Geographies of Ethnic Diversity and Inequalities (GEDI)

本项目旨在提供及时和有影响力的证据，说明种族多样性的增长方式，以及不同种族背景的人的不同和持续不平等的社区经历的本质。在哪里，为什么，社区的种族越来越多样化？形成这些局部模式的过程是什么？种族不平等是否扩大了？劣势的地理位置是什么？我们将通过创新地整合先前不同的关于种族多样性、居住隔离、种族不平等和内部移民的研究，来回答这些以及相关的问题。英国的人口、家庭和社区在民族和种族上日益混合和多样化。除了这些人口变化之外，COVID-19大流行、紧缩措施和英国脱欧等因素的不平衡影响，也暴露出人与人之间和地方之间持续存在的民族和种族劣势。人口普查提供了关于小地区少数民族人口的最全面的数据，因此，2021年数据的公布是了解地方一级社会变化的重要机会。项目团队将对2021年人口普查族裔群体数据进行快速反应和持续分析，并探索英格兰和威尔士（自1991年以来）随时间的变化，随着2021/22年人口普查数据的公布，将扩展到北爱尔兰和苏格兰。国家统计局（ONS）、该领域的英国和美国领先学者以及项目合作伙伴皇家地理学会（与IBG一起）和Runnymede Trust之间拟议的合作，汇集了一个具有重要集体经验和专业知识的团队。在中央和地方政府以及第三部门的项目咨询小组的支持下，该小组将探索紧迫的研究问题，推进学术文献，并为不同的用户群体提供丰富而有力的证据基础。这个为期38个月的项目有三个主要的、相互关联的工作包（wp），每个工作包都具有相当大的独创性。每个工作计划都与人口普查数据发布阶段，以及互补的学术产出和与影响相关的活动保持一致。WP1（种族多样性，隔离和混合）旨在绘制和分析新的，新兴的和稳定的种族多样性地理，通过考虑个人，家庭和人们居住的空间之间的混合层来更好地理解邻里过渡的动态，并探索种族，社会经济和年龄隔离如何相互关联。WP2（社会空间种族不平等）将记录、分析和解释当地种族不平等的程度和持久性，以及种族群体之间邻里剥夺的经历如何不同。WP3（内部移徙和（非）流动）将更加注意形成族裔居住模式的过程，包括内部移徙中族裔群体差异在改变邻里族裔集中和剥夺方面的作用。学术成果将包括在主要国际期刊上发表的文章、会议演讲和项目活动。在整个项目中，影响途径相互交织，以确保研究结果对一系列用户受益人（例如，升学部、住房和社区部、工作和养老金部、地方政府（LA）和第三部门分析师、查询公民）是可访问的、开放的和有用的。产出包括联合制作的国家统计局人口普查主题出版物、2021年人口普查简报、洛杉矶分析工具包（简报、“如何”指南、研讨会）、学校教育资源、知识交流活动和专用网络资源（产出、代码、交互式地图工具）。该项目具有巨大的潜力，可以改变政策、政治和公众对英国人口及其社区如何变化的理解。

This project aims to provide timely and impactful evidence on the ways in which ethnic diversity has grown, and the nature of the differing - and persistently unequal - neighbourhood experiences of people from different ethnic backgrounds. Where, and why, are neighbourhoods becoming more ethnically diverse? What are the processes that shape these local patterns? Have ethnic inequalities widened, and what is the geography of disadvantage? We will answer these, and related, questions through an innovative integration of previously disparate research strands on ethnic diversity, residential segregation, ethnic inequalities, and internal migration. The UK's population, households and neighbourhoods are becoming increasingly ethnically and racially mixed and diverse. Alongside these demographic changes, the uneven impacts of, for example, the COVID-19 pandemic, austerity measures, and Brexit, have shone a light on persistent ethnic and racial disadvantages, between people and across local areas. The Census provides the most comprehensive data available on small area ethnic group populations, and the publication of 2021 data thus represents an important opportunity to understand societal change at the local level. The project team will undertake a combination of rapid response and sustained analyses of 2021 Census ethnic group data and explore change over time (from 1991) in England and Wales, expanding to Northern Ireland and Scotland as 2021/22 Census data are published. The proposed collaboration between the Office for National Statistics (ONS), leading UK- and US-based scholars in the field, and project partners the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) and Runnymede Trust, brings together a team with significant collective experience and expertise. Supported by a Project Advisory Group from central and local government and the third sector, the team will explore pressing research questions, advance the scholarly literature, and generate a rich and robust evidence base for a diversity of user groups.This 38-month project has three main, inter-related, work packages (WPs), each of which offer considerable originality. Each WP is aligned with Census data publication phases, and with complementary academic outputs and impact-related activities. WP1 (Ethnic diversity, segregation and mixing) aims to map and analyse the new, emerging and stable geographies of ethnic diversity, to understand better the dynamics of neighbourhood transitions by considering layers of mixing between individuals, households and the spaces in which people live, and to explore how ethnic, socio-economic and age segregation inter-relate. WP2 (Socio-spatial ethnic inequalities) will document, analyse and explain the extent and persistence of local ethnic inequalities, and how experiences of neighbourhood deprivation vary between ethnic groups. WP3 (Internal migration and (im)mobility) will pay greater attention to the processes that shape ethnic residential patterns, including the role of ethnic group differences in internal migration in changing neighbourhood ethnic concentrations and deprivation.Academic outputs will include articles in leading international journals, conference presentations, and project events. Pathways to impact are interwoven throughout the project to ensure that the findings are accessible, open, and useful for a range of user beneficiaries (e.g., Departments for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, and Work and Pensions, Local Authority (LA) and third sector analysts, inquiring citizens). Outputs include co-produced ONS Census Topic Publications, 2021 Census briefings, LA analysis toolkit (briefings, 'how to' guide, workshops), school educational resources, knowledge exchange events, and a dedicated web resource (outputs, code, interactive mapping tool). The project has significant potential to transform policy, political and public understandings of how the UK's population, and its neighbourhoods, are changing.
