A 5-year collaborative programme of research tackling and reducing health inequalities. NEW WEBSITE COMING SOON!
Building on 15 years of impactful research carried out by the team behind the ESRC International Centre for Lifecourse Studies in Society and Health, the ESRC Centre for Lifecourse Health Equity (Equalise) is led from University College London and supported by an outstanding multi-disciplinary team of researchers and associates at City St George’s, University of London, and the Universities of Glasgow, Strathclyde, Essex and Toulouse III Paul Sabatier in France.
The Centre is also working in partnership with a team of experts in local and national government and a wide range of health equity focused advocacy and voluntary groups including the Health Foundation, Race Equality Foundation, Carers Trust, Eurocarers, City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, Disability Rights UK, Early Education and Childcare Coalition, National Literacy Trust, Women’s Budget Group, The Poverty Alliance, Skills and Education Group, and Voluntary Health Scotland.
The Centre’s research has 5 key themes:
• Reducing inequalities in learning and development opportunities
• Work and health over the lifecourse
• Care, health and wellbeing over the lifecourse
• Place-based inequalities
• Research and policy synthesis
This 5-year (2024-2029) collaborative programme of research led by Yvonne Kelly and Anne McMunn at UCL and Rebecca Lacey at City St George's, will find solutions to clearly identified and well understood health inequalities.
