معرفی
Dr. Stephen Ashe is an Assistant Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Sociology at Durham University. Previously, he was a Research Associate at the University of Manchester's Centre on Dynamics of Ethnicity, where he investigated anti-racist movements, workplace racism, and post-Brexit racial-class dynamics. His research focuses on institutional whiteness in higher education across four English universities.
Ashe's research explores critical societal issues through interdisciplinary lenses:
- Anti-racist and anti-fascist movements in historical and contemporary contexts
- Structural analysis of workplace discrimination and racial neoliberalism
- Ethnographic examination of far-right ideologies
- Decolonial approaches to education and criminology
Analysis of Ashe's recent publications reveals three dominant themes: 1) Critical examinations of cultural reproduction in education systems, 2) Decolonial frameworks for epistemic justice in criminology, and 3) Historical analyses of capital accumulation through racialized exploitation. His work employs intersectional frameworks connecting race, class, and institutional power.
Ashe currently supervises postgraduate researchers investigating racial justice and educational equity. His collaborative projects include British Academy/Leverhulme Trust-funded research on post-Brexit communities and Trade Union Congress studies on workplace discrimination.
