Research
We are committed to contributing, through the excellence of our research and policy work, to critical exploration of the role of law in promoting (or inhibiting) social justice.
Our academic research is respected internationally for its rigour and significance. We take as the inspiration for our legal investigations core values such as equality and citizenship, participation and exclusion, vulnerability, and social responsibility – whilst also reflecting upon how such values are themselves constructed and critiqued.
Research clusters
Our research clusters provide focal points for collaboration in different areas of social, legal, and political research. These are crucial in supporting the building of external partnerships and providing a platform for knowledge exchange.
