‘The past
we inherit,
the future
we build.’
Dr MARION
ELLISON
SENIOR LECTURER, PSYCHOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY
I am Dr Marion Ellison, Senior Lecturer in Sociology at Queen
Margaret University. As the leader of a major European
Employment Research Study in Scotland (INSPIRES) my
aspiration is to make a difference to the lives of young people
across Europe by anticipating the future challenges they face.
I am currently co-ordinating the work of my European
colleagues as we identify and closely evaluate innovative
knowledge, technology and policy approaches that
improve the resilience and active inclusion of labour
markets for young people and other vulnerable groups
across Europe. For more information about INSPIRES
please visit the website: http://www.inspires-research.eu
or contact me at [email protected]
Throughout my research career I have been strongly
motivated by an ambition to improve the lives of
vulnerable groups in society. In contributing to and
expanding knowledge in social policy, sociology and
professional practice I have always been inspired by the
belief that ‘The past we inherit, the future we build’.
