C3R contributes to race and rights teaching, at undergraduate and postgraduate level, as well as in the wider community.
Postgraduate
We have an active postgraduate community of Masters and PhD students who work on a range of race and rights topics and we welcome enquiries from potential postgraduates in any area of this field.
Postgraduates play a vital role in C3R activities, coordinating events and steering the direction of the centre through their research and engagement activities. We also host a monthly Race and Rights reading group for postgraduate students and early career scholars.
Be part of a thriving community of doctoral students producing world-class research.
