The Global Informality Project (GIP) is an interdisciplinary research project led by the FRINGE Centre with support of the UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies. It is the first [[Global Informality Project|multimedia online resource]] that explores the social and cultural complexity of informal practices and structures from a global perspective, set up in 2014. Through its comparative and ethnographic investigations, the project explores multiple moralities, the resilience of informal practices, their legitimacy and institutional causes as well as the cultural and historical contexts of informality. Over the years, this unique collection of practices has grown into a comprehensible, easily accessible resource for audiences in academia, policy-making, businesses and the public.

We will be interested in the colloquial names of such practices and the contexts in which they are recognised, articulated and performed.
