- Social inequality research using innovative interdisciplinary methodologies across Humanities and Social Sciences to understand historical contexts of inequalities affecting women, LGBTQ+ communities, migrants, and ethnic minorities, informing research needed to empower progress.
- Widening participation excellence exceeding ambitious targets for students from state schools, underrepresented groups, and low participation backgrounds, while accelerating diversity improvements in our community and leadership.
- Professional education reform addressing attainment gaps and ethical malpractice in professional education, creating frameworks for meaningful change at institutional and individual levels.
“Younger generations face the spectre of downward social mobility. A fundamental shift in the debate is required. It was needed before the Covid-19 crisis, and has become even more pressing now as the vulnerable in society are suffering most.”
Professor Lee Elliot-Major, Professor of Social Mobility at Exeter.
A monthly commitment of £333 fully funds a Widening Participation scholarship, transforming a young person’s trajectory and creating ripple effects of social mobility that benefit entire communities.
