BBC launches Uni collaboration into Britain’s class system

The BBC has launched a nationwide interactive survey examining what class really means in Britain today, and whether it still matters in the 21st century. The Great British Class Survey ( www.bbc.co.uk/labuk) aims to be the largest study of its kind ever conducted in the UK, and is the first interactive commission by BBC Current Affairs. It is part of a wider BBC Current Affairs investigation into class, which also includes two documentaries on BBC TWO. The project is a unique collaboration between the journalists of BBC Current Affairs, BBC Lab UK and prominent experts on class. It was designed by leading British sociologists Professor Mike Savage of the University of York and Professor Fiona Devine of The University of Manchester, in collaboration with BBC Lab UK. Both Professors are associated with the ESRC funded Centre for Research on Socio-Cultural Change (CRESC) based at The University of Manchester. The unique survey asks the British public to help answer important questions about class in Britain today.
