Coronavirus Research

The Coronavirus Pandemic is changing our world, and how we live, in ways that would have been difficult to fathom before 2020. Researchers in the University are applying their expertise to help combat COVID-19, from infectious diseases specialists to Humanities & Social Sciences academics looking at how society is being impacted.

A number of new projects are being funded within the School of Law and Social Justice, exploring areas such as the dangers of domestic abuse during lockdown, and how children's rights might be affected.
