PERM brings together researchers working on population, ethnicity, religion and migration. These topics are actively researched within CCSR and more widely across the School of Social Sciences and beyond. The aim of the group is to provide a forum for sharing work and ideas and encouraging collaboration in developing new research.

Other Activities
In addition to the Seminar Series PERM regularly supports and helps organise conference events. We also run an active mailing list (currently over 90 strong) providing an opportunity for colleagues to disseminate and hear about information on relevent research and events. Where there is demand (e.g. in response to a new funding call) we can also organise meetings to enable colleagues to come together to discuss research ideas at an emergent stage when they will benefit from feedback and when there may be potential for collaborations.
