Our research
Monash GPS’s research is conducted through a feminist and interdisciplinary lens. We address current and emerging peace and security challenges that threaten the safety and wellbeing of our global community. This includes concerns regarding conflict and political violence, the challenges of building sustainable peace, and the crises and opportunities created by our relationships with the natural environment and technology. Recognising that the intersecting challenges to peace and security are dynamic, the Centre’s research falls under three pillars that will adapt to changing contexts in a complex globalised world: People, Place and Technology.
Our research goals
- Engage in mission-oriented research that is ambitious, innovative and oriented to current and emerging global challenges
- Advance impactful research that meaningfully and positively shapes global peace and security thinking, policy, practice and governance
- Create and support multidisciplinary research teams to address global peace and security challenges within and beyond Monash campuses
- Promote responsible research that adheres to the principles of equity, diversity, inclusion and do no harm to ensure ethical and effective outcomes
