MRes Social Research and Social Justice

University of East London

This programme brings together specialist research skills with training in research advocacy and using research for social justice aims. The course is designed to build strategies and structures to challenge and survive the structural racism and inequality of the UK and global society, including in universities and research fields. This MRes is targeting individuals representing the ‘Global Majority’, particularly students from groups who are underrepresented in research careers with a first degree wanting to pursue a postgraduate qualification in the Creative Arts, Business Management, Bioscience or Social Sciences to help create social justice in a turbulent world. The global majority includes people whose recent families originated from the global south (Africa, South Asia, and South America) and other non-white backgrounds.
