NEST builds on the work of a number of the Centres, Groups, and Programs currently in existence within the Faculty of Social Science.

The eight Western Research Centres in the Faculty of Social Science govern NEST:

  • Centre for Climate Change, Sustainable Livelihoods and Health

  • Centre for Research on Migration and Ethnic Relations
  • Centre for Research on Social Inequality
  • Centre for the Study of Political Behaviour
  • Centre for Transitional Justice and Post-Conflict Reconstruction

  • Centre for Research on Health Equity and Social Inclusion
  • Centre for Research & Education on Violence Against Women & Children
  • Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction
