The role of community music in addressing social inequalities in Australia

本项目旨在探讨社区音乐在解决澳大利亚社会不平等问题中所扮演的角色。该研究希望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能够丰富当前基于地点的努力，以解决社会劣势。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方面发挥更大的创造力。通过利用他们的创造性资产来推动积极的社会变革，这将为存在社会不平等的澳大利亚社区提供显著的好处。

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.
