Adults with Learning Difficulties in England 2003/4 , www.ic.nhs.uk/pubs/learndiff2004 -----Original Message----- From: The Disability-Research Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Liz Ellis Sent: 05 December 2006 21:06 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Learning Difficulties, Socioeconomic Class, the Social Model and Quantitative Research Sorry for the long subject line. I'm putting forward a proposal for a Ph.D and I have been reliably informed that I have no chance of funding if it's qualitative. That said, there hasn't been any research looking at the possible correlation between being labelled as having a learning difficulty and socioeconomic status and this is something which would probably benefit from a quantitative analysis. If anyone can point me in the direction of any (preferably uk) research that looks at learning difficulties from a broadly social model perspective that uses qualitative methods (I know, I'm not asking much!), I'd appreciate it as I seem to be drawing a blank. Many thanks in advance, Liz Ellis ________________End of message______________________ This Disability-Research Discussion list is managed by the Centre for Disability Studies at the University of Leeds (www.leeds.ac.uk/disability-studies).
