Understanding Society is a major new research study designed to provide valuable new evidence about the people of the UK, their lives, experiences, behaviours and beliefs. Understanding Society is the largest study of its type in the world. Policymakers, scientists, researchers, research users and the general public will benefit from the insight this study will provide into the long term effects of social and economic change, the impact policy intervention has on us all, and the challenges facing our society and similar societies around the world. This joint ARK/NISRA seminar will introduce the new Understanding Society study and highlight its usefulness to academics, policy makers and everyone with an interest in the lives of the people in Northern Ireland. | Jonathan Burton became the Survey Manager for Understanding Society: the UK Household Longitudinal Study in September 2009. Before that time he was the Survey Manager of the British Household Panel Survey. He re-joined the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER) in July 2007, after a two year stint as Data Analyst and Data Manager at the Prime Minister’s Strategy Unit in the Cabinet Office. As well as working on the day-to-day management and administration of Understanding Society, Jon also engages in methodological research. His most recent work has been looking at the propensity of people to consent to data linkage. Jon has a PhD from the Department of Government, University of Essex. |
The seminar will be followed by a sandwich lunch
