The Centre's members are socially and critically engaged, and are keen to hear from members of the local community, as well as media and national and international organisations.

Every year, it holds a series of events; besides its regular seminar series, the Centre also organises workshops, conferences, and a range of impact and public engagement activities. It also hosts leading scholars and early-career researchers through its visitors' programme, and organises events for its vibrant PhD community.
