The School of Social Sciences聽is launching their ambitious "探花直播 2029" project, which will see the city mapped out like never before to generate a big picture of life during the next decade of dramatic change.

Through applied research into the people and places of the UK's second city, 探花直播 2029 will spotlight the social issues facing 探花直播 today, and allow staff and students at the School of Social Sciences to embark on bespoke, focused research projects aimed at tackling these problems working with people and organisations.听听

Why 探花直播?

探花直播 has been an innovative and radical city.

The pioneering local government that emerged in the nineteenth century under Joseph Chamberlain was replicated by other cities in the UK and across the world; an inclusive capitalism was promoted by George Cadbury aligned with Quaker principles which led to the establishment of Bourneville Village Trust to provide decent housing for workers at the local chocolate factory; and partnership of local government with the private sector to herald urban regeneration after the recession of the 1980s with landmark developments such as Brindley Place 鈥� the new city centre neighbourhood, the International Convention Centre including Symphony Hall, the Mailbox, new Bull Ring Centre and the symbolic New Street Station 鈥� signal an era of renewal and confidence.

Yet the next 10 years of the city to 2029 promises to be as exciting as the previous 150. Landmark developments such as the new Curzon Street HS2 station in 2026 will mean that London is only 46 minutes away by train, the Commonwealth Games in 2022 will link the diaspora communities to the globe and the 鈥淏ig City Plan鈥� will change the city completely.

The redevelopment of 探花直播 has been a constant throughout its history. However it is the people and politics which needs to be considered alongside regeneration. The city has a population of 1.4 million and within it can rightfully claim to be one of the most ethnically diverse and youthful urban centres in the world; a place marked by income polarisation and health inequalities as well as increasing levels of violent crime. It is and will continue to be a global city and is shaped by supranational issues of migration, security and the environment.

In short, 探花直播 is a research laboratory that provides the basis for an innovative social science enquiry during the next decade of change.

探花直播 2029 which will be an ethnographic project mapping neighbourhoods and places across the city to identify pressing societal challenges. Deploying mixed methodology but emphasising qualitative inquiry, 探花直播 2029 will generate a rich source of data on the city as it navigates physical, structural and social change. The project will be located in the School of Social Sciences but will work across 探花直播 faculties and schools, and in partnership with students and communities (trained up as peer researchers) and stakeholders (focusing on key issues).

Apart from generating excellent research outputs, 探花直播 2029 will close the gap between聽探花直播 and the people it serves fulfilling the ambition of being the University for 探花直播. This will be a transformational project for 探花直播, the Business, Law and Social Sciences faculty, and the School of Social Sciences and create a platform for聽探花直播 Faculties to work together. It will be overseen by the Head of School of Social Sciences, Harris Beider.

探花直播 Data Lab

The proposed Data Lab project is a project that will work in tandem with 探花直播 2029.

It examines the important social issues facing 探花直播 using large data sets, investigating questions which are relevant to the public and private sector during the next decade of dramatic structural and social change. This project will target its research questions in partnership with communities, stakeholders and students.

In order to support and build upon the 探花直播 2029 project the Data Lab will investigate, using quantitative methods, current issues which impact the population of 探花直播 and more widely. These include core issues that come from living in a modern vibrant multi-cultural city such as, the impact of socio-economic status, gender and race.

The project due to commence in 2020 will deliver academic outputs in the form of peer reviewed publications and impact case studies to REF2021 and beyond. The Data Lab will also aim to provide a public facing service investigating questions, which are of interest to the public and the private sector.
