The social complexity of immigration and diversity
By developing complex computer-simulation models, Professor Fieldhouse and his team will seek to gain fresh insights into the social consequences of immigration and diversity in order to inform policy on the subject. The results will be used by researchers to engage with local and national policy advisers to help improve the social cohesion and resilience of the wider population.
