York Centre for Social Justice and Democracy (YCSJD)

Description

The York Centre for Social Justice and Democracy, formerly the York Centre for Political Theory, is home to a large community of theoretical and normative scholars at the University of York, including academic staff, postdoctoral researchers and PhD students working on questions of social justice and democracy. The Centre fosters interdisciplinary research among staff in departments including Politics and International Relations, English and Related Literature, History, Philosophy and Sociology, building on the university's recognised strength in political theory.

Innovation, collaboration and impact lie at the core of the Centre's identity. Members produce agenda-setting work on pressing global political and ethical questions across three broad research themes: gender and sexuality under capitalism, democratic challenges, and modern times. The Centre organises capacity-building activities for academics and researchers in the form of conferences, workshops and seminars, including a book manuscript workshop for authors nearing completion of a manuscript.

The Centre is on Bluesky.
