PROF ADRIAN BAILEY
RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Adrian Bailey is Professor of Migration Studies in the School of Geography and convenor of the World University Network's Transnational Society Network. He came to the University of Leeds in 1999 from Dartmouth College, USA. His current research expertise falls in two areas - understanding the winners and losers in transnational society, and understanding the changing realities of migration and work for families. Trained as a population geographer, Bailey is commited to increasing the international visibility of human geography scholarship through such professional development activities as the Advanced Placement Human Geography initiative in the United States, and the WUN Transnational Society Network. He is also quite probably the only human geographer admitting to support Gillingham FC.
