The Societal Challenges SIG brings together those who are passionate about social justice and the inclusion of marginalised groups. We are motivated to collaborate and bring together our experiences and knowledge in innovative ways through collaborative research and exchange of learning. We aim to develop strategies to address the social challenges in our communities, places of work and globally, to improve lives and protect our environment. Current topics that we are working on include: Social Economy; Work Integration and Social Enterprises; Decent Work; Human Rights; Migration and Refugees; Care Work and Caring; Policy, Practice, and Performance Frameworks (Impact Measurement).
