About the Centre
CSCY was established at the University of Sheffield in January 2002. It comprises members of university departments spread across four faculties and has a number of international partners from around the globe, creating opportunities for collaborative research on theoretical and substantive issues.
Our interdisciplinary approach brings together academics and researchers from sociology, education, criminology, law, health, social work and social policy, landscape, architecture, psychology, geography, nursing and midwifery, human communication sciences, dentistry, ScHARR, music, research in practice and the management school.
The Centre is keen to include children and young people in the research process and is actively involved in exploring and developing methodological approaches that can give 'voice' to children and young people.
