228 www.kent.ac.uk/sspssr/studying/postgraduate “We have had a brand new school building built in the last year, and it is fantastic. All of the staff offices, study spaces, student support offices and meeting rooms are located in one area, and this has created a very strong community.” Emma Cooke PhD Sociology
Admissions T: +44 (0)1227 827272 www.kent.ac.uk/pg 229 Gender, Sexuality and Culture Research addresses how gender is constructed and how it operates in a variety of social realms. Some recent projects have focused on gender in prisons, on women working as door staff in nightclubs and on how women are addressed in advice on pregnancy. Research on social policy also includes a focus on gender, examining how men, women and families are affected by legislation and service provision. Health and Social Care See p223. Migration and Ethnicity See p223. Risk and Uncertainty See p223. Social Policy and Welfare See p223. Visual and Sensory Research looks at the visual dimension of social life. How is life seen; how are images created, stored and used? It also explores the use of images in innovative forms of research design and in sharing our findings. Work and Economic Life See p224. Research centres The School also has several research centres that bring together experts in the field, co-ordinate research, organise talks and offer opportunities for postgraduate students to get involved in discussions and research projects. Centre for Child Protection See p63. Centre for Health Services Studies (CHSS) See p224. Centre for Parenting Culture Studies (CPCS) This Centre is interdisciplinary, with associates in other schools at Kent, including Psychology and Law, and at other universities in the UK and internationally. While CPCS associates have diverse research interests, the common view is that child-rearing as a social activity needs to be distinguished from ‘parenting’ and the culture that surrounds it. The Centre seeks to show how the role and meaning of parenthood has changed in recent years. Centre for Philanthropy See p224. Centre for the Study of Social and Political Movements See p224. Centre for Social Science and Risk The Centre conducts research into the concept of risk and uncertainty: how and why risk is manifested and how it is experienced in today’s society. Research seeks to understand causal issues from the perspectives of both individuals and organisations while considering the wider political and social context. Personal Social Services Research Unit (PSSRU) See p224. Q-Step Centre The University of Kent is one of 15 universities in the UK to have a Q-Step Centre, significantly funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), the Nuffield Foundation and the Economic and Social Research Council for England (ESRC), to provide students with advanced training in quantitative methods in social sciences. The Centre is based in SSPSSR and incorporates teaching from politics and international relations, law, business and liberal arts. At its heart is the delivery of quantitative skills training in a subject context with communitybased projects and professional placements. Tizard Centre See p215.
