What's new?
'Year Three of our Leverhulme Research Project entitled Faith and Traditional Capital: Defining the Public scope of Religious Capital is now underway. We conducted some 25 focus groups across the Greater Manchester region, and have now transferred the key themes and ideas that emerged from the focus groups into a quantitative survey measurement tool. This is in the process of being completed by approximately 1500 survey respondents who have been drawn from groups similar to those who participated in the earlier research. The final findings of the research will be publised towards the middle of 2010.
Meanwhile we are very pleased to welcome Greg Smith as our interim researcher who is covering Rana Jawad's maternity leave. His knowledge and expertise has been invaluable to the development of the survey tool.
