Early life

Born in Flanders (Temse, 1959) and educated at Ghent University, Belgium in Oriental Philology (Arabic) and, at postgraduate level, in Development Studies, Gerd Nonneman subsequently worked in the commercial sector in Iraq during the early 1980s. Returning to graduate studies in the UK in 1984, he obtained his PhD in Politics at the University of Exeter, specialising in the politics of the Middle East. After teaching Middle East politics and political economy at Manchester and Exeter Universities, and a spell as Visiting Professor at the International University of Japan, he taught International Relations and Middle East Politics at Lancaster University from 1993 to 2007, at which point he returned to Exeter to take up the Al-Qasimi Chair in Gulf Studies, until his appointment as Dean of Georgetown University's SFS-Qatar in 2011.[3]

He was a member of the UK's 2001 National Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) panel on Middle Eastern Studies, and served as Executive Director of the British Society for Middle Eastern Studies (BRISMES) between 1998 and 2002. He was Associate Fellow of the Middle East Programme at Chatham House (Royal Institute of International Affairs) until 2012.[4][5]
