In this episode, Professor Gwilym Pryce from the University of Sheffield explores the idea of 'social frontiers'. The boundaries that exist between communities, neighbourhoods and groups. Drawing on his research in urban economics, social statistics and data analytics, Gwilym discusses how these frontiers influence inequality, segregation and everyday life, while offering thought-provoking ideas for geography teachers and students about using data to better understand the places we live.
