Cluster overview
Building on the Law School's longstanding reputation for progressive approaches to social and legal change and excellence in socio-legal research, SJHR members apply a range of doctrinal, empirical and theoretical methodologies to diverse legal settings raising issues of social justice and human rights. Drawing from critical, feminist, queer, Marxist, materialist, postmodern and post-structural theories, alongside moral and political philosophy, SJHR scholars engage with the law as both productive of injustice and as a possible site of resistance.
