Professor Steve Strand elected to Academy of Social Sciences Fellowship
Professor Steve Strand
Steve Strand OBE, Professor of Education at the University of Oxford’s Department of Education and Fellow of St Cross College, is among the outstanding social scientists to be elected to the fellowship of the Academy of Social Sciences this month.
This honour recognises his significant national and international contributions in the fields of equity and social justice in education.
The Academy of Social Sciences Fellowship comprises 1,700 leading social scientists from academia, the public, private and third sectors. All Academy Fellows are elected for their excellence in their fields and their substantial contributions to social science for public benefit. Selection is through an independent peer review which recognises their excellence and impact.
Professor Strand’s research interests are in ethnic, social class and gender gaps in a wide range of educational outcomes and he is particularly interested in the interface between equity and school effectiveness.
I am honoured to be elected a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences, and delighted to join such an extraordinary group of scholars. I am indebted to the many colleagues, schools and students who have contributed to this line of work over the years. This recognition would not have been possible without them.
Professor Steve Strand OBE
