Neville Butler Memorial Lecture
Through money raised in connection with commemorating Neville Butler’s life, and generous support from the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), this important landmark has been added to the longitudinal research calendar.
The Neville Butler Memorial Lecture, supported by Neville Butler’s estate and the Neville Butler Memorial Fund is organised by Longview and the Centre for Longitudinal Studies at the Institute of Education jointly.
Each lecture will be on a topic of wide interest to people engaged in longitudinal research and life course study. In recognition of Neville’s considerable contribution in the area of child health and development, the main orientation of the early lectures will be towards child health and its later consequences through the life course.
