Ian Shuttleworth

Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at Queen's University Belfast, made three short visits to IER in the period from January to June 2009. Ian has research interests in analyses of Census data, labour markets and labour mobility (including commuting and transnational migration). He has worked on a number of research projects with Anne Green at the IER - most recently on IB claimants in Northern Ireland. As a Visiting Fellow at IER Ian will be working with Anne Green on journal papers arising from this work. On 27th January Ian and Anne presented results of this work at an IER seminar on 'Mobility of IB claimants: evidence from Northern Ireland'. Additionally, Ian and Anne are seeking to develop a research proposal on 'Migration between Poland and the UK in the context of transience'. Ian is keen to liaise with IER staff on labour market issues, welfare-to-work policies, graduate migration and associated issues. http://web.gg.qub.ac.uk/people/staff/shuttleworth/
