2023 Annual Lecture by Prof. Maria Sobolewska

Prof. Maria Sobolewska joined us at the University of Edinburgh on the 17th of May 2023 to deliver the second SES annual lecture titled “Race and ethnicity in politics: Is Scotland different?”. Full video of the event can be found below.

Following James Mitchell’s excellent talk on Scottish political radicalism in 2022, was the second Scottish Election Study Annual Lecture. Professor Maria Sobolewska (University of Manchester) presented on ethnic minority politics in Scotland in the context of relevant dynamics in the United Kingdom as a whole.

Prof. Sobolewska is an expert on immigration, ethnicity and ethnic minority representation and integration in the UK. Her 2020 book Brexitland, co-authored with Prof. Rob Ford, won the Political Studies Association’s WJM Mackenzie Prize for the best book published in political science.
