Knowledge-making in Australian society: sociology and its social impact

这个项目旨在揭示澳大利亚人在几代人的时间里是如何以有组织的方式寻求社会意义的。该项目打算通过对主要学者的访谈、档案和引用数据，确定社会学知识是如何在后殖民主义、多元文化和全球资本主义的背景下形成的，以及这些思想在多大程度上促进了政策、立法和公共辩论，并受到其影响。预期结果包括关于学科作用的新证据，并有助于这一新兴领域的国际研究努力。

This project aims to reveal how Australians, over several generations, have sought to make sense of society in an organised way. The project intends to draw from interviews with key scholars, archival and citation data to ascertain how sociological knowledge has been shaped by a context of post-colonialism, multiculturalism and global capitalism as well as the extent to which these ideas have contributed to, and been influenced by, policy, legislation and public debate. Expected outcomes include new evidence about the role of disciplines and contribute to the international research effort in this emerging field.
