Session: 10 - Tuesday 6th July AM (9.15 - 12.45)
Title: Research methods for understanding ethnic population trends and processes
Name: John Stillwell
Affiliation: University of Leeds
Abstract Details
This session will demonstrate the alternative methods that researchers adopt in studying structure, characteristics and dynamics of ethnic population. Presenters were funded under the ESRC "Understanding Population Trends And Processes" (UPTAP) programme, a multi-disciplinary capacity building initiative involving early or middle-career researchers working on projects using data from a range of secondary sources as well as user fellows from non-academic organisations undertaking short projects with academics at centres of excellence. UPTAP's second round was specifically directed at projects with an "ethnic" dimension and this session will illustrate methods used to analyse secondary data from different sources.
