Professor Mihaela Kelemen and Dr Anita Mangan, RI Social Sciences, have been awarded a research grant by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) for a nine-month project entitled 'Exploring Personal Communities: A Review of Volunteering Processes'. The funding comes from the Connected Communities programme, a major new cross-council research initiative, led by the AHRC.

The project, run in conjunction with Sue Moffat, Director of New Vic Borderlines, explores the role of volunteering in the development of personal communities and the dynamics of volunteering work.

The novelty of the project lies in its multi-disciplinary and critical nature, and specifically, in the interplay between its theoretical foundations and the artistic/experiential research that will be carried out at the New Vic Theatre.
