Broad and varied in disciplinary orientation, with interdisciplinary integration particularly welcome, including legal institutions, legal philosophy, constitutional theory, applied ethics (including professional ethics, AI ethics, machine ethics, robot ethics, bioethics), regulatory governance studies, public administration, socio-legal studies, science & technology studies, human-computer interaction, risk governance studies and organisational management’
