The well-being of young adults in the “Next America”
Demographic change is a drama in slow motion, and the America of the early 21st century is undergoing two such dramas at the same time. Our population is en route to becoming majority non-White at the same time a record share of us are going gray. Either of these trends would be the dominant demographic story of this era.

To delineate a 'sociology of hackers', an introduction is provided to the nature of computer-mediated com…

This paper assesses a small‐scale study designed to illuminate the hitherto hidden processes underlying the underrepresentation of women and members of minority ethnic groups in the academic profession.

These studies have begun to acknowledge gender issu…

The analysis suggests that the belief in the rhetoric of equality in the chariers of institutions, the…
Minority ethnic groups and gender in access to higher education
This article analyses national data on admissions to higher education and demonstrates a variety of discrepancies, both gender and ‘race’ specific. Application to HE cannot be viewed separately from previous school experience: the outcome from earlier schooling is a set of qualifications which have a direct impact on the possibility of entering HE. Examination of detailed national data for home students who applied to universities for entry in 19…
