Ellen Raphael is associated with the libertarian anti-environmental LM network.She is the Assistant Director of the controversial pro-GM lobby group Sense About Science. The Director is Tracey Brown.
Raphael studied Sociology at the University of Kent at Canterbury starting in the late 1990s. In 1998 she was quoted as part of the Open Campus group in a report in the Times Higher Education Supplement, written by Jennie Bristow (another associate of the LM network):
- At the University of Kent at Canterbury, students have launched a campaign to prevent increased security measures on campus. For one student, Ellen Raphael of the Open Campus group, it has all gone too far. The heightened emphasis on personal safety has students jumping at their own shadows, the 20-year-old sociology student believes.[1]
Raphael wnet on to reportedly gain a Masters degree from the University of Kent, Canterbury (UKC).[2] In 1999 while there she wrote an article for the magazine LM (formerly Living Marxism)[3] to which Brown, who also studied at UKC where she was a research associate of the sociologist Frank Furedi, has also contributed. All three are part of what might be termed the LM network.
Prior to Regester Larkin, Raphael worked for the British Pregnancy Advisory Service whose Chief Executive is Ann Furedi, the wife of Frank Furedi.
