HIS-CAM - Stratification scales in the nineteenth century: Since 2004, we have been involved in work using hisotrical marriage records from the period 1800-1938 in order to estimate CAMSIS scales for this period in 6 countries.

Inter-generational mobility patterns: Between 2003-2007 we worked on an ESRC funded project "Long-run changes in the significance of social stratification in Britain". The link leads to a webpage describing this research further.

Intra-generational mobility patterns: Short comment on a preliminary investigation into the use of job-transitions data within the CAMSIS approach (commenced 2002).
