Prof Paul Statham
Leading migration research centre appoints new director. The University of Sussex-based Sussex Centre for Migration Research, one of the UK's leading research centres on migration, will have a new Director from 1 April 2012. Professor Paul Statham, a political sociologist currently at the University of Bristol, takes over the Centre from Professor Russell King, who as one of the Centre's founding directors has been at the helm since its establishment in 1997. Professor Statham has published more than 50 books and scholarly articles on migration, multiculturalism, citizenship and the European public sphere, including the well-regarded book Contested Citizenship: Immigration and Cultural Diversity in Europe (University of Minnesota Press, 2005, with Ruud Koopmans, Marco Guigni and Florence Passy). His latest book, The Making of a European Public Sphere: Media Discourse and Political Contention (with Ruud Koopmans) was published by Cambridge University Press in 2010. Professor Statham is no stranger to Sussex, having studied at the University's School of European Studies for his undergraduate degree in Politics in 1985-89. He received his doctorate from the European University Institute, then worked at the University of Leeds, and the WZB Science Centre in Berlin, before moving to Bristol in 2006.
