Transforming | Social Sciences
The Leeds School of Social Sciences undertakes high quality research in the disciplines of Psychology, Criminology, Sociology, Speech and Language Sciences, and Politics and International Relations. Our research is organised around two dedicated centres - the Centre for Applied Social Research (CeASR) and the Centre for Psychological Research (PsyCen) – and aims to make a real difference to the lives of people and communities. Our researchers examine a range of important issues, including inequalities, psychological wellbeing, communication difficulties, policing and conflict resolution.
Each of our research centres host several research programmes. Within the Centre for Applied Social Research, there are five research strands: Peace; Global Inequalities; Crime, Justice & Society; Social Change; the Prison Research Network. The Centre for Psychological Research (PsyCen) also hosts five research programmes: Cognition & Behaviour; Genders & Sexualities; Health & Clinical Psychology; Speech & language; Organisational Behaviour.
