Interdisciplinary research project: Exploring the use of digital forensic technology in criminal justice

Funded by the Institute for Advanced Study at Warwick, this project is run in collaboration with colleagues from psychology and computer science.  The project will bring together academic and postgraduate colleagues in law, computer science and psychology to explore the application of new digital forensic technologies within the criminal justice context.  The aim is to develop these technologies in innovative and user-led ways, whilst also drawing on broader understandings of ethics and reliability, informed by psychology and law.  It will result in two or three interdisciplinary seminars with invited speakers and runs until July 2011.

Summer School 2010

The summer school will bring together doctoral students from law, women's studies, 
politics, sociology and anthropology (or appropriate disciplinary backgrounds) working on 
interdisciplinary gender and law issues in relation to development. The nucleus of the 
Summer School will be provided by MPhil/doctoral students at SEARCWL, UZ and 
Warwick University (although a limited number of doctoral students presently studying in 
the UK with interests in this area are also invited). Warwick students will not be required to
 pay a fee for attendance but are requested to apply to attend.

The focus for the Summer School is on developing methodologies and analytical 
frameworks for research on gender and law within diverse plural legal contexts with 
particular reference to Southern post colonial and European multicultural societies. It is 
research student focused and seeks to expand the skills of doctoral researchers in the area 
of gender and law. It will lay the foundation for future networking and collaboration. A 
number of leading external contributors, including international scholars from Africa, 
Norway and the UK with expertise in the area will be present and make contributions.
