My research employs longitudinal cohort modelling to examine the way in which key life events such as residential mobility in childhood and adolescence impact upon health and educational outcomes in these periods. My research is situated in an advanced quantitative framework and principally conducted on the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, a Bristol based cohort of children born in the early 1990’s, and draws on elements from the epidemiological, educational, geographical, and broad social science disciplines.
