Research Fellow
Janroj joined the WLRI institute in 2007 to work on a project on ‘Influences of identity, community and social networks on ethnic minority representation at work’ (with Dr. Jane Holgate, Dr. Meeta Jha and Prof. Anna Pollert). He has previously been part of a research team at Sussex Centre for Migration Research conducting fieldwork with Kurdish, Turkish and Turkish Cypriots migrants for the MIGSYS Research Project in the UK. The project focused on the correlation between immigration, policies (in host and origin of countries) and migration systems.
He is currently a PhD candidate at Brunel University (London), where he is undertaking a study of how Kurdish and Turkish migrants in Europe (Sweden, Germany and UK) view the Turkish and Kurdish ethnic conflict in Turkey and Kurdistan through the media. He has been a teaching assistant at Brunel University since 2005 teaching media and social science courses.
