It has been one week since the people of the UK voted to leave the European Union. The changes to come will have long reaching effects economically, politically and socially. Research began before the vote and has continued after with a range of resources available to social scientists to study “Brexit”.
Event
The Blavatnik School of Government is hosting a public event Brexit Britain: what now?. There will be a debate from a panel of experts Professor Anne Davies, Lord Wood of Anfield and Dr. Emily Jones. The event will take place in the Blavatnik School of Government on Thursday 30 June at 6pm. It is free to attend but registration is required.
Data
Dr. Kathryn Simpson, University of Manchester, has been consulted throughout the referendum campaign for here expertise in comparative European politics, political behaviour and public opinion. She has discussed the need and demand for reliable quality data to examine all sides of the EU referendum, and its consequences, in her latest blog post Making sense of Brexit – the data you need to analyse.
Many of these data are available through the UK Data Service and include:
- European Social Survey (ESS)
- British Election Survey (BES)
- British Social Attitudes Survey (BSA)
- Annual Population Survey (APS)
- Labour Force Survey (LFS)
- Census Data

The Bodleian Libraries subscribes to a range of newspapers that are covering “Brexit” including The Economist (also available in print at the SSL), The Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal. News databases like Factiva will also be useful.
