UTS Shopfront has developed a range of research-based activities that have flowed on from its core work. Some of these address the needs, concerns or questions raised by its community partners. Others relate to the emerging and vital field of community engagement.
The Shopfront will continue to develop its research activities to address needs, concerns or questions that are raised by its community partners. The Shopfront also underpins and supports emerging UTS researchers with a commitment to community engagement.
Our approach to research is to develop creative solutions to the complex issues facing communities as with all Shopfront work, priorities are identified by the community with needs and priorities defined in dialogue. The offers opportunities for full community participation within a framework of social justice which is central to the Shopfront's mission and practice.
