Welcome to the Research Institute for Social Sciences
Welcome to Keele's Research Institute for Social Sciences, which brings together over 170 academic staff and over 200 postgraduate students working across a range of social science disciplines. Staff and research students are grouped within five Research Centres, these providing a focus for seminars, grant activity, support to PGRs, and research support and supervision. The five Centres that make up the Social Sciences Research Institute are the:
- Centre for Economics and Management
- Centre for Law, Ethics and Society
- Centre for the Study of Politics, International Relations and Environment
- Centre for Psychological Research
- Centre for Social Policy
In RAE 2008 85-95% of research across the main areas submitted was judged to be of international quality. Members of the Research Institute currently hold major grants from the Economic and Social Research Council, the Medical Research Council, the British Academy and the European Union. The RI welcomes researchers from across the University and beyond to attend the regular programme of seminars, conferences and workshops advertised elsewhere on this site. We look forward to seeing you.
