The Centre for Cultural Resarch (CCR) is an internationally recognised research centre within the College of Arts at the University of Western Sydney, Australia.
CCR aims to address the cultural challenges and contradictions of a 21st century world that is increasingly globalised, diverse and technologically mediated. A key to its research mission is collaboration - researching with communities and organisations, focusing on problem solving, and generating new knowledge in context.
Cultural research is a relatively new academic field, formed out of the connections between Cultural Studies and the disciplines of Anthropology, Geography, History and Sociology. It is also in fruitful dialogue with related fields, including Asian Studies, Education, Media and Communications, and Philosophy.
CCR researchers have initiated and undertaken over 50 research projects during the last three years, many of them funded by highly competitive grants from the Australian Research Council. CCR regularly hosts visiting international scholars attracted by its innovative, dynamic research program. It is also deeply committed to, and successful in, research training, both through conventional thesis-based Masters and Doctorates, and through professional Doctor of Cultural Research and Doctor of Creative Arts degrees.
CCR is a member of the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes administered from Duke University, USA and the Council for the Humanties, Arts and Social Sciences (CHASS) based in Canberra. It currently has links with related centres and institutes in the field of cultural research in Asia, Europe and North America, and is expanding its range of research connections around the world.
