Faculty of Arts, Business, Law and Economics
Roger Burrows is Professor of Global Inequalities (part-time) at the University of Bristol, Emeritus Professor of Cities at Newcastle University, and Visiting Professor of Sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London. He is also an Adjunct Professor in the School of Social Sciences at Adelaide. He studied for a BSc (Hons) in Economics, Sociology and Statistics followed by an MSc in Social Research Methods, both at the University of Surrey and managed to secure his first lecturing post after this. He has been working in UK higher education since 1984, including periods at: Kingston Polytechnic; North East London Polytechnic; the University of Surrey; the University of Teesside; the University of York (where he worked for 17 years, including spells as both Co-Director of the Centre for Housing Policy and as the Head of the Department of Sociology); Goldsmiths, University of London (where he was Pro-Warden (PVC) for Interdisciplinary Development and the Head of the School of Culture & Society); and, until recently, at Newcastle, where he had an interdisciplinary research and teaching role, bringing together work on urban studies from across campus.Although primarily a sociologist, he is also committed to interdisciplinary working across the arts, humanities and the social sciences more broadly and also has a keen interest in creative and social technologies. About one-half of his published outputs have been in the field of housing and urban studies with the rest being variously concerned with: digital cultures; health and social inequalities; the social life of methods; the sociology of higher education and various other topics. He is the author or co-author of some 160 articles, chapters, books and reports.Between 2002-2005 he was the co-editor of Housing Studies. Between 2005-2007 he led the UK ESRC E-Society Programme. He is currently on the editorial boards of both Body & Society and Theory, Culture & Society. He was an output assessor for the Social Policy and Social Work Unit of Assessment in the 2014 UK REF and is playing an interdisciplinary role in REF 2021. He has supervised 19 PhD students to successful completion and is keen to supervise more.
The topics investigated have been varied but include:
- the impact of unsustainable homeownership on children, families and health;
- residential mobility in the social rented sector;
- the geodemographics industry and the social implications of geo-locative technologies more generally;
- the use of digital technologies by people with chronic illnesses;
- the impact of the 'super-rich' on neighbourhoods in London;
- the use of metrics in higher education;
- neoreactionary urban imaginaries;
- the social geography of residential basement development in London; and
- the social life of methods.
