This list is updated as the programme progresses.
In the early modules, Teaching Fellows moderate group discussion, help the Scholars to refine their project ideas and act as guides to the general landscape of contemporary Europe and its institutions. As the projects develop, Teaching Fellows become more like consultants so groups may work with different teaching fellows who have specific expertise in the area in which their group’s project lies.
If you are interested in applying to be a Teaching Fellow in future modules and have any questions, please send us an email.

Dr. Sharon Leahy is a Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. Her principal research interests focus broadly on strategies of marginalisation in the neoliberal era; culturally, economically and politically. Her concerns have built on the work applied in her PhD, to critically assess the discursive construction and performative constitution of difference and its impact on the most forgotten in society, most specifically migrant communities and ethnic minorities. She has acquired an explicit interest in the ways in which elites produce and regulate knowledge, allowing for the creation and legitimisation of certain understandings of cultural difference, the constitution of precarity, and discourses and practices surrounding transnational flows. Sharon is a qualitative geographer who seeks to examine the processes and responses involved in exclusionary, yet legally justified, state practices. Sharon is especially concerned with how neoliberalism fosters individualism and the ways in which the State shirks responsibility for protection of the individual, and offloads securitisation to its citizens.
