Research theme 3

As a Catholic university, ACU embraces the Catholic intellectual tradition and facilitates a deep understanding of our Catholic ethos.

Projects under this theme interrogate Catholic identity, with Catholic organisations examining the expression of their Catholic mission, ethos and traditions across their organisational practices. Projects also explore the social justice work of Catholic organisations.

Projects focus on one or several organisations and examine Catholic identity at either international, national, state-based, or local levels.

Our projects under this theme explore Catholic responses to family violence and report on the development of inaugural programs, including the School of Preaching and the Order of Malta study program.
