The
new cluster will be under the academic direction of Professor Denis
Galligan, Professor of Socio-Legal Studies, Member of the FLJS Board of
Trustees, and Fellow of Wolfson College, who will work alongside the
FLJS Founding President John W. Adams, Wolfson Fellows, and FLJS staff
to study the role of law in society at national, regional, and
international levels, and explore the interconnections between law,
economics, politics, and society.
The Law, Justice and Society
research cluster will join several other research clusters recently
created under the guidance of the College’s President, Professor
Hermione Lee. The clusters draw on the outstanding scholarly strengths
and interests within the College to foster innovative approaches to
interdisciplinary research.
A major aim of the cluster will be to
make research on issues of contemporary interest and importance
accessible to a wider audience, and to involve the professional,
business, and political sectors in its work.
