Dr Maria-Nerina Boursinou

I am an associate lecturer and an interdisciplinary researcher working at the intersection of Migration, Media and Sociology. 

I joined the University of Surrey as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Leverhulme News Use Project (2023-2025), alongside Professor Ranjana Das, Dr Emily Setty and Dr Tom Roberts.

I am an Academic Fellow at the Research Centre for the Humanities (RCH) in Greece and an Honorary Fellow at the University of St
Andrews. I am also a founding member of the School’s Radical Urban Lab (RUL) where I am co - hosting the podcast Let’s Step Outside (with Julia Lurfova).

In 2020, I completed my PhD on 'The Role of ICTs in the lives of (forced)migrants in Greece' in the School of Media, Communication and Sociology (University of Leicester), before I moved on to an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowship in the School of Geography and Sustainable development (University of St Andrews). 

My research interests include: migration; social inclusion; research ethics and participatory methodologies; (the study
of) the far-right; and social movements.
