Dear All,

Copied below is a flier from the BSA relating to an event for PG students. I 
thought that this might be of interest to PG members of this study group or 
for non-PG members, students at your institutions.

Best wishes,

Angharad.

The BSA Postgraduate forum is pleased to announce Professor Anthony Heath

exclusive events are designed specifically for postgraduate students to meet 
well-respected sociologists in an informal and interactive setting. 

Anthony Heath is presently Professor of Sociology at Oxford University and 
Professorial Fellow at Nuffield College. In this intimate setting, Anthony will 
discuss his most recent book Unequal chances: Ethnic Minorities in Western 
Labour Markets published by Oxford University Press (2007) which focuses on 
the experiences of the 'second generation', children of immigrants, in a range 
of affluent western countries, such as Western Europe, North America, 
Australia and Israel. 

There will also be a discussion about ethnicity, nationalism, identity and social 
cohesion in the current climate. These are all topics on which Professor Heath 
has written recent reports for government. Questions and feedback from 
audience members are encouraged.
