The Inclusive Societies hub aims to catalyse research across a range of social science disciplines in order to support the development of collaborative and interdisciplinary studies and publications
The hub addresses a variety of topics, including: social inclusion, citizen participation and democratic engagement, inclusive education, inclusive and non-discriminatory language, co-creation and multi-actor approaches, the inclusion of vulnerable and marginalised groups, access to services, and the protection of fundamental rights.
Many of the issues addressed by the Hub cannot be adequately analysed within the framework of a single discipline. An interdisciplinary perspective is therefore essential for uncovering new insights, fostering innovative approaches, and generating more comprehensive research outcomes.
