Jonathan Minton

Dr Jonathan Minton is an Affiliate and Guest Lecturer at the University of Glasgow's School of Social & Political Sciences. His research focuses on mortality trends, public health, epidemiology, and data visualization, with particular emphasis on spatial segregation, health inequalities, and socioeconomic impacts on health outcomes. He has led studies on life expectancy stagnation in the UK, drug-related mortality in Scotland, and the implications of gambling sponsorship in sports.

Key research interests include analyzing age-period-cohort effects in health data, visualizing demographic patterns through 3D sculptures and contour maps, and exploring the intersection of urban development with health disparities. His work often integrates spatial analysis and policy evaluation to address systemic health challenges.

Minton's articles highlight interdisciplinary approaches to public health crises, such as the 'diseases of despair' epidemic and the impact of austerity on mortality trends. He collaborates widely with institutions like the University of Sheffield and the World Health Organization, contributing to both academic discourse and policy development.
