His research focuses on the development, application, and dissemination of multilevel models for analysing educational and health data. One key area of his work addresses the design, analysis, and communication of school performance measures and league tables. Most recently, he has been developing MAIHDA, a new approach for studying intersectional inequalities.

Professor Leckie will provide a seminar and workshop on Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy (MAIHDA). MAIHDA is an increasingly popular method for studying intersectional inequalities in individual outcomes. A typical application might examine how mean reading scores vary across combinations of sex, ethnicity, and social class, and disability. In his seminar, professor Leckie will introduce the approach, explore its links to intersectional theory, and outline its various extensions, illustrating each with examples from published applications. The one-hour seminar is followed by a two-hour workshop providing participants with hands-on experience on applying MAIHDA in R or Stata.

This seminar and workshop is free of charge and open to all researchers at UvA. It is held in English and requires basic knowledge of R or Stata. Bring your own laptop with the latest versions of R or Stata installed.
