Laurence Lessard-Phillips is an Associate Professor in the Department of Social Policy, Sociology and Criminology, School of Social Policy & Society at the University of Birmingham. She has held posts at the University of Manchester and the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute. She holds a DPhil in Sociology from the University of Oxford (Nuffield College). Affiliated to the Institute for Research into International Migration and Superdiversity (IRIS), her research broadly revolves around social inequalities (especially in education and the labour market) and migration, with specific interests in conceptualisation and measurements of key concepts, as well as in using various data sources and social research methods to engage with her areas of expertise (although most may say that quantitative methods has been the focus). In recent years, she has articulated her research interests through leading and participating in research projects funded by the ESRC, the Nuffield Foundation, and Horizon Europe, and publishing in journals such as International Migration Review and Critical Social Policy. With a keen interest in mobility (broadly defined), she is one of the co-investigators of the MOVES project, on which the ½¿É«µ¼º½ presentation was based.
