Professor Nick Buck, former Director of ISER, paid tribute to his outstanding contribution to ISER’s work over three decades.
‘Malcolm arrived at ISER near the very start in October 1989, and has been an excellent colleague throughout that time, contributing substantially to the academic and social life of the Institute. He came to work on the British Household Panel Survey where he had a significant impact on the study design and the questionnaire.
He went on to undertake innovative work on the impact of new household communication technologies on daily lives including survey projects funded by BT and a cross-national comparative project funded by the EU. This was at the stage when these technologies were still quite novel.
Over his time at ISER Malcolm made a major contribution to maintaining the strength of sociological research in ISER. He has published significant work in recent years contributing to the understanding of gender and ethnicity inequalities in the labour market as well as inequalities in outcomes from participation in higher education.’
