The unit equips students to effectively translate, communicate and embed research developed from spiritually- and/or theologically-informed practice and maximise application, engagement and impact of knowledge in ways that contribute to their professional context/s. It evaluates examples that enable practitioners, organisations, communities and other stakeholders to: address current challenges and opportunities; apply research in everyday contexts; spark meaningful organisational change and/or other real world transformation. Developing an awareness of their audience and stakeholders, students consider a variety of innovative and strategic approaches to communicating and embedding research, including: public speaking; writing field-specific, peer-reviewed journal articles; story-telling; organisational report writing; curating public exhibitions and events; presenting original creative works, performances or other artefacts; using social and other digital media; developing interactive, collaborative and/or relational workshops, immersive experiences and/or practical processes.
