Community, Culture & Place

The Community, Culture and Place cluster includes social science researchers looking at community dynamics, influences and responses. The notion of community is used as a flexible concept, constantly evolving, rather than a static entity. We employ a range of qualitative and quantitative research methods. Our interests span local, national and international contexts.
