Imad El-Anis
Associate Professor in International Relations, Nottingham Trent University
Dr Imad El-Anis is an Associate Professor in International Relations and the Director of the Centre for Policy, Citizenship, and Society. He has teaching responsibilities at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in the Department of Social and Political Sciences, and also supervises and examines PhD candidates.
Dr El-Anis' work is most closely associated with critical versions of liberal institutionalism and uses mixed methodological approaches. He has previously supervised two PhD candidates to completion and is currently supervising ten candidates working on the following projects: Crisis Management in Darfur, Globalisation and Central Bank Policy in Libya, US Security Policy in the Persian Gulf, Foreign Aid and Governmental Policy in Jordan, Migration and EU-North Africa Policy, Libyan-British Relations Between 1969-1979, Saudi Arabian Foreign Policy Towards Israel, The UN Special Tribunal and Lebanon, Iranian-Chinese Relations Since 2000, Globalisation and the Political Economy of Hydrocarbons in Libya.
His current research focuses examining economic integration and political cooperation in the MENA. This work explores the phenomena associated with regional economic integration which has long been a policy objective of governments in the MENA and has led to the development of a number of bilateral, multilateral and region-wide projects.
In particular the creation of preferential trade agreements in the form of free trade agreements (FTAs) and economic unions have sought to facilitate intra-regional trade and promote economic productivity in member states (in other words trade creation and not trade diversion). Many existing studies have sought to analyse the effectiveness of these policies in terms of their impact on economic development (which has been widely seen as the driving force behind these agreements) by using various methodological approaches that have favoured quantitative methods and positivist analysis.
Imad's research seeks to develop our understanding of the interests driving these policies, as well as their effectiveness in both economic and political terms. Using a mixed methodology and institutionalist theoretical assumptions this project explores the integrative impacts of various agreements, such as the Greater Arab Free Trade Area, on political and economic relationships.

Imogen Tyler
Professor of Sociology, Lancaster University
I am a social theorist and sociologist of inequalities and borders (of multiple kinds). My research is concerned with social inequalities, power, injustice and resistance. My work examines why inequalities exist, why inequalities are currently growing (for example, patterns of neoliberalism, marketization, privatisation and the erosion of democracy in the transition to postwelfare state formations), the intersections of different histories and forms of inequality (for example, gender, citizenship status, disability). My work is concerned with how inequalities are measured and classified, the ways in which inequalities are reproduced & resisted and the kinds of subjectivities and identities which are constituted through unequal social relations. I draw on a diverse body of scholarship in my work, notably from feminist theory, sociology, media and cultural studies, social and critical theory and political philosophy and I typically bring together and analyse diverse archives of materials, including primary empirical data, policy materials, and a range of cultural materials. It is intersectional research which employs mixed methods and draws together long-standing research interests in migration, internal and external borders, sexual politics, social class, "race" & ethnicity, disability and poverty, and an abiding interest in culture (cultural economies), representation, subjectivity, processes of mediation and political aesthetics.
Alongside work on class, culture, gender and inequality I have published widely in the area of borders, citizenship, migrancy and in 2009 I set up a cross departmental migrancy Research Group at Lancaster University. I have recently edited, with Katarzyna Marciniak (Ohio University) a special issue of Citizenship Studies on `Immigrant Protest`(2013) and a book Immigrant Protest: Politics, Aesthetics, and Everyday Dissent (New York: SUNY, 2014). I have recently completed an ESRC funded project called 'Making Asylum Seekers Legible and Visible: An Analysis of the Dilemmas and Mitigating Strategies of Asylum Advocacy in the UK and US '. During 2012-2015 I co-organised an ESRC funded series of events ‘Exploring Everyday Practice and Resistance in Immigration Detention‘. The final conference in this series 'The Business of Immigration Detention: Activisms, Resistances, Critical Interventions' took place in Lancaster in Jan 2015.
