Politics academics at Lancaster are leading experts in the discipline, publishing in top-ranked journals and engaging with the wider public conversation on how best to govern. We have a particular interest in the politics of borders, migration, race and nationalism, including a focus on the recent trends towards populism, authoritarianism and criticisms of democracy. We are also proud of our established track record of funding and grant capture, with current projects supported by the British Academy and Horizon Europe.
