Notes

The editors would particularly welcome, in the points for debate section, readers’ comments on or responses to articles which have appeared in earlier issues of the Journal. These may be in the form of a short paper or letter and should be sent to Stephen Rowland, Department of Education and Professional Studies, University College London, 1–19 Torrington Place, London WCIE 6BT. Selected contributions will be published at the earliest oppurtunity.

1. This is a revised version of a paper from the ISIM (International Institute for the Study of Islam) Review, 16 August 2005, The Netherlands.

2. See Modood (Citation2005).

3. Not to mention the ‘Asian Other’, a term which includes disparate groups such as Sri Lankans, Vietnamese, Malayasians but which are relatively small in absolute terms and so working out the proportion of the age group in higher education is less reliable. The same may apply to the Chinese in Table 1 for their representation is much lower than all other data has suggested so far (see Modood, Citation2005).

4. The dataset in question was reanalysed recently with results showing that ‘bias’ against ethnic minorities was confined to Law for all groups and to Pakistanis in most subjects (see HEFCE Citation2005). Why the HEFCE analysis differs from Shiner and Mood 2002 has not yet been established.

5. The Leverhulme Migration and Ethnicity Research Programme Project on gender, social capital and differential outcomes. See www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Sociology/leverhulme.
