Research at LSE Human Rights

We foster interdisciplinary collaboration on relevant and timely topics about human rights

Current research projects 

Poverty

Laboratory for Advanced Research on the Global Economy

The Laboratory for Advanced Research on the Global Economy, directed by Dr Margot Salomon, probes the challenges posed by the complexities of the global economy and their implications for human well-being. The Lab has been set up to create a dynamic space for research, from the conceptual to the practical and across disciplines, on the myriad places where questions of human rights, fairness and justice intersect with economic globalisation.

Palestine

The Regulation of Palestinian Everyday Life

This research seeks to examine the way Palestinians are influenced and transformed by complex regulatory and normative systems, and the ways in which Palestinians in their everyday life perceive, negotiate, manipulate, adapt and resist such frameworks. The research empirically explores the forms of plural subjectivity which replicate themselves through engagement with different norms, institutions, and actors in a non-sovereign state-like apparatus, within a context of Israeli political and economic domination and the rise of neoliberal modes of governance.

Doctoral students

LSE Human Rights does not have a formal doctoral programme, but academic staff supervise PhD students via their home department (e.g. Law, Sociology etc). 

Human Rights Doctoral Research Forum

LSE Human Rights is a member of the Human Rights Doctoral Research Forum - a collaboration with Human Rights Centre at the University of Essex and the Centre of Governance and Human Rights at the University of Cambridge.

The Forum  aims to encourage participation and  collaboration by doctoral students researching human rights from the partner institutions. Students from all all three partner institutions have presented and commented on their work at special networking and workshop events. 

Visiting Fellowships

Our Visiting Fellowship Scheme enables human rights academics, researchers and practitioners to spend a period of time conducting research at LSE Human Rights.
