Research Fellow
Prior to moving to the UK, Marc worked for the University of Auckland in New Zealand on research on environmental management and the University of Melbourne in Australia on research on the use of health services by ethnic minority groups. Between 1998 and 2004, he worked in applied research for various government bodies on the experiences of marginalised social groups such as young people looked after in foster care and homeless people living in temporary accommodation. He has conducted several studies in Newham in East London and compiled a comprehensive report on demographic, economic and social trends in this area. Marc also worked in Guatemala as a human rights observer in 2000/01 and continues to be an active campaigner for human rights there. As part of an MSc Development Studies completed in 2004, Marc wrote his dissertation on how the development of racialised ideologies of the nation and citizenship in Brazil influenced identity formation and social movement mobilisation.
Marc’s research interests are in the meanings of race and ethnicity, in particular on how social identities and labour markets are being shaped by patterns of migration and increasing diversity within populations. He has expertise in investigating processes of discrimination and institutionalised racism.
