Timescapes
The 'Timescapes' study is the first major Qualitative Longitudinal Study to be funded in the UK.
The five year programme explores how personal and family relationships unfold over time and through life, and how those relationships shape who we are.

DEEPS
The Disability Equality in English Primary Schools (DEEPS) project investigates the possible origins and emergence of disablist attitudes within childhood by exploring primary age children's understanding about disability.
In addition, the research will examine the role that teaching in mainstream English primary schools currently plays in promoting 'disability equality' amongst non-disabled children.
