Our new #AcademicintheSpotlight series highlights social scientists doing innovative & exciting research on the UK and the EU.

Our first featured academic is Dr Neema Begum, @NeemaBegum, who works on the political representation of ethnic minorities in UK politics.
Watch this video to find out all about her work 🔻

@EthnicityUK | @uomsoss | @OfficialUoM | @UoMNews | @BhamPolsis | @birminghamalum
Neema’s work uses a mix of quantitative data, focus groups and interviews to analyse BAME voters.

Her PhD thesis was a sustained, mixed-methods analysis of BAME voting in the 2016 referendum that analysed the interaction of race, class and gender in voting behaviour. 🗳
She found that BAME support for Brexit was consistently underestimated.

BAME voters who opted for Brexit shared many of the same concerns as other groups, with one difference: perceived unfairness in the immigration system was a driving factor behind their vote.
In this blog for us back in 2018, she explained the complex motivations of BAME Remainers and Brexiters.

Neema has also written about the experience of being a women of colour (WOC) and an Early Career Researcher in the academy, in this article for @pollstudiesreview

Just yesterday, Neema's research with @ProfSobolewska on the under-representation of ethnic minorities in local government, was reported on by @inzyrashid for @SkyNews.

.@simonjhix: "In the medium term, Brexit is a challenge to the EU. There will be a UK model of exit."

"At some point, the UK model will seem quite attractive, which could be politically very difficult for the EU."
.@HelenHet20: "The EU's reaction to #Brexit was primarily defensive, but there was an opportunity to face the euro-ins and euro-outs question head on."

"Instead, it was seen as a potential long-term threat to the EU's credibility."

Yesterday we released a NEW report #WhatWouldNoDealMean.

And, you've guessed it, this report is the subject of today's #ThursdayThread. 🧵

ukandeu.ac.uk/wp-content/upl…
.@BorisJohnson has said that no deal with the EU would be a “good outcome” for the UK.

This report highlights what it would mean in terms of trade, fisheries, connectivity, the impact on citizens, Northern Ireland, economics, security, foreign policy, politics and more.
On #trade, the two sides would revert to #WTO rules.

We’re talking tariffs, customs checks, and regulatory checks. In other words, increased hassle, increased time and increased costs for businesses trading with the EU.

@CSBarnard24 explains.

Our BRAND NEW report on what no deal would mean is out today

Our experts are giving a briefing on the report this morning...

. @jillongovt: "No deal now is not the same as last year because the financial settlement, citizens' rights and Northern Ireland were dealt with in the Withdrawal Agreement."

#NoDealBrexit
. @jillongovt: "There could be extensive disruption at the UK-EU border."

"Lots of #Brexit officials were redeployed to #Covid_19 and some things are running late."
