Equalities, Rights and Justice research group (ERJ)
ERJ is interested to shape and share how we think about these themes law through diverse activities, such as publications, seminars, workshops, and conferences. It aims to contribute to academic and public debates. It also seeks to create a vibrant and supportive research culture in which experienced and new researchers alike are able to develop, share, and test their exciting ideas. ERJ’s input will be crucial in shaping its focus and direction, and developing alignment from the outset between your interests, skills, and areas of expertise and the research group's broader programme.
Activities will include:
- External speaker engagements
- Internal engagement and knowledge exchange events
- Collaborative projects
- Collaborative funding bids
- Dedicated events that offer space to kickstart an idea for an output (e.g., blog, policy brief, review, article, or chapter)
