Legal Methods and Methodologies
We work together with colleagues from within and outside of legal academia to foreground the ‘How?’ of research.
The Law School’s new Methodologies Research Group brings together colleagues from within and outside of legal academia to foreground the ‘How?’ of research. The Methodologies Research Group welcomes all types of approaches, including doctrinal, socio-legal, critical, comparative, interdisciplinary, and so on.
It aims to provide a forum for internal and external speakers to present on the methodological aspects of their work, help build capacity around research methods and methodological interrogations, and spotlight an important aspect of research that has historically been neglected in legal academia.
