Read what the Centre has been doing over the last year by clicking on the link to a PDF of our latest newsletter.
In the Centre we are rightly proud of the achievements of our students and their engagement in public activities and international opportunities, as well as those of our staff. It is through our newsletter that we keep our colleagues, here in the UK and internationally, abreast of our activities. We thought you would want to share in this.
In this edition you will find articles on student international placements in Malaysia, our hosted international week, and our new Sociology & Anthropology programme. There is information about conference presentations undertaken by Centre members, and introductions to some of the exciting and innovative social science research conducted within the Centre.
Should you want to find out more, to collaborate with members on research projects please get in touch with any of us.
