Current research interests
My research interest lies with the study of human development in context, in particular the study of risk and resilience, the realization of individual potential in a changing socio-historical context, social equalities in attainment, health and well-being, and the intergenerational transmission of (dis)advantage.
Research priorities
Pathways and mechanisms: Cumulative and additive social risk exposures (e.g. transient v. persistent poverty). Intergenerational influences. | Methodological issues: Methods for examining change over time including longitudinal effects studies. Need to define poverty. Need to study social gradients as well as poverty. Multi-level studies - Society, Family & Individual.
