About

Jamie D Stacey is a Tutor in International Development. His research cuts across two main areas: in International Relations/ Politics/ International Development, his research focuses on human rights, in particular how political actors 'contest' and even redefine the very meaning of human rights. In this regard, he has sought to understand how human rights has been contested in Southeast Asia, and how ASEAN has served as a leading political actor in shaping human rights discourse in the region (ASEAN and Power in International Relations: Routledge, 2020). In philosophy, he is interested in moral obligation, moral luck, and the philosophy of the self. In this regard, he is working on a project that seeks to understand to what extent we can be said to have a moral obligation to be (reasonably) fit.

A graduate of Swansea University (1st class BA Politics, Distinction MA Politics, PhD in International Relations), he has been a visiting scholar to the EU Centre in Singapore. He is also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (2022) and strives to incorporate a range of teaching techniques (prompts, props, storytelling) into his teaching practice. Besides academia, he enjoys martial arts, yoga, D&D, being woken up at 12am, 2am, 4am by small humans, cooking strange yet beguiling breads and everything oats and dates, and is also a fiction writer, specialising in flash fiction and novels. His debut novel, All the Waves, Calling (Black Pear Press, 2023) explores themes of loss, resilience - and hope. Whether in academia or elsewhere in life, he is drawn to stories that empathise, encourage, and empower.

Taught Modules

FY-019 Social Science

.
PO-235 Global Justice and Human Rights

This module has been designed to help students to connect, or to create a bridge between, relatively practical debates about international human rights norms and institutions and about global patterns of poverty and inequality with more abstract philosophical debates about 'cosmopolitanism', 'global justice' and our moral responsibilities towards 'distant strangers'.
PO-3319 Researching Politics 1

Researching Politics (RP) provides students with the skills that underlie the process of conducting and communicating cutting-edge research in Politics and International Relations. RP works by creating topic groups, each comprised of 8-10 students. Each group will follow a bespoke course set out by their topic tutor, guiding them through the literature in a substantive research area. Students are invited to select a list of preferred options in the first teaching week of the term. This list is then used to assign students to topics and group sessions run from the second week of teaching onwards. Alongside the topic-specific teaching, there is a general lecture series focusing on discovering, analysing and presenting complex information. The lecture series also focuses on dealing with the ups and downs of working as part of a team.
PO-3320 Researching Politics 2

Researching Politics 2 (RP2) is the follow-on module from RP1 and it acts as the culmination for the subject knowledge and transferable skills developed in that module. RP2 puts the creative emphasis in the hands of the students, with the module convenor and topic tutors giving guidance and feedback to facilitate the realisation of research conceived, developed, executed and presented by students. In this way, it tries to approximate the worlds of further study and work into which students will be progressing following the completion of their degree schemes. It is a module where all of the summative assessments are comprised of group work, although individual marks can be varied depending on each student¿s performance. Students are also required to submit an individual self-assessment, detailing what they have learned about their own strengths and weaknesses on the basis of the sustained group work. In RP2, you will extend and deepen the research undertaken in RP1 and continue to meet regularly in order to share ideas, opinions and sources in your groups. These meetings will include several where the topic tutor provides guidance and feedback as well as those where the meetings are student-led.
