It is a sub-unit of the Faculty of Law and is located in the St Cross Building. The Centre currently comprises six tenured academic staff: the Statutory Professor of Criminology (Ian Loader), three Professors of Criminology (Mary Bosworth, Rachel Condry and Carolyn Hoyle), and two Associate Professors (Katrin Muller-Johnson and Leila Ulrich). Professor Lucia Zedner (Senior Research Fellow, All Souls College) is involved in the Centre’s teaching and research programmes. The Centre also currently has a Visiting Professor (Dr. Hindpal Bhui), a Visiting Professor of Practice (Parvais Jabbar). The Centre is also comprised of a number (the exact number varies over time) of post-doctoral researchers (typically funded by the British Academy or Leverhulme Trust), as well as researchers working on externally-funded research projects. At present, there are six postdoctoral researchers working in the Centre. The Centre also runs an active Academic Visitors programme. The Centre’s work is supported by two professional support staff: A Graduate Studies Administrator (Abigail O’Regan) and a Centre Administrator (Angela Patterson). The Centre is home to the Death Penalty Research Unit, directed by Carolyn Hoyle, and the international Border Criminologies research network, founded by Mary Bosworth. It also hosts the student-run Oxford Transitional Justice Research network. At the Oxford Centre, we understand criminology as a ‘meeting place’ – staff in the Centre are originally trained in history, law, politics and international relations, psychology and sociology. We treat criminology as a field of enquiry where questions of order, justice and control around the globe are brought into conversation with the larger concerns of the social sciences, and social and political theory, with such matters as de-colonialism, gender, political economy, race, and the futures or a climate-changed planet. More information on areas of scholarly research and Research and Communications Officer 4 policy engagement in the Centre can be found here. The person appointed will be expected to play a full and active part in contributing to the Centre’s research agenda and profile. The Centre for Criminology has established a strong reputation over three decades, first for undergraduate teaching and criminological research, latterly also for its graduate criminology programme. Today, the Centre is principally a graduate school. The core of our educational provision is the MSc Criminology and Criminal Justice. The degree has been running for over 20 years and is now well-established with an annual cohort of 28 full-time and 5 part-time students. The Centre offers a thriving DPhil Criminology programme, available both full-time and part-time. At any one time the Centre has a graduate research community of around 40 students. The Centre also teaches an option on ‘Criminology and Criminal Justice’ on the final (FHS) year of the BA Law degree. The Centre is housed in dedicated space in the Law Faculty building. Next door is the Social Sciences building www.manor-road.ox.ac.uk - which offers great opportunities for interaction with colleagues from the other Social Science units: Socio-Legal Studies (within the Faculty of Law), Politics and International Relations, and Economics. More details about the Centre are available on its website Social Sciences Division Social Sciences is one of four academic Divisions in the University, each with considerable devolved budgetary and financial authority, and responsibility for providing a broad strategic focus across its constituent disciplines. Thirteen departments, one faculty, and three cross-divisional research units come under the aegis of the division which spans the full range of social science disciplines with links into the humanities and physical sciences (including Law, Management, Economics, Politics and International Relations, Sociology, Social Policy, Area Studies, Development Studies, Education, Anthropology, Archaeology, Geography, Public Policy). There are over 700 academic staff, 2,700 graduate students (postgraduate taught and postgraduate research), and 1900 undergraduates working and studying in the division. The division is established as a world-leading centre for research in the social sciences and regularly sits at the highest levels of international league tables of one form or another. It is the largest grouping of social science disciplines in the UK and it is also home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as PPE, the BCL, the MPhils in International Relations, in Economics, and in Development Studies, and the nationally regarded PGCE. We believe that excellence in teaching and research is synergistic and remain committed to sustaining and developing the high quality of our activities in both these areas. Our departments are committed to research which develops a greater understanding of all aspects of society, from the impact of political, legal and economic systems on social and economic welfare to human rights and security. That research is disseminated through innovative graduate programmes and enhances undergraduate courses.
