New open-access paper for @youthstudies.bsky.social from my @leverhulme.ac.uk lme.ac.uk project

It explores how place influences working-class young people's transitions out of education in London, Rochdale & Morecambe

Will be presenting a broad-brush paper based on my current book project for @princetonupress.bsky.social at the @britsoci.bsky.social conf in Manchester next Thursday at 1.30pm, if anyone is about

The book is based on 62 interviews with working-class young people in London, Rochdale & Morecambe

A provocation for sixth formers in Rochdale today for a session on 'culture', following constant invocations of the 'pub' as an example of 'English culture' and a wider sentiment that cultures are fixed... rather than hybrid/fluid...

Ft amazing images from www.creativeblackcountry.co.uk/desi-pubs

Little table of how the working-class young people I interviewed in Rochdale & Morecambe identified their class in the initial demographic questionnaire I did with them. Of those who said working, very few could explain why (except A-Level sociology students in Rochdale)

Am I a quant person now?

Nice to get a physical copy of the @sociologicalreview.bsky.social Connected Sociologies Curriculum Project booklet

Was great working on this for four years. Some very good open-access resources on the website for teachers, students & academics
