Crossing the line: Finishing my PhD (part 1)

William Shankley, UK Data Service Data Impact Fellow, recently completed his Sociology PhD at The University of Manchester. Across three blogs, he reviews how his PhD (which, in part, used 2011 Census data) went. In this first part, he looks at the challenge he faced.

Discussion Paper from one of our Data Impact Fellows

Matteo Sandi is one of our UK Data Service Data Impact Fellows. He has recently co-authored and published a discussion paper on the CEP website concerning one of his current research projects looking into UK schools which have converted to academies and whether they have used exclusion as a method to shape their pool of test-taking students.

We’re excited to be able to share the great work of one of our UK Data Service Impact Fellows. Look out for his forthcoming blog entry.
