Enriching our understanding of the modern human experience
The Work, Live, and Play research cluster exists to explore the interconnected social and human dimensions of how we work, live, and engage in leisure. It provides insights into the evolving dynamics of modern life.
By leveraging interdisciplinary expertise, the cluster aims to address contemporary challenges and opportunities across these spheres. The research cluster covers three main streams of focus where we consider we work, live and play:
- Digital dimensions of work, leisure and play
- Business, society and leisure in sport
- Diverse and inclusive work
Cluster lead: Associate Professor Rory Mulcahy
