York's PhD in Socio–Legal Studies is at the vanguard of a growing number of postgraduate programs in Europe and North America in interdisciplinary legal studies. Our PhD is the first such doctoral program in Canada not based in a law school. This exciting, interdisciplinary program builds on York's pioneering Law and Society and Criminology programs and its tradition of interdisciplinary research. Contributing faculty are leaders in the areas of international and domestic human rights, socio– historical approaches to law, transnational policing, immigration and border security, indigenous rights, global financial crime, and gender, sexuality, and the law. facebook twitter yfile Search site search button Faculty of Graduate Studies Events and Deadlines Feb 11 Thu 10:00 am Shut Up and Write!
