The Human Rights and Democracy Forum is an interdisciplinary research collective housed within the University of Exeter Law School. Its membership spans Law, Politics, Sociology, and Criminology, featuring an expanding cohort of doctoral candidates alongside associate members from academic and legal professional backgrounds.
The Forum focuses on four primary research domains:
Theoretical and practical examinations of human rights and dignity, particularly within frameworks of the European Convention on Human Rights and EU Charter of Fundamental Rights
Interconnections between public, private, criminal, and international law with human rights and democratic governance issues
Comparative analyses of constitutional law and political systems across jurisdictions
Studies of authoritarian systems and democratic challenges, encompassing historical dictatorships and contemporary threats from populist and illiberal movements
