Our research themes
Conflict
Our research addresses the study of conflict and its links to inequality in social-political, cultural, and domestic contexts. This theme addresses the UNSDGs 5 Gender Equality, 10 Reducing Inequality and 16 Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
Emotion
We apply a range of psychological, psychoanalytic and social theories alongside the development of new affective methodologies to explore the complexities of experience in the late modern world. This theme addresses the UNSDG 3 Good Health and Well-being.
Social Justice
Our research aims to promote diverse and equal societies, addressing inequalities and experiences of marginalisation. This theme addresses the UNSDGs 5 Gender Equality, 10 Reducing Inequality and 16 Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
Our research seminars
We run monthly seminars with speakers from within and outside the university, covering a wide range of disciplines and topics. These cover the study of conflict and its links to inequality in social-political, cultural, and domestic contexts. They discuss a range of psychological, psychoanalytic and social theories alongside the development of new affective methodologies to explore the complexities of experience in the late modern world. The aims are to promote diverse and equal societies, addressing inequalities and experiences of marginalisation.
