Category: Culture and Society

Our research on culture and society explores the interaction between the law and the social and cultural sphere. Culture in this sense is broadly construed, and encompasses aspects of cultural works such as art and music, but also the impact of law on of the culture of organisations or fields, such as scientific practice, or as interpreted through social media. This theme also explores areas such as domestic violence and trauma.
