Community Action Research Programme (CARP)
CARP also hosts a portfolio of emergent work that is interested in understanding how political practices, including public protests, psycho-political enactments and meaning making by subaltern groups, may shape and influence cultures of violence and peace. Currently, this research is lead through the Social Anatomy of (non-) Violent Protests Project which is contributing to the evidence base and theoretical platform from which public violence prevention policy and practice may be informed.
