The Centre for the Study of Emotion and Law is an interdisciplinary research hub drawing on a variety of approaches from Royal Holloway’s academic expertise in Psychology, Law, Media Arts, History, Geography, and other fields.

The Centre, which is co-directed by Professor Jill Marshall from the School of Law at Royal Holloway and by Professor Amina Memon from Psychology, shares an interest in how ‘emotion’ affects individuals and their fair treatment by legal frameworks, institutions, bureaucratic structures and processes and our research aims to study how policy, behaviour and systems can be adapted with this in mind. Individuals most deeply affected by these issues are at the centre of our work.

We welcome collaborations from outside academia as the Centre will serve as a hub of expertise for research, policy makers, practitioners, journalists, campaigners and
others who can benefit from our work.
