Fourteen new research students join CSLS
2024 has seen the arrival of a large cohort of new research students studying for both the DPhil and the MPhil in socio-legal studies. Some have legal backgrounds, others are trained in social sciences, but their projects all centre on empirical research. We look forward to seeing how their projects develop over the coming years.
