Eleonore Kofman is Professor of Gender, Migration and Citizenship at Middlesex University. She co-directs the Social Policy Research Centre, which uses innovative methodologies to undertake research on new and emerging topics within the social sciences, especially in relation to migration issues. Eleonore’s research questions the way educated women migrating alongside their spouses are regarded as followers and end up being de-skilled. Eleonore studies the strategies female migrants use to cope with this and considers whether their skill level or the labour market they are in impacts negatively on access to social rights and welfare. Eleonore is internationally recognised for her work on the subject of gender and migration.
