Research in the School is organised around 10 overlapping research centres, groups and clusters. Our research centres, groups and clusters provide intellectual meeting places for our researchers.
Centre for Globalisation Research (CGR) is a global academic hub that researches multiple aspects of globalisation. It focuses on international monetary economics and finance, emerging and developing economies and labour economics.
Centre for Research in Equality and Diversity (CRED) is at the forefront of equality and diversity research both nationally and internationally. Its research is focused on employment, management, workplace, careers and migration aspects of diversity and inequality.
Centre on Labour, Sustainability and Global Production (CLaSP) engages in inter-disciplinary research on the changing position of workers, labour and regulation in the world economy. The Centre’s research on labour in the global economy focuses on uneven working conditions, labour standards, affective labour, unpaid work, and forms of representation and worker organisation that arise from inter-dependent global economic relations.
Accounting & Accountability Research Group (AARG) brings historical perspective and methods to contemporary business and management issues, such as financial capitalism, privatisation and technological change.
