Society and Culture

Society and Culture

Climate chaos, democratic breakdown, a succession of once-in-a-generation shocks – for young people, the future has never looked more uncertain or more unjust than it does today. Yet in the face of these challenges, inequality is excluding far too many original thinkers from the pool of talent it will take to build us all a better tomorrow.

Your support for our Society and Culture funding opportunities will counter injustice, promote inclusivity, and drive the kind of innovative programs and critical thinking it will take to prevent society from repeating the mistakes of the past.

Impact story

RMIT research sheds light on hidden and harmful crime

It’s a shapeshifting, increasingly prevalent crime that spans international borders, is hard to police and has often been dismissed as trivial or, worse, blamed on its victims.
