Research & Ideas
A think tank must publish.
OCE is building a public research platform for evidence, argument and debate on indigenous knowledge, culture, youth, education and the creative economy.
Research agenda
Our priority themes include indigenous knowledge governance, youth cultural citizenship, decolonial education, digital heritage, cultural rights, creative industries, cultural policy, public memory, language revitalisation and benefit-sharing.
Publication approach
OCE will publish work only when it is ready for public use. This site does not list unpublished or unverified outputs as completed publications.
Publication series in development
OCE Policy BriefsConcise, evidence-led interventions for government, institutions and funders.
OCE Working PapersLonger research and conceptual contributions.
Research ReportsSubstantive outputs on culture, education and creative industries.
Public Ideas ForumConversations connecting knowledge holders, artists, researchers and policymakers.
Research collaboration
We welcome serious scholarly and policy partnerships.
Universities, research centres and cultural institutions can contact OCE about collaborative studies, public programming and knowledge translation.
