Research

Politics and International Relations

Research in the Department of Political, Social & International Studies (PSI) is supported within the framework of three broad groups, reflecting the focus and strengths of our Department: Democracy & Governance; Cultural Politics, Communication and Media; and Critical Global Politics.

Open to all staff and PhD Students, as well as colleagues from other parts of the School and University, the groups are forums for discussing work-in-progress, debating general intellectual developments, and developing research collaborations. They are also important venues for the mentoring of Early Career Researchers by more experienced colleagues. Several staff members participate in more than one group.
