WISERD is seeking an experienced researcher to work on a project within the WISERD Civil Society research centre. The project will explore the relationships between participation in higher education and engagement in civil society, especially at the local level; and will consider questions such as: do university graduates play a distinctive role in the institutions of civil society? It will also examine the extent to which the institutional shift from an elite to a mass system of higher education has affected the roles that graduates play in civil society; and will analyse the extent to which distinctive national (or more local) patterns in these relationships can be distinguished in the constituent countries of the UK.
