During the August 2011 riots across the UK not only opportunistic media commentators and politicians were quick to utter their opinions about the causes of the violent destruction and the character of the rioters themselves; everyone seemed to have an opinion and these were quickly disseminated across YouTube, Twitter, BBM and the alike. With a few months now having passed by, how do we navigate through all these and how do we take a few steps back to encourage further reflection?
At a time when funders, activists, policy makers, scholars and others are increasingly calling for forms of publicly engaged social science research, CCIG launches a new Research Project: Creating Publics.
