Overview
I am interested in theoretical and empirical work on social change, citizenship and inequalities. My methodological interests follow from this and cover longitudinal research methods (broadly defined), comparative methods and case studies.
I Direct the WISERD ESRC Centre on Civil Society: Changing perspectives on Civic Stratification and Civil Repair. The Centre is undertaking a series of research projects that address processes of social change and their impact on individuals, institutions, communities and civil society. The research programme is also addressing the impact of the Covid pandemic on social relations. I am currently focusing on the Foundational Economy, Citizenship, Social Innovation and City Regions alongside research addressing Individualism and AI. The research programme adopts an interdisciplinary approach to comparative research at different spatial scales.
I am also a Co-Investigator on the IDEAL study. This includes work looking at class and health inequalities in later life, generational relations, and changes in social engagement and participation as people age. Examples include research on wellbeing among older people and the networks and relations of people living with dementia.
