Dr Dimitris Skleparis is a Senior Lecturer in the Politics of Security at Newcastle University. His research is at the intersection between critical security studies and migration/refugee studies. Dimitris is interested in the ways in which migration is governed, perceived, portrayed and experienced amid increasing insecurities. He focuses particularly on the dynamics between security discourse and practice and their human impact. He approaches these issues from an interdisciplinary, and mixed methods standpoint. He also has considerable media and consultancy experience.
Dimitris received his PhD in Political Science from Queen Mary University of London (2015) with a specialisation in the securitisation of migration and the politics of migrant activism. He also holds a MSc (Distinction) in Social Science Research Methods from the University of Bristol (2009), and a BA in Communication and Media from the University of Athens (2008). He has published in a range of international peer-reviewed journals, and has contributed to a number of edited volumes, research project reports, and policy briefs.
Dimitris has previously worked as a Lecturer in Politics at the University of Glasgow, and as a Lecturer and Internship Programme Coordinator at the University of California (Edinburgh Study Centre). He has also worked as a Research Associate at the University of Glasgow, and as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP).
