For your information, please see below information regarding Vicki
Squire and Umut Erel, respectively:
Vicki Squire joined the Open University as an RCUK research fellow in
October 2007, after working as an ESRC postdoctoral research fellow at
the University of Birmingham. She was awarded her first degree by the
University of Birmingham (2001), and her Masters (2002) and PhD (2006)
by the University of Essex. Dr Squire's research is located at the
intersections of (forced) migration studies, citizenship studies, and
critical security studies, reflecting her theoretical and empirical
interest in the production, reproduction and transformation of social
formations and political subjects. Her current research explores both
the shifting forms and sites through which mobility is governed, as well
as the shifting solidarities through which such regulatory practices are
resisted or contested. Dr Squire is currently editing a collection
entitled Borderzones of Mobility, Security and Citizenship: Contesting
the Irregularisation of Migration (to be published with Routledge in
2010), and is working on a monograph entitled Mobile Solidarities:
Citizenship, Sanctuary and Politics (in preparation).
Umut Erel is RCUK Academic fellow at the Centre for Citizenship,
Identities and Governance, Open University. Her research focuses on how
gender, ethnicity, racialization and migration articulate citizenship.
She is currently researching the citizenship practices of migrant
mothers. The constitution of care through gendered migrations in a
European frame is the topic of a collaborative ESF workshop in November
2009 (with Parvati Raghuram and Nicola Yeates).
If you are interested in attending this book launch, please RSVP Pearl
Whitney, Research Secretary, The Open University, Faculty of Social
