Southampton Law School launched the Stefan Cross Centre for Women, Equality & Law (SCC) in September 2018, thanks to a generous donation from Southampton Law School alumnus, Mr Stefan Cross KC. The SCC provides a forum to study the structural, societal, legal and regulatory issues associated with gender discrimination from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Our research seeks to better understand the roots of the phenomenon, with the aim of promoting more effective ways to address it.
The SCC aims to disseminate its research through a variety of channels (including academic publications, conferences, and participation in government consultation processes) to inform policy, drive change and, ultimately, reduce discrimination.
