Exploring Ethnicity through National Datasets
The webinar will focus on secondary, quantitative data. It will take place on Teams on the 19th of September from 10:00 – 11:30. The speakers will be:
- Stephen Jivraj and Momoko Nishikido who will examine how an ethnic group question was introduced to the Census form and how it has evolved. They will present data showing the growth of diversity in England and Wales over the last 30 years and challenge notions of increased ethnic segregation.
- Lucinda Platt who will discuss using longitudinal surveys to study ethnicity, focusing on using Understanding Society, MCS, the ONS LS and Next Steps to examine questions of identity, aspiration and social mobility.
- Kitty Lymperopulou who will discuss using the Ministry of Justice Data First datasets to research ethnicity and the justice system.
Each talk will be followed by a brief question-and-answer section.
The webinar will be chaired by Alita Nandi, Professor at the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) and quantitative social scientist conducting research in the areas of ethnicity and gender.
This is a free event.
The speakers will provide recordings of their talks which will be available after the webinar through the NCRM website. You can subscribe to our newsletter to be notified when this goes live: newsletter.
