Please join us this Friday, 16th January at 3:00pm for a seminar with Professor Peter Brandon, an internationally recognised expert on welfare policy and social demography. He is Professor of Sociology at the University of Albany, the State University of New York, and has used the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to conduct research on immigrant children and families, welfare reform, childcare, and family diversity and change.

In his talk "Socio-economic disparities in the nature and context of pre-school childcare in the State of New York: some findings, plus some implications for Scotland".

Prof Brandon will discuss findings in relation to the quality of childcare provision in deprived neighbourhoods in New York and outline a comparative research agenda for Glasgow.

The seminar is free and open to the public. Please distribute widely to anyone interested in childcare, public policy and the analysis of administrative and big data.

Sincerely,
