The EVENS dataset provides unique insights into the experiences and attitudes of ethnic minorities in GB. Developed by the Centre on the Dynamics of Ethnicity (CoDE) in response to the disproportionate impacts of COVID-19, the largest and most comprehensive survey of the lives of ethnic and religious minorities in Britain for more than 25 years, EVENS explores how and why experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic varied according to ethnicity. EVENS used pioneering, robust survey methods to collect data in 2021 from 14,200 participants of whom 9,700 identify as from an ethnic or religious minority.

EVENS data covers: racism and discrimination, education, employment, housing and community, health, ethnic and religious identity, and social and political participation.

In this workshop we will hear from Professor Nissa Finney, University of St Andrews, Director of EVENS and one of the editors of Racism and Ethnic Inequality in a Time of Crisis: Findings from the Evidence for Equality National Survey. Nissa will give an overview of the survey methods and the resulting EVENS dataset, an introduction to research using the EVENS dataset, and an overview of potential areas for future research using EVENS. Dr Jennifer Buckley will outline how to access the dataset, which is freely available from the UK Data Service. The workshop will provide the opportunity for discussion and questions about the dataset.
