A theoretical and methodological analysis

Two research programmes with the HSRC collaborated to produce this research monograph: the Social Cohesion and Identity Research Programme (SCI) led the study, working together with the Research Programme on the Social Aspects of HIV/AIDS and Health (SAHA).

Harriet Deacon is an independent consultant to the HSRC, Inez Stephney is a senior researcher in the Social Cohesion and Identity Research Programme with experience in the education, market research and heritage fields, and Sandra Prosalendis, who managed the project on behalf of the HSRC, is the deputy director of arts and culture in the Social Cohesion and Identity Policy Research Programme.
