Our research focuses on addressing social justice and citizenship challenges across local and global contexts, considering historical, current, and future perspectives. As societies grow more diverse while facing urban inequalities and climate change disparities, we pioneer collaborative research with civil society groups and communities to combat discrimination, injustice, and disempowerment, striving for global equity. We maintain active research partnerships ranging from small NGOs to governmental agencies, supported by funding from prestigious national and international sources including UK research councils, the European Union, the British Academy, and the Leverhulme Trust.
