Celebrating our talented educators, researchers, students, staff and alumni.
Our researchers and scholarships are tackling critical social, business and economic issues spanning domestic and family violence, the gender gap, social science and beyond
Professor's groundbreaking social science research honour
Professor Erte Xiao's pioneering research into the impact of incentives and social norms on economic behaviour has been recognised by the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia (ASSA).
Making domestic and family violence everyone’s business
One of Australia’s leading voices against gendered violence, Professor Kate Fitz-Gibbon, has dedicated her career to understanding and combating the devastating impact of gendered violence.
New scholarship tackles finance gender gap
When it comes to gender equality in the financial sector, the numbers simply don’t add up. We've responded with a targeted initiative to make finance and economics more accessible to women.
Our students are making a real-world impact
Rising star's reward for embracing every opportunity
Oshani Paranagama's quest to find her niche took her on impactful adventures across the globe, with her conviction and persistance earning her the prestigious Tony Palmer Award for Marketing.
Uncovering the hidden bias in disaster relief
PhD candidate Lihini de Silva's research into Australia's Black Summer bushfires dispels the notion that the most vulnerable communities would receive the most financial support.

Our professional staff continue to demonstrate outstanding excellence
Leading change and driving research excellence
Ensuring our world-class research rolls out smoothly takes strategy, coordination, and vision at all levels of the organisation – and that’s where Helen Matich comes in.
As Research Services Senior Manager, she has fostered collaboration with the establishment of our Pacific Action for Climate Transitions (PACT) collaboration and Impact Labs, and been a key player in the transformation of Monash Business School’s PhD program to compete with the world’s best. Her contribution to that year-long project was recognised with a 2024 Vice-Chancellor Excellence Award.
Our alumnae are working to change the corporate landscape
'I’m always looking to upskill and develop myself'
Laura Parr traded a career in superannuation for the high-octane tech sector. Now – with the help of a Monash MBA – she works as Senior Strategy and Insights Manager at tech giant Google.
When Ms Parr isn’t shaping strategy at Google, she channels her energy into one of the world’s most urgent causes. As a trustee for The Nature Conservancy, she wears multiple hats - fundraiser, ambassador, adviser, and advocate - all with one mission: to protect the planet.
