Human Rights
Human Rights research and teaching is an interdisciplinary endeavour at the University of Stirling. We work across Philosophy, History, Political Sciences, Social Sciences and Law to provide an interdisciplinary lens on human rights research relating to everyday life. Our staff are engaged in world leading, rigorous, high impact policy-orientated research ranging in issues from children’s rights, the rights to housing, food and health, as well as intellectual property and human rights and climate justice.
Our researchers have worked with NGOs, parliaments, human rights institutions, the European Commission, the United Nations and the Council of Europe on the key human rights issues of our time. For example, our research informs the work of the Scottish Government on the incorporation of international human rights into domestic law.
