Law and humanities research cluster
Our cluster is one of the oldest in the Birkbeck Law School, and draws on literature, rhetoric, interpretation theories, film and media studies, aesthetics and art and offers a sustain commentary on both the limits of law, its institutions and practices and the possibilities of transformation.
Relevant research centres
- The research centre most closely involved in this cluster is the Centre for Law and the Humanities; and we are associated with Birkbeck Gender and Sexuality (BiGS); and the Birkbeck Institute for the Moving Image (BIMI).
