"As Professor Gemma Catney of Queen’s University Belfast has shown, places often labelled as “white minority” are in fact ethnically diverse, with no one group dominating" Our @gemmacatney's research in print & online in today's Sunday Times @thetimes

This week’s column is all about segregation Some on the right would have us believe that mass migration is making Britain more segregated. The data shows that just isn’t true: every ethnic group is getting more dispersed… 1/5 @thetimes

Excellent article in today's Sunday Times. Increasing ethnic diversity has been accompanied by decreasing segregation.Places labelled as “white minority” are in fact ethnically diverse, with no one group dominating. Detailed coverage of our GEDI research: https://t.co/Jqxk49A3yJ

Anti-immigration rhetoric claims it leads to ethnic ghettos. Statistics tell a different story | ✍️ @tomhcalver

Gentrification, plus the natural process of integration, has meant migrants who initially congregate in certain areas tend to disperse quickly And as @gemmacatney has shown, places that some see as “white minority” are in fact ethnically diverse with no group dominating 4/5

What’s going on here? The relationship between immigration and segregation is complicated. But broadly, segregation appears to initially go up when a few ethnic minorities arrive, but then go down again when the area becomes a lot more diverse…. 3/5

Last week Robert Jenrick singled out Birmingham as being home to “intercommunal violence” and “segregated communities”. Yet Birmingham has become quite a bit less segregated since 2001, *despite* the white British population falling from 66% to 43%… 2/5
