About the centre
The Centre for Law and Humanities, co-directed by Professor Elena Loizidou and Professor Patrick Hanafin, facilitates and promotes research through seminars, workshops, conferences and visits from distinguished scholars. The centre was set up in the early 2000s. We build on the School of Law's research strengths in:
- critical legal theory
- law and ecology
- law and aesthetics
- law and film, law and literature
- law and psychoanalysis
- legal history
- space and architecture
- law and political theory.
Our aims are to:
- Facilitate the generation of cutting-edge research in law, humanities and arts within the school through reading groups, seminars, workshops and lectures.
- Generate links and co-operation with researchers working in law and humanities that map onto research undertaken within the school and College.
- Bring together doctoral students working on law and the humanities school and enable their development as researchers in this bourgeoning research field.
Our objectives are to:
- Make visible the contribution of law and humanities research and methodologies especially in their contribution to identifying legal limits and possibilities.
- Map emerging methodologies and research in the field of law and humanities within and outside the school.
