Sussex Centre for Human Rights Research

Doctoral research

We have a number of doctoral researchers affiliated with the Centre working on human rights or related topics.

Doctoral researchers are encouraged to participate fully in the activities of the Centre, including presenting at work-in-progress seminars, and taking part in workshops and networking events.

The doctoral working group oversees and organises additional events, targeted specifically at the needs of doctoral researchers. The PhD representative provides a mechanism for communication and feedback between doctoral researchers and the Directors of the Centre.

Any doctoral researchers who would like to be involved in the doctoral working group or added to the Centre's mailing list (to receive up-to-date information about forthcoming events) should contact one of the Centre Co-Directors or PhD representatives.
