largely in, and through, institutions. Institutions and their governance are generally part of our most pressing problems (including those relating to national research priorities): institutions are almost invariably a key part of the solution.
This project builds on two ARC centres (CAPPE, KCELJAG) established following our last SRI networking grant (?Applied Ethics and Legal Theory?). It will establish a globally significant interdisciplinary governance group (including the world's largest applied ethics grouping) that will be a major player in emerging networks and to contribute to governance reform in Australia and its region.Read moreRead less
