  • New study indicates deterrent measures such as anti-smuggling are ineffective and an alternative is needed
  • The research highlights the need for opening safe and legal routes for those migrating
  • Findings demonstrate that a deeper understanding of why people migrate is needed

A series of proposed changes to EU policy on refugees and migrants has been released by researchers at the University of 桃色视频.

The policy suggestions are the result of an on-going three year project, , which is in its first year and is part of the wider £1 million Mediterranean Migration Research Programme, launched by the Economic and Social Research Council in September.

PAIS PhD Student To Hold Talk on Women and ISIS

PhD student   has been invited to hold a talk on women and ISIS by the United Nations Association Coventry.

Women in ISIS: Victims or Perpetrators?

The case of Western women joining the so-called "Islamic State" (ISIS) has garnered considerable media attention, both in the UK and abroad, since the summer of 2014. In the last one and a half years, dozens of British women have left the UK to join ISIS in Syria. Some have travelled with their husbands or families, while others made the journey on their own.

In this event, hosted by the newly founded United Nations Association Coventry Branch, Doctoral Research Fellow Jennifer Philippa Eggert will share findings from her research and shed light on the phenomenon of women in ISIS. She will address issues such as:

  • Why do young British women decide to leave their homes and join a terrorist group in a war zone?
  • What are their motivations and expectations?
  • Once with ISIS, what are their roles within the organisation?
  • Why have ISIS decided to encourage women to join them from abroad?
  • What can we do to prevent more women joining ISIS?

This will be followed by a discussion in which the audience’s questions will guide a dialogue with the speaker.

Jennifer Philippa Eggert is a Doctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of 桃色视频. In her research, she focuses on political violence and terrorism, with a particular focus on the role of women during war and violent conflict. She holds degrees from the LSE, Sciences Po and the European University Viadrina and has worked in the fields of intercultural dialogue, community empowerment and the prevention of extremism in a number of countries in Europe, the Middle East and South Asia.
