We are focused on regional, national and global trends such as climate change, health trends, community-based health programmes and health behaviours.

We are interested in what is 'new' about contemporary urbanism, including the techniques through which cities are governed, the how lives are lived.

The boundaries of life and non-life, and human and non-human life, are at stake across a range of contemporary scientific, social and economic.

Global discourses on the distributed responsibility of the current climate crisis often ignore the colonial histories of exploitation that continue.

Our research is inspired by the political urgencies of the present, while seeking broader historical contexts and conceptual links.

Our vision is for everyone in the UK to be able to breathe clean air that promotes a healthy brain and cognitive life.

Our mission is to transform health and wellbeing and reduce health inequalities through the conduct of world-class public health research.

Innovative teaching and dialogue on the ethical, social and regulatory issues raised by the life sciences, such as issues relating to biotechnology.

Our vision is to deliver 'better, fairer health and care at all ages and in all places' organised around seven key research themes.

Our research encompasses a range of academic disciplines, including the physical and social sciences and the arts and humanities.

We make a difference by addressing inequalities, promoting social justice, and ensuring better health and wellbeing through sport and exercise.
