Dr Michelle Jackson has received a grade of `outstanding` for her End of Award Report on her Mid-Career ESRC Fellowship. An outstanding grade indicates that a project has fully met its objectives and has provided an exceptional research contribution well above average or very high in relation to the level of the award.
Michelle Jackson was awarded an ESRC Mid-Career Fellowship in October 2006 for two years. The project examined the relative importance of performance and choice in the creation of class, ethnic and sex inequalities in entry to A-level and university education. Interest was in studying how far inequalities have changed over time, and whether the relative importance of performance and choice in creating these inequalities changes over time.
The project was based on the statistical analysis of large-scale, nationally representative datasets. It was part of a comparative study, comparing educational inequalities cross-nationally. More information on the project is available at www.primaryandsecondaryeffects.co.uk
