About

We work to address some of the most pressing challenges in places affected by humanitarian crises, and for people and communities experiencing social exclusion and marginalisation.

We do this with a focus on inter-disciplinary research and teaching, with a particular focus on global disability issues, critical humanitarian studies, and health and social inclusion.
