Dynamic belonging – how student belonging changes over time for first-generation students
Whilst students’ sense of belonging (SoB) – an important concept in relation to student success – is accepted as changing over time, most existing research investigates this concept as a static phenomenon, using single, snapshot measurements. This mixed-method study utilises a longitudinal approach to measure students’ sense of belonging at multiple points throughout the first year of undergraduate study. 101 students from two English universitie…
Skills, Spatial Polarization, and the Politics of the Knowledge Economy: Introducing the Regional Human Capital Database
Spatial inequalities in human capital are reshaping the politics of high-income democracies. However, comparative research on the political consequences of spatial inequality is constrained by a lack of data that is geographically detailed and cross-nationally comparable. This letter introduces the Regional Human Capital Database (RHCD), an open-access dataset covering 60,000 units in twenty wealthy democracies from the 1980s onward. The RHCD off…
Multidimensionality Matters: The Implications of Educational Hierarchy and Differentiation for Intergenerational Mobility in Europe
The effects on social mobility of stratifying pupils into different educational pathways have been debated for decades. We intervene in this debate by showing that stratification in secondary schooling is multidimensional. The extent of differentiation into separate tracks is distinct from hierarchy between tracks. To address data limitations in existing research, we collect novel data on education policies from 1945 onward for 16 European countr…
Why are the highly educated more sympathetic towards welfare recipients
Stigmatising stereotypes about welfare recipients play a crucial role in building public support for welfare retrenchment. Existing literature finds that the highly educated are more sympathetic towards welfare recipients. This is surprising given the economic advantage associated with educational attainment. Furthermore, educational attainment has increased even as sympathy for welfare recipients has declined. I address these puzzles using three…
Weight stigma, welfare stigma, and political values: Evidence from a representative British survey
Moving on up? How Social Origins Shape Geographic Mobility within Britain's Higher Managerial and Professional Occupations
This article presents the first longitudinal analysis of social and geographic mobility into Britain's higher managerial and professional occupations. Using linked census records from the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study, we find that those from advantaged social origins are substantially more likely to make long-distance residential moves, implying that geographic mobility is a correlate of advantaged social origins rather than …
The Unintended Consequences of Quantifying Quality: Does Ranking School Performance Shape the Geographical Concentration of Advantage
In this article we investigate whether quantifying school performance can have the unintended consequence of increasing the spatial concentration of advantage. Combining research on residential segregation with the sociology of quantification, we argue that ranking school performance may induce affluent parents to sort into areas with higher-ranked schools. We explore this hypothesis by analyzing linked decennial census data from 1981 to 2011 to …
Ageing and the economy: A literature review of political and policy mechanisms
Population ageing, and the decline in the working-age population, represent a profound global demographic shift. What political consequences do ageing populations have for the economies of advanced democracies? To address this question, we carry out a wide-ranging, systematic literature review using network-based community detection algorithms and manual coding to select almost 150 articles. We find that research in this area typically focuses on…
The Rhetoric of Recessions: How British Newspapers Talk about the Poor When Unemployment Rises, 1896-2000
Recessions appear to coincide with an increasingly stigmatising presentation of poverty in parts of the media. Previous research on the connection between high unemployment and media discourse has often relied on case studies of periods when stigmatising rhetoric about the poor was increasing. We build on earlier work on how economic context affects media representations of poverty by creating a unique dataset that measures how often stigmatising…
