Umut Erel<br />
Umut Erel, RCUK Academic Fellow, Centre for Citizenship, Identities and Governance, Open<br />
University, UK. Umut’s research interests are in migration, ethnicity, gender and class, culture<br />
and representation empirically and theoretically. Her recent book ‘Migrant Women Transforming<br />
Citizenship’ uses the life-stories of skilled migrant women from Turkey in Britain and Germany<br />
to argue that the agency of migrant women can give new impulses for theorizing and doing<br />
citizenship critically. The book focuses on migrant women's practices of belonging and participation and the ways in which they<br />
reconceptualise these in the context of education, family life, work and activism. She is currently researching migrant women's<br />
mothering practices as citizenship practices in their own right and with respect to shaping their children's social positioning.<br />
Publications include Migrant Women Transforming Citizenship, Aldershot: Ashgate 2009; 'Migrating Cultural Capital. Bourdieu in<br />
Migration Studies' Sociology 44 (4) 2010; 'Constructing Meaningful Lives: Biographical Methods in Research on Migrant Women'<br />
Sociological Research Online, 12 (4) 2007.<br />
