Specialist social issues

CSR.Salford members are all active researchers who have built a reputation in their specialist areas over a number of years. Staff members have each been recognised as making a significant contribution towards developing their individual fields. Within their specialist areas, team members conduct research, theoretical development, publish and present at conferences and to policy/practice audiences.

These individual specialisms have provided the Centre with four particular clusters of expertise where researchers work together in proposing and undertaking research projects, organising symposia, and collaborating on a wide range of publications.

The four clusters of expertise on social issues are:

• Crime and criminal justice – including the Salford University Centre for Prison Studies
• Communities, localities and inclusion – including Community Finance Solutions
• Media, technology and popular culture
• Social interaction
