• English in the Developing World In developmental contexts, we need to understand the tensions between the old models of power that saw  the imposition of English, the emerging dynamics created by globalisation and the complex factors that constitute people's choices.  This requires understanding the full implications of English provision across political, economic
  and socio-cultural spheres.  This project sets out to understand, and explore fully these complex relationships and identify the full potential  of the language in development. Researchers: Jamie Bartlett Peter Bradwell 3 BlogPosts 2 Bookmarks 11 Themes

• Happy Families Demos have partnered up with Relate to explore how happiness is experienced in every day family life. Happiness is rising up the political agenda, but the debate focuses on how to measure it - we want to get beyond that and explore the factors that impact on people daily and question whether the government is really best placed to improve peoples' happiness. 2 BlogPosts 4 Bookmarks 15 Themes
• Healthy Conversations We know that the doctor-patient relationship is changing. Sources of health information have multiplied and the GP’s monopoly on knowledge is wobbling. But as we move from paternalism to ‘patient-centred’ how should we think about professionalism and expertise? What are the advantages and challenges of patients and the public playing a more active role in their own healthcare? As the questions patients ask of their doctors become more complicated, how do conversations with doctors need to change? 6 BlogPosts 1 Bookmark 14 Themes
