CEES has an innovative, collaborative, and strong research culture with a high level of commitment to research activity and output. Research contributes to theoretical advancement and research practices, and our findings are fed directly into our teaching to enrich our student experience.

The West-coast and Work-in-progress seminar series, open to both staff and postgraduate students, encourage research dialogue with a vibrant mix of academics and practitioners.
