Educational & Health Impacts of Socio-Ethnic Migration & Neighbourhood Dynamics in Scotland (E-MiNDS)
This project will achieve a step-change in the scientific rigour applied to ethnicity research. Applying cutting-edge quantitative techniques to a unique combination of high-quality Scottish datasets, we shall open-up new avenues for ethnicity/inequality-research, and develop novel social-statistical methods that will have applications in other contexts. We shall follow 270,000 individuals over a twenty-year period, linking the greatly-underutilised Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) to a rich combination of data on neighbourhood composition, health, house prices and education. This will allow us to map-out the individual life-trajectories and health outcomes of persons identified as Catholic in 1991, compare these trajectories with those of persons from different ethnic/religious backgrounds, and shed light on questions about the extent to which long-term discrepancies in social mobility and health outcomes are driven by ethnicity/religion and/or neighbourhood effects.
Scholarship details:
The LKAS E-MiNDS (“Educational & Health Impacts of Socio-Ethnic Migration & Neighbourhood Dynamics in Scotland”) scholarship includes a student stipend of £13,726 per 2 annum, plus a fee waiver, plus £5,300 per annum for conferences attendance and research costs. The student will be based in Urban Studies, University of Glasgow, and be linked to the ESRC LDOES project (Location Dynamics, Owner-occupation and Ethnicity in Scotland). It is anticipated that the first year of the 4-year studentship will involve a substantial quantitative research training element, leading to a research methods Masters degree (e.g. MRes Urban Research).
