Understanding UK social security policy, poverty and riches.
Applying and developing qualitative methods.
STUDYING SOCIAL SECURITY POLICY IN A (POST) PANDEMIC WORLD
My current research has two interrelated aims: (1) create new qualitative research methods fit for our (post) pandemic era, and (2) produce new insights and solutions on the (dis)functioning of the working-age social security system for people living with a long-term health condition or disability.
In this online space, I aim to share information about the work for participants, policymakers and researchers. I hope it is a useful space to access resources on social security benefits and qualitative research methods.
The research programme runs from January 2022 - August 2026 and is funded by the British Academy.
