RESEARCH CENTRES
The Department is also home to a number of leading international research centres. Consistent with the broader research culture in the department, the centres all collaborate flexibly on issues and projects, and enjoy a high degree of postgraduate student involvement.
Centre for Mobilities Research (CEMORE) This centre, directed by John Urry, has promoted the ‘mobilities’ turn in the social sciences. Research has been funded by ESRC, EPSRC, the Department for Transport, the Department of Trade and Industry and the Forestry Commission. CEMORE established the new international journal Mobilities.
Centre for Science Studies (CSS) The Centre for Science Studies promotes interdisciplinary research at Lancaster across the boundaries of science, technology, and public policy. Its members take diverse approaches including feminist STS, actor-network theory (and after), cultural analyses of science, and anthropological and postcolonial technoscience studies.
Centre for the Study of Environmental Change (CSEC) CSEC has an established reputation for researching environment and technology issues in a distinctive way which combines qualitative research with social theoretical questions and a critical engagement with public policy.
Centre for Gender and Women’s Studies (CGWS) Research and teaching in gender and women’s studies at Lancaster is organised into CGWS, which provides a cross- disciplinary focus for more than 60 staff and postgraduates from 19 departments in the social sciences and humanities.
