University research themes
At York, researchers collaborate across the University's seven interdisciplinary research themes to address the great scientific, social and environmental challenges of our times.
Our department has particularly strong partnerships within three themes: Environmental Sustainability and Resilience, Health and Wellbeing and Justice and Equality.
Environmental Sustainability and Resilience
Health and Wellbeing
Understanding relationships between the environment and health is a growing area of research in our Department. We aim to develop expertise through collaboration across departments to influence emerging policy and practice in the UK and abroad.
Featured research
Justice and Equality
Our research is identifying the opportunities and challenges of natural environments. We consider how different people share the risks, benefits, costs and control of interactions between humans and environment.
