Our research
In this section you can find details about our research projects and reading lists on key issues.
Our research investigates equality and human rights across Great Britain.
We are building a robust evidence base to influence policy, inform our strategic priorities and improve people's lives.
We conduct major research projects into pressing issues of social inequality and areas in which our human rights are under threat. Our approach varies, from interviews with members of the public to complex statistical analysis of large datasets, such as household surveys.
