Welcome to the SoCIETIE Initiative @ McCusker Institute: a course like no other at ANU.

You get to shape your own learning journey by choosing modules—called KNoTs—that focus on the skills and big ideas needed to create real change in our communities.

KNoTs are hands-on, engaging, and supported by university and community sector partners. They’re shaped by expert academics and practitioners, covering topics like transdisciplinary problem-solving, social impact, stakeholder engagement, critical thinking, Indigenous knowledges and perspectives, and translating disciplinary knowledge to critical societal issues.
