It must have been in one of the ISER seminars when we first met with Malcolm and kept meeting over coffee to give a break and have nice and interesting conversations about all sorts of things from travel to religion, social class, from 'going Dutch' to music and our migration backgrounds. I was impressed of his exceptionally extensive knowledge on broad range of topics. His modest and humble attitude and careful and gentle behaviour were his salient characteristics. He shared his self-made cakes with me and especially his carrot cakes over the afternoon tea were delicious. Our research on ethnic pay gap generated much interest by the media, policy makers and other stakeholders back in 2012 and afterwards. This research showed that Black, some Asian, and minority ethnic members of Britain were earning less than their White peers and that was mainly because of their concentration in low paid jobs. I remember our recent discussions about these persisting inequalities in our current societies. He leaves behind many other interesting studies. I am very sorry he left. Rest in peace Malcolm.
