Bio/Research
Peter Nyers is Associate Professor of the Politics of Citizenship and Intercultural Relations. He teaches in the area of critical security studies, international relations theory, citizenship studies, and refugee and migrant politics. At the graduate level, he has been active in the MA programs in Globalization Studies and Cultural Studies & Critical Theory. He conducts research on the social movements of non-status refugees and migrants, in particular their campaigns against deportation and detention and for regularization and global mobility rights. His principal interest is with investigating how the claims made by politicized groups of non-status people are transforming established norms about citizenship and political community. He is the author of Rethinking Refugees: Beyond States of Emergency (Routledge 2006), co-editor (with Engin Isin and Bryan Turner) of Citizenship between Past and Future (Routledge 2008), and editor of Securitizations of Citizenship (Routledge 2009), as well as the author of a number of journal articles and book chapters. He serves as Associate Editor of the journal Citizenship Studies.
