The role of community music in addressing social inequalities in Australia

该项目旨在调查社区音乐在解决澳大利亚社会不平等问题中的作用。该研究预计将绘制和分析社区音乐促进的一系列社会成果，并调查这些成果如何丰富当前以地方为基础的解决社会劣势的努力。通过国家部门绘图、社区案例研究和创新的分析框架，预期成果包括新的跨学科知识、音乐和社会部门发展，以及在解决不平等问题的地方政策中更大的创造力。这将为存在社会不平等的澳大利亚社区带来巨大利益，利用他们的创造性资产推动积极的社会变革。

This project aims to investigate the role community music can play in addressing social inequalities in Australia. The research expects to map and analyse a range of social outcomes fostered by community music, and investigate how these outcomes can enrich current place-based efforts to address social disadvantage. Through national sector mapping, community case studies, and an innovative analytic framework, expected outcomes include new interdisciplinary knowledge, music and social sector development, and greater creativity in place-based policies tackling inequalities. This should provide significant benefits for Australian communities where social inequalities exist, by harnessing their creative assets to drive positive social change.
