Centre for Research on Socio-Cultural Change

The Centre for Research on Socio-Cultural Change (CRESC) was a joint initiative between The University of Manchester and The Open University. After ten years of ESRC core funding ended in 2014, The University of Manchester and The Open University supported CRESC activity for three years of transition which came to an end in August 2017. The details of projects undertaken by CRSEC are listed under our six core themes: Infrastructures of Social Change; Reframing the Nation; Remaking Capitalism; Social Life of Methods; Trajectories of Participation and Inequality; and Urban Experiments
