Description :

The Centre was founded on 1st June 2004 and involves a partnership between the University of Kent – the main physical base for the Centre – and the universities of Keele and Westminster.

CentreLGS seeks to broaden this field of studies by using humanities methods (philosophical, historical, doctrinal, literary and cultural) to analyse legal issues relating to gender and sexuality.
