Michael Neu studied at the Universities of Siegen (Germany), British Columbia (Canada) and Sheffield (UK), whilst holding a scholarship from the German National Academic Foundation. He was awarded an M.A. in History and Politics from Siegen University (2006), and an M.A. in International Studies from Sheffield University (2005), for which he won the Bethan Reeves Memorial Prize.

Having received a University Research Studentship from Sheffield, he then spent three years studying for his PhD, which he was awarded in January 2010. For this work, he has won the Andrew Gamble Prize For an outstanding Thesis from the Politics Department of Sheffield University and the Sir Ernest Barker Prize for the best dissertaion in political theory from the Political Studies Association.

Michael is currently in the process of publishing his PhD work in the form of journal articles. His paper "Why there is no such thing as just war pacifism and why just war theorists and pacifists can talk nonetheless" has been accepted by Social Theory & Practice, including a response to a rewiever´s reply. Michael has three other papers under consideration and is currently working on three more, which he aims to finish by the summer. If he does not manage, this will be the fault of his German English students at the Städtisches Gymnasium Kreuztal, who are desperate to hear all about the difference between present perfect and present perfect progressive.
