Our mission

Our overarching vision is to produce world-leading, innovative, impactful research through multi-disciplinary transformative approaches that rethink knowledge and practices in ways that are socially just and sustainable.

Our aims are:

  • to foster a participatory and egalitarian ethos in education and the production of knowledge. We are committed to developing research that challenges orthodoxies, supports social justice, and interrogates received wisdom by producing alternative accounts that help generate fresh thinking about possible futures.
  • to provide a collaborative, supportive environment to further researchers’ careers and nurture related interests by providing both a space and a network across the university for staff and students.
  • to maintain, develop, and enhance the reputation of the university in these areas of expertise by building on existing national and international research links and create further opportunities for networking on national and international scales.
