Staff profile for Jon Dean, Associate Professor in Politics and Sociology at Sheffield Hallam University

My PhD research explored the social history of mass resettlement into one of South Africa's Bantustans, the Ciskei. It examined the variety of experiences that relocation engendered, the modes of survival that these upheavals necessitated and the political effects that this process had in bolstering the local power of Bantustan elites. This research will be published in my forthcoming monograph. I am interested in bringing some of the insights of this research to bear in contemporary and comparative contexts. I have done research on some of the more recent off-farm settlements produced as a result of farm evictions in post-apartheid South Africa.

Staff profile for Najam Ul Hasan, Lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University

My main research interests are in early modern literature and culture - Shakespeare, the literature of the 'long 1590s' and the relationship between the theatre and royal iconography.

I have worked at Sheffield Hallam for 8 years. My research interests focus on frailty in older age and I am due to complete my PhD in June 2014 – I undertook ethnographic case studies to explore how older people with complex health problems experience frailty in later life. I have also had clinical and research experience in critical and palliative care so I am able to teach a range of subject areas across both the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. I am actively involved in the department and am currently a module leader, a post that I enjoy.
