Abstract
This chapter seeks to outline a future research agenda for social rights that (a) reclaims social rights as legal rights and (b) exposes the structural flaws that undermine the recognition of social rights as legal rights. It draws on recent insights and interdisciplinary methods that have significant potential when applied to social welfare law, policy and practice across the UK. It is argued that building a future research agenda for social welfare law using a human rights lens requires a two-stage approach. First, research must address the systemic and structural inadequacy of the legal recognition of social rights as legal rights and continue to propose solutions to close this gap. Second, adopting a critical interdisciplinary lens helps make visible how underlying systemic and structural issues have led to exclusionary practices in the enjoyment of social rights.
