Centre for Gender and Violence Research
The aim of the centre is to conduct high-quality national and international research, enabling theoretically informed policy and practice to combat gender-based violence (GBV). We provide research-led teaching on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, engage in commissioned work and consultancy, and produce and disseminate resources for practitioners and policy-makers.
