Autorenporträt

Rosemary Crompton (1942-2011) was a Sociologist and Professor at the University of Leicester and then at City University, London. She specialised in issues of class and gender, and more particularly in the analysis of the complex relationships between the two, showing that the many inequalities in each category could not be explained separately. She was committed in her research to empirical fieldwork and to the use of international comparisons. She became a Fellow of the British Academy in 2007.

Dr Kay Sanderson. Since retirement, and following a peripatetic academic career with UEA, the Open University and the University of Warwick, Dr Sanderson has been Chair of Norfolk Federation of WEA (Workers Education Association) and is involved in promoting adult learning as part of the Norwich Lifelong Learning organisation.
