The group will provide members of the reference group for the project Sociology in Australia: A Scoping Study funded by the Carrick Institute. The project is being carried out over 2008 by Helen Marshall, John Germov (Newcastle) and Eileen Clark (La Trobe), with funding of $100,000 from the Carrick Institute for Teaching and Learning.
