Perri 6
Professor Perri 6 is a noted British social scientist. He changed his name from David Ashworth to Perri 6 in 1983. Whilst not an academic at the time, many years later he said he was amused by the notion of "6, P" appearing in academic papers.[1]
6 worked for Demos, a centre-left think tank with close ties to New Labour in the 1990s. He is currently Professor of Social Policy at Nottingham Trent University's School of Social Sciences.[2] Much of 6's recent research is based on the cultural theory of risk, which he refers to as "neo-Durkheimian institutional theory".[2] He has also done government-backed research for the Information Commissioner's Office,[3] and has written on behalf of the think-tank Demos.[4] He has also written for the peer-reviewed Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory: J-PART,[5] Social Policy and Society[5] and Public Administration.[6]
