In this powerful episode of Think: Business Futures, we explore how domestic violence extends beyond the home and into the workplace, affecting productivity, safety, and economic security.
For this important discussion we are joined by Dr Mahajla Gavin, senior lecturer at UTS Business School, and an expert on domestic violence workplace policies, Thomas Shortridge, Policy and Research Project manager at UTS Business School, and Lisa McAdams, founder and director of Safe Space Workplace, which helps organisations support employees or clients impacted by domestic violence.

As the country races towards a more sustainable future, what are the broader social and economic impacts of widespread electric vehicle (EV) adoption in Australia?
We are joined by Theresa Harada, a researcher leading the Race for 2030 project, which aims to understand Australian consumers' attitudes towards electric vehicles, and Nathan Moore, a PhD student from UTS Business School who focuses on designing practical strategies and behavioural nudges to make the switch to electric cars more appealing and accessible.
We delve into the current state of EV adoption in Australia and the challenges and opportunities in the market, as well as the social justice implications of the shift to electric vehicles, including who stands to benefit the most.
So what will it take to convince more Australians to make the switch to EVs?

Welcome to a new series of THINK: Business Futures!
In this first episode we ask the question: How have international climate policies, particularly during Trump's presidency, influenced Australia's efforts to decarbonise?
We are joined by Dr Mona Mashhadi Rajabi, a post-doctoral research fellow at the Centre of Climate Risk and Resilience at UTS, and Professor Damien Giurco, an expert in sustainable resource management and Associate Director of Research at the UTS Institute of Sustainable Futures. Dr Rajabi shares fascinating research on how net zero announcements by the US, China, and the UK impact global markets and encourage other countries to act. Professor Giurco discusses Australia's decarbonisation journey, the importance of international collaboration, and the ripple effects of policy changes on global financial markets.
We also delve into the effects of Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and the positive market reactions to Biden's net zero commitments. Plus, we analyse China's role in global decarbonisation and what Australia's upcoming federal election might mean for its climate policies.

In this episode of Think: Business Futures, we’ll be diving into just one area of personal finance–superannuation.What is super?

And, if you’re a woman, why are you retiring with–on average–almost 25% less super than men?
To discuss these and other issues related to the superannuation gender gap, we’re joined by Professor Kathy Walsh, Associate Dean (Research and Innovation) and Professor in Finance at the UTS Business School and Dr Danny Yeung, Lecturer in Finance Discipline at the UTS Business School.
