Iris Acejo
Iris completed her PhD study on
transnational assimilation of Filipino seafarers, through the SIRC–Nippon
Foundation Fellowship programme in 2013. She obtained her undergraduate degree
in Business Economics at the University of the Philippines (U.P.). Under the
PIDS-HRD Scholarship Program, she took Master of Arts in Economics in the same
university and has been involved in various policy researches concerning
migration, labour and employment. From 2005–2006, she had a teaching stint at
the U.P. School of Economics as a teaching fellow.
Currently, Iris is working on two projects
concerning: 1) seafarers and the use of mandatory shipboard equipment,
2) relationships between shore-side and shipboard personnel onboard. Both
projects are jointly funded by the Lloyd's Register Foundation, The TK
Foundation, and Cardiff University. The project runs until 2016.
*Shortlisted for the Best Paper Award at
the 10th Annual Liverpool Symposium on Current Developments in Ethnographic
Research in the Social and Management Sciences.
