Research
The quality of our research community and our distinctive interdisciplinary collaboration are used to address key human rights and societal challenges. Our members are engaged in independent and collaborative research projects on a wide range of themes including human rights theory and institutions, asylum and migration, non-discrimination and social inclusion, policing, privacy, freedom of religion, expression and association, social and economic rights and business and human rights.
Centre staff have also collaborated in the production of two leading texts on the ECHR and on human rights in Ireland respectively.
