Roger Jowell (1942 - 2011)
Professor Sir Roger Jowell, who died on Christmas Day 2011, was a kindred spirit in professional standards and ethics in survey research and a much-valued and supportive colleague for 40 years.
On 14 June 2012 there was An Appreciation of the life of Roger Mark Jowell at St John's, Smith Square, London, SW1. For several months The Times ran a Guest Book containing the many tributes from colleagues and friends: this has now been archived and a fee is payable to access them. However you can access his career profile and obituaries from the links below.
