传播与社会变革中心（CfCSC）专门研究和实际应用传播过程，技术和媒体，这些过程，技术和媒体被用来为社会带来公平的变革，社会转型和赋权。该中心是澳大利亚唯一一家进行研究、提供学位课程和批判性地参与这一领域的专业学术机构。

该中心成立于2007年，目前设在传播与艺术学院，由一群在发展和传播事务方面拥有全球经验的国际研究人员和从业人员组成，包括联合国、非政府组织和政府机构。他们进行合作研究，通过咨询参与CSC计划，通过召集研究生研究和课程计划来建设能力，并促进公众参与CSC概念和方法。

CfCSC擅长的特定流程包括参与式计划规划，评估和影响评估，沟通战略制定，便利，成人学习，参与性需求和机会评估，以及行动研究。

该中心的主要研究领域有参与式传播，社会运动和宣传，通信技术与社会变革，跨学科与社会变革等等。

在参与式传播方面，包括使用沟通过程、技术和媒体，以促进利益相关者公平参与社会变革进程。利益相关者包括参与这些变革过程并受其影响的个人、团体和机构。这一领域的工作涉及有目的地设计和应用沟通战略、平台和机制，以积极有效地促进变革进程。它还涉及对参与性传播进程所需的体制结构、条件和能力进行批判性分析，以便使变革进程产生更公平和可持续的结果。

在通信技术与社会变革方面，人们普遍认为，电信中心和移动电话以及各种信息和通信技术（ICT）具有带来积极社会变革的巨大潜力。虽然世界各地有许多信通技术发挥作用的例子，但其成功取决于有利的环境和人们创造性地使技术适应当地需求的自由。

The Centre for Communication and Social Change (CfCSC) specializes in the study and practical application of communication processes, technologies and media that are used to bring about equitable change, social transformation and empowerment for society. The Centre is the only professional academic institution in Australia that conducts research, offers degree programmes and is critically involved in this field.

Founded in 2007 and currently housed in the School of Communication and the Arts, the Centre is comprised of a group of international researchers and practitioners with global experience in development and communication affairs, including the United Nations, non-governmental organizations and government agencies. They conduct collaborative research, participate in CSC programs through consultation, build capacity by convening graduate research and course programs, and promote public participation in CSC concepts and methods.

Specific processes in which CfCSC excels include participatory program planning, evaluation and impact assessment, communication strategy development, facilitation, adult learning, participatory needs and opportunity assessment, and action research.

The center's main research areas are participatory communication, social movements and advocacy, communication technology and social change, interdisciplinarity and social change, etc.

In terms of participatory communication, including the use of communication processes, technology and media, to promote equitable stakeholder participation in social change processes. Stakeholders include individuals, groups and institutions involved in and affected by these change processes. Work in this area involves the purposeful design and application of communication strategies, platforms and mechanisms to actively and effectively facilitate the change process. It also involves a critical analysis of the institutional structures, conditions and capacities required for participatory communication processes in order to make the change process produce more equitable and sustainable results.

In the context of communication technologies and social transformation, it is widely recognized that telecentres and mobile phones, as well as various information and communication technologies (ICTs), have great potential to bring about positive social change. While there are many examples of ICT working around the world, its success depends on an enabling environment and the freedom of people to creatively adapt technology to local needs.
