Inequalities, justice and representation
Our research focuses on issues relating to race, ethnicity, migration and their intersection with other forms of inequality.
All our work supports the University Research Beacon on Global Inequalities, to help bring about a fairer and more just world.
Our research strengths are in:
- ageing;
- class;
- gender;
- ethnicity;
- families and communities;
- citizenship and human rights.
A research showcase was held in the summer 2024 with a focus on inequalities. For further information, please see the Research Showcase booklet.
