Three new fellows associated with the Centre for Global Political Economy!
The Centre for Global Political Economy (CGPE) is excited to welcome and introduce three new Undergraduate Research Interns, Charis Davis (International Relations and Development), Agata Jarmicka (Economics and International Development), and Zélie Guisset (Geography)
Agata and Charis will be working on the SSRP Financial Crises and Environmental Sustainability (FCES) project, and will be supervised by Andreas Antoniades. During their fellowship they will analyse a large body of IMF speeches, publications and financial support programmes over the last 20 years. The aim is to trace and analyse the evolution of the IMF’s discourse on environmental sustainability, and the gap between this discourse and actual IMF policies on the ground, especially in the context of recent financial crises and financial support programmes. For this project, Charis was awarded a Sussex Junior Research Associate (JRA) fellowship, and Agata an Assistant Research Analyst FCES fellowship.
Zélie Guisset will be working with Andrea Brock on her own project, titled Policing animal liberation and animal rights activism in the UK, for which she was also awarded a JRA fellowship. Her project investigates police repression and punitive state responses to direct action by animal liberation and animal rights activists between the 1990s and today, to identify the specificities of the historical and contemporary policing of these struggles. She will be conducting a historical analysis of the academic literature but also the often-overlooked documentation of policing by activists themselves.
WELCOME Agata, Charis and Zélie!!!
