Researcher
Alison joined NatCen in 1991, after completing an M.Phil. in
Sociology at Nuffield College, Oxford. Her core areas of research
are social, political and moral attitudes and values.
As Head of Society and Social Change, Alison manages the team
responsible for the British Social Attitudes Survey series. These
annual surveys focus on people's attitudes towards a wide range of
issues, and the results form the basis of an annual book, published
by Sage.
Alison is closely involved with the International Social Survey
Programme (ISSP), a cross-national study of social attitudes, and
is the ESRC-funded UK Co-ordinator for the 2002 to 2012 rounds of
the European Social Survey.
She makes regular radio and television contributions concerning
social trends, and was a member of the 2003 Fabian Society
Commission on the Future of the Monarchy.
