Centre for Policy, Citizenship and Society (CPCS)

Description

The Centre for Policy, Citizenship and Society (CPCS) conducts research that seeks to understand the ways in which society operates, especially in relation to policy, theory and practice in social contexts. These issues are explored through sociological, socio-political, cultural, economic and organisational lenses. They are underpinned by theoretical and applied research that seeks to understand and inform social and public policy.

Research in the Centre spans a range of themes, including exploring issues of identity (e.g. gender, race/ethnicity, age, social class), identity construction, youth research, citizenship, security, the workplace, social exclusion, as well as research examining the interplay between policy and the changing nature of societies. Much of this work takes a critical lens, with researchers in the Centre also actively researching decoloniality. The CPCS is highly interdisciplinary, involving researchers from areas including social work, sociology, politics, international relations, psychology, education, and other fields.
