Development Studies emphasises the applied and policy-relevant approaches to research, and this is reflected in the consultancy work which staff have undertaken for a number of governments and international organisations. The Division's areas of research include foreign direct investment, trade liberalisation, the operations of multinational corporations, issues arising from resource-based economies, sustainable livelihoods, human rights and capabilities, social justice, water research, regional development challenges within the UK, accountability mechanisms, poverty, inequality, and democracy.
Under these broad headings, a very considerable variety of doctoral research projects find an accommodating and stimulating intellectual environment. The culture of research in Peace Studies is unique and interdisciplinary, involving field-based, theoretical and applied knowledge creation. While issues-based work remains important, theoretical research is no less valued — indeed we regard it as essential to the continuing work of trying to address some of the most vexed and troubling problems of our time.
Key focuses include Disarmament from small arms and light weapons to WMD and biological arms control ; innovative work in Participation Studies including research on social class, ethnicity, gender and human rights; research undertaken within the John and Elnora Ferguson Centre for African Studies JEFCAS ; research on development in sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America on democratisation and gender and development; research from the pioneering Centre for Conflict Resolution on conflict analysis, peace-building from below and humanitarian intervention.
Peace Studies is multi-disciplinary and we invite applications from suitably qualified and motivated individuals, whatever their disciplinary background.
The Division has a particularly strong focus in the areas of health psychology and behaviour change. Members of the Bradford Cognition and Brain Group in the Division of Psychology work collaboratively with colleagues from the Faculty of Life Sciences to explore cognitive development and neuropsychological functioning. Government deliberation and public debate over social policy has never seemed more topical — and in some particulars, never more urgent.
Our vibrant Social Policy Division engages both the practical and theoretical aspects of contemporary social policy at the international, national and local levels across a wide range of issues. In addition to collaborations with Social Policy and Psychology, the Social Work Division undertakes important and timely work on a range of Social care issues.
Social care is a vital social function, and social work is one of the major means by which the state intervenes in personal welfare, yet both are often both underplayed and under-researched. Research in this area seeks to redress the balance, when the importance of social care is re-emerging as traditional forms of working and living decay while the content and form of social work has changed dramatically over the last decade.
