The Socio-Legal Studies Research Group is interested in collaborative research into the study of legal ideas, practices and institutions in their social and historical contexts. This group seeks to understand law in the context of its relationship to an ever-changing society.
Researchers support and extend the work of the Biological Economies Research Project, which aimsto raise the visibility of social science as a means of understanding change in New Ҷֱ’s biologically-based economic sectors (food and fibre production and associated industries), andto develop this understanding theoretically to contribute to international debates about value chains, eco-verification, carbon miles, sustainability and climate change.
