Session: 55 - Thursday 8th July AM (9.15 - 12.45)
Title: Researching the Third Sector
Name: John Mohan
Affiliation: University of Southampton
Abstract Details
The session introduces 4 key elements of the TSRC's research programme:
1) The construction of large-scale panel datasets on third sector organisations, principally registered charities, to facilitate complex analysis of change over time; 2) A programme of longitudinal qualitative work ('Real Times'), tracking third sector organisations over time: we discuss the design issues and dilemmas, and initial reflections on the research process and early findings. 3) The identification and 'micro-mapping' of 'below-radar' community-based organisations, which are often neglected in work on the third sector. 4) Evaluating the distinctive contribution and 'impact' of the sector.
