Dr Adam Formby, York St John University (England) is an applied Sociologist with an interest in the sociology and social policy of youth. He works in several areas which include widening participation, education-to-work transitions, work and 'precarity', youth policy, youth justice and youth subcultures (i.e. memorialisation of video-games). When undertaking such interests, Adam also engages with a wide array of social research methodologies such as interviews, focus groups, auto-ethnographic methods, policy analysis, realist evaluation and quantitative methods. More recent work has evaluated Widening Participation initiatives in underrepresented communities across Yorkshire using realist evaluation frameworks whilst working with both 'Go Higher West Yorkshire' and 'NCOP York and Northshire'. Certainly, a notable publication of his was ‘Got a degree..now I'm in a Job Centre.'
