We work on issues of social justice and citizenship from local to global scales with an eye to past, present and future challenges. In the context of increasingly diverse societies, unequal cities and uneven impacts of climate change, we develop innovative research, often in collaboration with civil society organisations and community groups to overcome discrimination, injustice and disempowerment and to achieve a fairer world. We are involved in a variety of local to international research partnerships from small NGOs to government departments. This work is supported through our successful track record of external funding from a variety of national and international sources such as UK research councils, European Union, British Academy and Leverhulme Trust.
