Social Innovation, Governance and Professional Leadership - LAWS300

Students will interact directly with policy makers from Participation and Community Engagement (PACE) partner organisations drawn from a range of sectors including government, civil society and the private sector. Mentors from partner organisations will work with students on real world research projects that will feed into and support the innovation and reform work of the partner organisation. Mentors will also discuss with students the highlights and challenges of working in policy development and the leadership role that their organisation plays in working for progress and policy reform. Students will work in professionally oriented teams to meet the research needs of the partner organisation and will present the results of their research to their partner organisation and their peers for consideration and feedback.

Please note that applications to undertake LAWS300 in Session 2 will close at the end of Week 5 in Session 1, 2016. No late applications can be accepted. For information on the application process please lodge an online enquiry via ask.mq.edu.au.
