We are delighted to announce that Voluntary Sector Studies Network (VSSN) and the Wales Instituted of Social and Economic Research and Data (WISERD) will jointly host a symposium to explore the role of community and voluntary organisations in polarisation in local communities, discussing:

– inclusion and exclusion within the community and voluntary sector,
– community cohesion, its drivers and obstacles,
– polarisation and political conflict in local civil society,
– community innovations for promoting unity and/or deliberative democracy,
– the roles that community and voluntary organisations play in reinforcing and/or resisting
polarisation.
