PACE PROJECTS

HHRCS was invited to participate in one of Macquarie University 's Professional and Community Engagement (PACE) projects within the Department of Sociology. The project linked students with members of the community to research and discuss with them an "Object of Passion" in their life. The aims were twofold - to provide students with practical research skills with real subjects, and also to allow community members to share their stories and their passion for a significant object in their life.

3 members of the HHRCS community participated Marzieh spoke about her passion for saffron and the significance of this within her family and cultural life, David a musician, spoke about his relationship with the flute, and Gregory an astrophysicist spoke of his passion for the telescope and the study of the universe.
