Welcome to the
MaCTRI Blog Site
MEaP Academy Community Training & Research Institute
The work presented in this blogsite is the legacy of the Critical Race and Ethnicity Research Cluster that sat within Manchester Metropolitan University’s (ManMet) Research Centre: Health, Psychology and Communities’ Positive Communities Research Group (Thriving Communities). This research group and its clusters no longer exist within ManMet’s research priorities.
As a result, The Critical Race and Ethnicity Research Cluster has been taken over by MaCTRI (MEaP Academy Community Training & Research Institute), a community organisation that is passionately interested in training and research in a community context.
MaCTRI is an Open Awards Centre
