From research on technicolor to bullying in schools, from the social, economic and religious constraints on women and domestic service in the 19th century to exploring the formation of a new class of materials based on N-heterocyclic carbens – the research projects at Queen’s in the Faculty of Arts and Science are as diverse as we are. What they all have in common is that they are driving to solve the problems of tomorrow with the solutions they find today – with our students right there in the middle of each project. Have a look for yourself, find a project – find a solution.
