All its three strands are repesented in these research programmes, which focus on vital and urgent political and ethical questions of our times.
Families and Relationships
The Families and Relationships interdisciplinary research programme takes a critical constructionist approach to these important areas of social life, and their intersections with themes of citizenship, identities and governance.
Psycho-Social
The ‘psychosocial’ is the object of a new inter- or trans-disciplinary field of inquiry. Focusing on the relationship between the human subject and the material and social worlds, researching the psychosocial questions conventional distinctions between these categories, viewing them instead as implicated in each other.
Publics
The Publics programme seeks to develop new understandings of public action, public culture, public space, and the public sphere. The remaking of contemporary practices of publicness cuts across questions of citizenship, identities and governance.
