Dr Denny Pencheva
- Biography
I joined UCL in 2020 as an Associate Lecturer in Public Policy and Political Science. I completed my PhD (Politics) at the University of Bristol where I taught and convened core and elective units in political science, social policy, and migration studies.
- Research
My research interests are within the broader field of politics and international migration. In particular, I am interested in the securitisation of migration; media, migration and post-truth, Brexit and neoliberalism.
My work has focused on political and policy developments in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and the Balkans.
