Dr Pier-Luc Dupont

My work is mainly driven by a will to unveil the institutional sources of racial and other inequalities, as well as to theorise legal and political action toward social justice. My doctoral research, conducted at the University of Valencia Human Rights Institute and supported by the Spanish Ministry of Education, examined the interplay between internationally recognised equality rights, public policies and racism in the European context. Since 2017, as part of the Horizon 2020 ETHOS project, I have conducted UK and comparative studies on the structural determinants of socioeconomic precarity; the political representation of minorities; the legal protection of the rights to housing, education and vote; and the discursive construction of justice in debates around the Grenfell fire, the education of Muslims and the commemoration of British history.
