This research is about scientific capital and concerns its growth among British academic Social Anthropologists. Semi-structured interviews are employed to investigate their recollections of experiences regarding the growth of their research capacity (RC). In the UK’s Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) some disciplines did relatively badly. This talk is based on Dr Holligan's recent research looking at a discipline defined as world-class, should offer ideas for those in other disciplines regarding research socialisation.

His subjects range from class/culture/mobility, gangs and sectarianism in Glasgow, religious inter-marriage between Catholics and Protestants, the internet/digital class divides, and more recently research cultures of higher education.
His three most recent/forthcoming publications during 2010/11 are in: Ethnic & Racial Studies (in press), Journal of Critical Education Policy (in press), British Educational Research Journal and International Journal for Qualitative Studies in Education.
