SSPA seeks to empower postgraduate students in the social sciences to socialise, learn, and develop both personally and professionally. We provide postgraduate students in the social sciences a space to socialise with each other, fostering not only professional connections but caring friendships with each other and building a sustainable student community. The SSPA functions as a representative body for social science postgraduate students, given our lack of representation in the UQ community in recent years.
SSPA aims to coordinate and collaborate with existing discipline specific student bodies (e.g., Anthropology Society, Archaeology society) to enable Social Science postgraduate students to engage in critical learning and inter-disciplinary knowledge exchange and stretch their thinking within social science (broadly defined). SSPA affords postgraduate students in the social sciences with opportunities to develop both research and practical skills to foster holistic personal and professional transformation.
