Research interests

  • Solution-oriented social science

    This work focuses on how to strengthen connections between social science research and "real-world" problems in order to develop better solutions, enhance the relevance and public value of university research, improve research quality and lead to new scientific discoveries. The key to better "solution-oriented" social science is to build strong partnerships between university researchers, government, industry, not-for-profits and civil society. It requires new collaborative approaches across disciplines and sectors, and researchers with strong disciplinary foundations, generalisable advanced research skills, and an ability to move beyond narrow intellectual comfort zones. We also need to build the research infrastructure - data, analytic tools, training and skilled workforce - and other aspects of the research and innovation system, including mission-driven funding mechanisms, to support these activities. I am interested in doing solution-oriented social science to address specific problems and also in research about how to create the conditions to do it better, and at larger scale.

  • Social and economic inequality

    This work focuses on understanding the dimensions and causes of social and economic inequality in rich countries, and what to do about it. I am particularly interested in educational inequality, dimensions of social and economic inequality in adult life, and now "non-economic" processes, like culture, social capital, and system and institutional design contribute to different kinds of inequalities. I have a particular interest in understanding social and economic mobility across generations and over the life course.

  • Social Science Research Methods

    My interests in research methods are both technical and more broadly methodological. I am interested in how to improve quantitative methods like social surveys and statistical analyses to generate more valid and reliable conclusions from these kinds of data. I am also interested in how to use new computational methods like machine learning on very large social science datasets, to identify patterns, classify observations, and make better predictions. At the more methodological level, I am interested in how to design research projects and analyse data to produce useful information in real settings where we need certain kinds of good answers - for instance, knowing if a social program works in a real community that is subject to many overlapping programs, where we have too much information, but too few observations for conventional methods to work well. I am also increasingly interested in how working closely with stakeholder communities can enrich social science research and help social scientists avoid making errors, including harmful errors, that come from being too theoretical and abstract, and not sufficiently grounded in the realities they are studying.

Research impacts

Mark has led or contributed to projects which have had direct impacts on policy and practice. In 2001 he led the team which produced one of the first national studies of General Practitioners' use of information technology for the Australian Department of Health. In 2005- 2006 he led a team which produced estimates of international students' non-tuition fee expenditure which were used in the Australian National Accounts to help quantify the export value of Australian education. He also led the first national study of the employment outcomes of graduates of Australian PhD training programs. More recently, he has also worked on major evaluations of government policies and programs, such as the national Paid Parental Leave Scheme, and developed evaluation frameworks for major policy initiatives such as the Health and Hospitals Fund, which supported national health infrastructure, and the Queensland Government's 10 year Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Strategy. Mark also sits on a number of Advisory and Expert Reference Groups for non-government organisations, and State and Federal Government Departments. Mark particularly enjoys working with partners in government, industry and the not-for-profit sector on problems that matter to them and have real-world relevance and impact.
