Social class inequalities continue to persist in GCSE outcomes for young people in England in the 1990s/2000s and early 2010s - new paper w/ @profbigvern & @ellen_boeren now online -
tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
Along with @inequalccsr, @DharmiKapadia, and @JamesNazroo, we find that ethnic inequalities in health in later life persist across more than 20 years of harmonised social survey data. Our open access paper can be found here -

We’re observing clear and persistent ethnic inequalities in health in later life. Early findings from our research project are detailed in new video (available here m.youtube.com/watch?v=qosNdW…) and UK Data Service Impact blog post below

Such a refreshing format for presenting quantitative research in education inequalities - statistical findings interspersed with readings of quotes from teachers and pupils in complementary research. Putting a voice to the aggregated numbers in a dataset.
Our @MorayHouseCLPL @ciannelli1 knowledge exchange event about understanding the attainment gap was such a great opportunity to disseminate @U_Inequalities research and engage in conversation with (head)teachers, early years practitioners & (non)governmental representatives!
Winding down from a brilliant Social Stratification Research Seminar to mark its 50th anniversary. Very pleased to be part of it and heading back to Edinburgh full of ideas for taking my research forward en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social…

Different regions, localities, labour markets, people have different supply & demand needs. No one size fits all in addressing worklessness teapaw.org/ONS/status/78068625615…
