New Perspective

New Perspective is an independent research think tank committed to producing critical, evidence-based insights into the complex social issues shaping contemporary society. Grounded in principles of equity, inclusion, and intellectual rigour, our work engages with the intersecting dynamics of race, class, gender, education, disability, and public health.

Who We Are

We aim to challenge dominant narratives and amplify underrepresented voices through innovative research, policy analysis, and community-led inquiry. Drawing on interdisciplinary methods and collaborative partnerships, New Perspective provides nuanced understanding and actionable recommendations to inform public discourse, influence policy, and inspire transformative change.

Our research is driven by a commitment to social justice and a belief in the power of knowledge to reimagine possibilities. Whether addressing systemic inequalities in education, advocating for inclusive practices in sport and health, or investigating the lived experiences of marginalised communities, we centre critical perspectives and strive to make research accessible and impactful
