Personal Info

Sylvie Dubuc joined the Department in 2006. She was previously lecturer at the French universities of Pau and La Reunion, and King’s College London where she taught quantitative methods in social science, migration and urbanisation. She obtained her PhD at Paris-Sorbonne in 2002. She then carried out two research projects in India, analysing the impact of demographic dynamics on the environment and the growth of urban population (including ongoing collaboration with CNRS-Paris Sorbonne team). She is council member of the British Society of Population Studies and a peer-review college member of the ESRC. 

Since being in Oxford, Sylvie is working extensively on demographic characteristics of ethnic minority groups and religious groups in the UK, including ongoing work focusing on family formation and education of the second generation in the UK (ESRC and John Fell Awards). She has further developed research on sex-selection associated to son-preference (Wellcome Trust Award), including a new project, founded by the Nuffield Foundation to work on prenatal sex-selection in the UK and its potential ethical and policy implications.

Her current work includes research on education, social mobility and childbearing behaviour of the ethnic minority groups and the second generation in the UK and research on son-preference and child sex-selection.
