Welcome to the research portfolio of the Arts, Education and Law Group at Griffith University.

The Arts, Education and Law Group is the largest of Griffith University’s Academic Groups and encompasses five schools, and our creative arts schools, the Queensland College of Art (including the Griffith Film School) and the Queensland Conservatorium of Music.

Over 350 academic staff and a large and active cohort of Higher Degree Research students are working on a wide variety of research projects through these schools and through five focused research centres who provide dedicated support and a focus for research activity, including Griffith University’s only Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence – the ARC Centre of Excellence in Policing and Security. The Group also hosts the Griffith Social and Behavioural Research College on behalf of
all humanities, social and behavioural science researchers and provides a central point for research training and collaboration across centres in these disciplines.

The disciplinary communities of practice through which researchers across the Group engage is both complex and diverse. That complexity and diversity is expressed in all important dimensions of the research enterprise: in the resourcing of research commitments, in the sites of research engagement, in the research questions that are asked, in the research approaches and methodologies used in generating new knowledge, in the form of the research outputs, in the measures of research quality and in the way in which research knowledge is communicated, reviewed, and used to inform human knowledge and engagements.

As Dean of Research for this fascinating and exciting grouping of arts, education and law research, I invite you to discover more about our people and projects.
