## Personal profile

### Research Statement

Dr Ulrike M Vieten is a Senior Lecturer (*Associate Professor*) in Sociology of Gender, Migration and Racisms, who joined Queen's University Belfast as one of the *QUB Fellows*, in 2015.

Dr Vieten was awarded a Doctor in Philosophy (PhD) by the University of East London (UEL), England, in 2008, and a MA in Gender & Ethnic Studies by the University of Greenwich, also Britain, in 2004. In Germany she read Law (Bremen) and Social Sciences (Oldenburg, MA), and worked as a consulter on gender equality implementation and law in the 1990s.

Before coming to Belfast, Dr Vieten held various post-doc positions and Research Fellowships at the VU Amsterdam, the University of Sheffield and the University Luxembourg, and was living in Leeds (Yorkshire) until 2015.

Her new monograph ['*Loss and Liquid Citizenship in Europe: The Postmigration Condition in an Age of Populism'*](https://www.routledge.com/Loss-and-Liquid-Citizenship-in-Europe-The-Postmigration-Condition-in-an-Age-of-Populism/Vieten/p/book/9780367897444)  is published with Routledge. Inspired by the late Zygmunt Bauman and his concept of 'liquid' the book interrogates the symbolic and legal boundaries between citizen and migrant status, foregrounding the all encompassing situation of living in postmigration societes.

Going beyond the nation state's sociological lens Dr Vieten incorporates *cosmopolitan and interdisciplinay (feminist-intersectional) methodologies* in her research. She is a comparativist, looking at the transformation of (European) societies and considering the increasing meaning of transnational identities.

Theoretically, Dr Vieten is inspired by feminist thinkers such as Nancy Fraser, Iris Marion Young, bell hooks, Kimberle Crenshaw, Nira Yuval-Davis, but also Sylvia Walby with respect to her work on the notion of 'European societalization'.

Between 2020 and 2025 Dr Vieten was a member of  the British activist-academic group '*Social Scientists Against Hostile Environment -[Social Scientists Against the Hostile Environment (wordpress.com)](https://acssmigration.wordpress.com/)*)

- Dr Vieten's expertise on racialised and gendered group boundaries ('othering of difference') also in the context of global and European far right populism and racism is recognized internationally. She contributes regularly to media debates ( e.g. EURONEWS feature; BBC/Ulster Radio or political blogs). In the wake of the EU parliament election in June 2024, she was invited to several talks in Paris and Brussels speaking about the normalisation of the far right in Europe, e.g. Ireland.
- Her (international) expertise in the field of gendered migration and the situation of refugees is esteemed, particularly. Dr Vieten was appointed *External Examiner* to the *MA Refugee Integration,* Dublin City University (DCU), Ireland ,in 2022.

In September 2022, she published her second monograph (co-authored with Scott Poynting), *[Normalization of the Global Far-Right: Pandemic Disruption?](https://bookstore.emerald.com/normalization-of-the-global-far-right.html)*

The book is a timely intervention in ongoing debates on everyday racisms, and the normalization of extremist views, globally (e.g. in Europe, but also Australia) also taking into account the post March 2020 pandemic situtation and implications for this debate.

- Between January 2020 and end of 2024, Dr Vieten was Editor-in- Chief of the peer reviewed *[European Journal of Cultural and Political Sociology,](https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/recp20)* one of the flagship journals of the *European Sociological Association (ESA*).
- Between April and July 2023 as part of her Sabbatical, Dr Vieten was a *Visiting Research Fellow* in Australia, based at the [*Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation*,](https://adi.deakin.edu.au/?utm_source=deakin.edu.au&utm_medium=referral&_ga=2.261783823.348920086.1660910757-1788937496.1649323615) Alfred Deakin University, Melbourne (Australia).

### Research Focus

Dr Vieten does have particular expertise in Gender, Ethnic and Sexualities Studies. Since 2016 her work focuses on the rise of the racist far right in different European station states, and internationally, while investigating the ways a normalisation of anti-immigrant rhetoric, anti-Muslim racism and neo-nationalist politics emerged.

Her research engages theoretically and empirically with the (de-)construction of racialised, classed and gendered group boundaries, looking at *processes of normalization and the critique of it.* Another way of capturing this is asking how *othering* operates in discourses and in different situated historical contexts and how the tension between difference and alterity plays out.

Dr Vieten has published widely on the shifting notions of difference and otherness, in the context of *gendered cosmopolitanisms*, far-right *populisms* and archives of *racisms,* in Europe.

Foremost, Dr Vieten is interested in processes of *European societalisation,* and the emergence of multi-layered transnational identities. She is a comparativist, who applies a range of qualitative methods (e.g. Critical Discourse Analysis; visual methods/ semiotics; narrative methods). Having worked academically in the Netherlands, Luxembourg and England before coming to Northern Ireland, countries of expertise include: Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Poland, Austria, Turkey and more recently, India.

Dr Vietens' research has been funded by the British Council/ Newton Fund; Northern Ireland Department for the Economy *(DfE*)/ Global Challenges Research Fund (*GCRF*) and the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister (OFMDFM), Stormont.

The pilot study '*Loss and the Language of Dance*' (2017-2018), for example, explored how the experience of loss can be culturally translated across different countries and collective memories, such as Northern Ireland and  Turkey.

### Achievements

Before 2002

Before migrating to London/ UK, in 2002, and embarking on an academic career, Dr Vieten worked professionally (Organisational Sociology) on gender equality implementation as far as Germany is concerned.

The legal commentary in the field of gender equality and German anti-discimination law was published in 2002:

'*Frauengleichstellungsgesetze des Bundes und der Laender'*, (2002), co-authored with Prof Dr Dagmar Schiek, Prof Dr Heike Dieball et al., published with the BUND Verlag in Frankfurt/ Main.

 

Beyond 2002

Dr Vieten co-edited with Prof Nira Yuval-Davis (UEL), *The Situated Politics of Belonging* (also with Prof Kalpana Kannabiran), published in 2006 (with SAGE).

In *2012,* Dr Vieten's first MONOGRAPH was published with ASHGATE (by now with ROUTLEGE):

In the beginning, global, regional as well as intra-Europan migration issues (e.g. EU citizenship, cross border mobility) were prominent, but due to the post-Brexit situation, affecting NI and Ireland in particular ways, the module delivers a revised approach focusing on global migration, also taking into account the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic crisis, post-2022.
