School of Social Sciences people
Our senior leadership team supports staff and students to thrive as part of a new school community. We aim to bring together our disciplines of economics, law, sociology, politics and international relations to enhance our understanding of the world, learn from each other, and give students an experience that is discipline-led but connected to broader skills and ideas.
