Research areas
Our work falls into four broad areas though our many research projects all engage with these key elements of our work:
- Rethinking and critically engaging with the disciplines and practices of Philosophy and Politics with particular attention to the challenges we are presented with today;
- Understanding emerging forms of politics and the challenges they present to critique. We have a long history of engagement with a range of social movements including populist, feminist, queer, climate change and anti-racist groups;
- Learning from and contributing to new theoretical debates in critical theory, philosophy and politics;
- Engaging with our local and global communities to foster interesting research, collegiality and mutual support.
Our current research output centres around the following themes:
Climate and Environmental Politics
Contemporary Populist Politics
Social Democratic Politics in the 21st Century
