Centre for Critical Legal Studies (CCLS)

Description

The Centre for Critical Legal Studies (CCLS) is a multidisciplinary collective dedicated to examining issues related to race, class, and gender, particularly focusing on intersectionality. Its mandate is to scrutinise and address significant societal, political, economic, and environmental challenges, and explore the law's role in these complexities.

The CCLS encourages collaborations with various stakeholders, including artists, activists, academics, and students. Its research interests are vast, encompassing areas like law and protest, anti-imperialist legal perspectives, aesthetics and law, neoliberalism, decolonising legal theories, and the application of diverse theoretical frameworks such as social, feminist, critical, anti-imperialist, queer and Marxist theory to legal issues.

The centre aims to foster a collaborative environment that challenges conventional academic practices. It intends to compile diverse ideas and projects under specific themes, contributing to the production of a book series influencing both pedagogy and research agendas.

The CCLS stands on the foundation of Warwick Law School's established tradition of critical approaches to law. It espouses Warwick’s context-oriented legal analysis that promotes understanding law in its broader political, economic, and social context. Moreover, it aspires to build an extensive network beyond Warwick and other higher education institutions.
