The Centre for Law, Ethics & Society (CLES), part of the Research Institute for Law, Politics & Justice, brings together academics, researchers and postgraduate students with interests in ethics and law. Keele University has a strong tradition of working in the field of ethics and applied ethics that goes back over twenty years. Current research strengths include ethical issues relating to public health, medical technologies, the environment, risk and harm, policing and criminal justice, resource allocation, and global justice. Students also have access to library, IT, and other learning resources appropriate to their research project. Research within the Centre does not only include more theoretical work in ethics, but also interdisciplinary work with others at Keele and in relevant external organisations. All members of the Centre working in the field of ethics are focused on producing excellent high-quality research outputs. To facilitate this end we seek to maintain a vibrant, friendly and interactive research culture.
