The Creative Change project is an ARC Future Fellowship led by Professor Brydie-Leigh Bartleet at the Creative Arts Research Institute, Griffith University. It aims to investigate the role community music can play in addressing social inequity in Australia. Social inequity is on the rise, with problems of long-term disadvantage in communities across the country. There are growing calls for place-based approaches that bring together diverse stakeholders and sectors to work collectively on addressing this inequity. This research aims to advance our understanding of the role that community music can play in these tailored, community-based approaches. Building on a mounting evidence-base of research that documents the social, cultural, physiological, and economic benefits that can come from participating in music, it seeks to examine whether these positive outcomes can lead to the kinds of individual, community, and systemic changes needed for greater social equity to occur.
