“Researching ethnic minority communities poses great methodological challenges. Members of ETHNOS have an excellent grasp of research methods, which they use creatively and thoughtfully to produce first-rate work.”
Professor George Gaskell
Director of the Methodology Institute
London School of Economics
For many people, diversity issues are an unfamiliar territory. ETHNOS' team of social scientists and methodologists work closely with clients to develop tailored research solutions. We draw on the full range of research methods - often within a single project - to give you the rich insights and robust evidence you need. ETHNOS brings together professional recruiters, interviewers, moderators and analysts who themselves represent a range of minority ethnic communities and have many years of experience working on issues affecting people from minority ethnic backgrounds. We have detailed knowledge and understanding of the main minority ethnic groups living in the UK: their current and forecasted demographic and economic profile, migration history and geographical distribution, structure of community life, educational achievements and career choices, political attitudes, linguistic abilities and preferences, cultural identities, media consumption patterns, health status and needs, housing circumstances, access to services, leisure activities, perceptions and experiences of discrimination, identification with Britishness, and so on. We work with the main established communities - Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Black Caribbeans, Black Africans, Chinese and Irish people - as well as with asylum seekers and refugees, new migrants, faith communities, and Gypsies and Travellers. We know when inclusive, mainstream approaches will suffice and when there is a need for targeted or tailored approaches. We can leverage our extensive commmunity networks for research purposes and successfully engage people from various backgrounds and with different levels of need.
