21st Century Society Authors

Professor Roger Jowell is one of the most eminent social scientists in Britain. He co-founded and directs the European Social Survey (ESS) which in 2005 won the Descartes Prize. This award is given annually for excellence in science, and until now has never been won by a social science project. He came to Britain from South Africa in 1964, and in 1969 set up Social Community and Planning Research (SCPR), which later changed its name to the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen).
