Dr Hammerstad joined the School in 2007. She is an ESRC Global Uncertainties Fellow, pursuing a three-year research programme on The securitisation of forced migration: Changing ideas and beliefs about displacement and their impact on security. The research fellowship is part of Research Council’s UK programme on Global Uncertainties: Security for All in a Changing World. The programme includes research on securitisation processes of immigration and asylum in the UK, South Africa and India. She is part of a European research network on Climate Change and Migration, funded by an EU COST Action and is working on a book for Oxford University Press entitled ‘The Rise of a Global Security Actor: the UNHCR from Northern Iraq to Darfur’. Her DPhil thesis from Oxford University won the 2003 BISA thesis prize. Before moving to Kent she was a Senior Researcher at the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA), based in Johannesburg, and a Research and Teaching Fellow at Royal Holloway, University of London. Dr Hammerstad remains a Research Associate and visiting fellow at SAIIA.
