Dr James Hampshire

Biography

I received my BA in Modern History at the University of Oxford in 1997, after which I completed an MA in Political Philosophy at the University of York, before returning to Oxford in 1998 to begin doctoral research. I received my D.Phil. in Politics in 2002. In 2003-4, I was an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Politics and International Relations at Oxford. I also worked as a part-time Lecturer at St Catherine's and then Balliol College. I joined Sussex in 2004 and I am currently a Senior Lecturer in Politics.

• Politics of immigration in liberal democracies
• Migration policy and policymaking in the UK and Europe
• Border controls and digital technologies
• Racial politics and anti-racism
• Citizenship and naturalization policies

I am the Principal Investigator for a six-country project on Migration to Europe in the Digital Age (MEDiA), funded by a planning grant under the call 'Europe and Global Challenges' by Compagnia di San Paolo, Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, and VolkswagenStiftung.  

Current doctoral students

Erica Consterdine - UK immigration policymaking from the 1970s to the present (ESRC funded)

Satoko Horii - Frontex and the evolution of cooperation on European border controls (JASSO funded)

Francesco Napolitano - the role of non-state actors in shaping EU decision-making structures and outcomes in the area of Judicial Co-operation

I am interested in supervising projects in the following areas: migration politics and policies, particuarly in a European context, race and anti-racism, and citizenship.

Taught courses

At the undergraduate level, I convene the first and second year courses on Foundations of Politics and Modern Political Thought, and I offer a third year option on Contemporary Political Theory. At the postgraduate level, I teach a Masters course on The Politics of Citizenship and Immigration.
