Community Organisation Research Group
What Are We Doing?
The Community Organisation Research Group at Lincoln International Business School researches community organisation, self-organisation and development within Third Sector organisations, multi-agency networks, and community groups. The group focuses on community-based research in Active Citizenship, Wellbeing, and Community Development. We have led national and international work on community-based learning, community-university partnerships, and strengthening civil society.
Why Is It Important?
Business Schools, and community-based research more generally, are both increasingly being recognised by Policy-makers and Practitioners as having an important role to play in supporting Third Sector, voluntary, and community organisations. This research is part of the commitment the University, College and Business School makes to be an active part of local, national, and international communities and to create impact within society through research. It is also part of the School’s wider agenda of ‘Responsible Business’ and of engagement with the wider business sector, including Third Sector and non-profit organisations.
How Are We Different?
We build community partnerships e.g. with community-learning providers, health partners, social enterprises, and community groups to foster community engagement and to co-develop research that incorporates community issues and concerns within wider debates.
