Lecturer, University of York
Daniel McArthur is a lecturer in Education at the University of York. He studies the causes and consequences of economic inequalities, focusing on the roles that education, place, and policy play in the reproduction of advantage and disadvantage. He has examined these processes in a range of contexts, from the impact of school rankings on residential segregation, to the links between university expansion and geographical inequalities, and the effects of reforms to secondary education on educational mobility.
His ADR fellowship project examines the impacts of unaffordable housing on social mobility, aiming to understand whether rising housing costs worsen the educational and labour market outcomes of low income children compared with their more advantaged peers.
He will use data from the Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) database, employing rigorous methods for causal inference to help researchers and policymakers understand the role housing plays in shaping educational and economic inequalities.
