Public engagement

We are very keen to encourage public interaction with our findings and we have created an interactive website and a number of other resources for schools.

Interactive website

As part of the Atlas of Victorian Fertility project, we have created an interactive website, Populations Past, to allow exploration of the geography of demographic and socio-economic outcome measures, and this will be extended to Scotland as part of the Britain's First Demographic Transition project.

Resources for teachers

The Resources section of Populations Past provides a selection of worksheets aimed at supporting key stage 3 and 4 history and geography teaching.

Engaging with the Census 2021

In 2021 we were funded by the AHRC and ESRC to run workshops with Year 8 students from South Wales and co-produce podcasts and teaching materials related to the census. These are available from the Resources section of Populations Past and the Department of Geography's YouTube channel.
