Expertise
Jamal is Programme Director and Associate Professor at the Brussels School of Governance (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), Senior Lecturer at the University of Amsterdam, and Professorial Fellow at UNU-CRIS in Bruges. He holds a PhD in Politics from the University of Hull (2005). In Amsterdam, he lectures in the MA in European Studies, on the European Policy track, and he is affiliated to the ARTES and ACES research groups. At the VUB, he directs the EuroMaster programme, and lectures on EU policymaking as well as European Digital Sovereignty. At UNU-CRIS, Jamal heads up the Digital Governance cluster.
His research interests focus on digital sovereignty and related issues, specifically in a European (Union) context. He investigates how new forms of social and political organisation at the global level influence effectiveness and legitimacy of decision making. Jamal is particularly interested in the way in which the EU attempts to communicate its role in both domestic and international venues. He has also carried out research on how to optimise dialogue between disciplines to ensure relevant and useful research can help critique, design and improve policy.
Jamal can supervise PhD theses on topics of EU ICT policy both at the global and European levels.
