Research Provocations

Research Provocations brings together a public lecture series that celebrates our research, and a multidisciplinary academic blog to address the grand challenges confronting regional Australia and the world.

This lecture series aims to challenge orthodoxy through new thinking but will also revive policy ideas and political thought from the past for one more encore.
