About the Hawke Research Institute

  The Hawke Institute was established in 1997 to undertake public policy research for the newly established Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre. In 2004, the Hawke Research Institute expanded by combining with seven other UniSA research groups and centres.

The major research focus of the institute is to investigate ways of preserving social equality and strengthening societies in the face of major economic, environmental and technological change. Researchers within the institute have expertise spanning social policy, education and literacy, equity in higher education, gender and equity, identity, ethics, postcolonial studies, work and life, integrity and governance, reconciliation, religious diversity and cooperation, and conflict management. They collaborate with government agencies, nongovernment organisations, community groups and businesses. They also have strong links with researchers of like mind nationally and internationally.
