Centre for the Study of Emotion and Law (CSEL)

Description

The Centre, which is co-directed by Professor Jill Marshall from the Department of Law and Criminology and by Professor Amina Memon from Psychology, both within Royal Holloway, University of London, shares an interest in how ‘emotion’ is understood and how it affects individuals and their fair treatment by legal frameworks, institutions, bureaucratic structures and processes. Our research aims to study how policy, behaviour and systems can be adapted with this in mind. Individuals most deeply affected by these issues are at the centre of our work.

We welcome collaborations from outside academia as the Centre will serve as a hub of expertise for research, policy makers, practitioners, journalists, campaigners and
others who can benefit from our work.
