Justice and Violence Studies @ Exeter
We aim to contribute to the creation of a fair, socially just and inclusive society. Our network aligns with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal 16 to ‘promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions.’ Using qualitative, quantitative and evaluative methods, and the experience (including lived experience) of others as appropriate, our members assess and evaluate policies and practices to better understand how and why people are subject to violence and injustice and the most effective methods for combatting these.

Routes @ Exeter: Migration, Mobility and Displacement
Our network uses interdisciplinary research to enable its members to engage collaboratively in investigation of all aspects of human mobility, migration and displacement. We draw from a variety of disciplinary traditions to create new knowledge, and to intervene in debates, policy processes and practice on these issues. In so doing we aim to build understanding, capacity, and to attain sustainability, through reciprocal knowledge-sharing with colleagues, students and organisations in and outside academia, as well as to create links with other groups working in this field.
