Research

Haley is interested in social inequality impacting migrants and their descendants in European societies. Her work has strongly focused on the spatial dimension of inequalities, investigating forms of residential segregation and its consequences for socioeconomic and political outcomes. She is also interested in how migration relates to ethnoracial inequality and discrimination, classification and identity.

Haley’s work relies on quantitative methods using survey and census data, with a strong interest in longitudinal data analysis.

Teaching and PhD supervision

Haley contributes to teaching on Advanced Social Theory, Advanced Social Research Methods, and the MSc in Inequalities and Social Science Dissertation. She is interested in supervising PhD projects on migration and inequality, ethnoracial inequality, ethnroacial discrimination, and residential segregation/neighbourhood effects.
