Rebecca works on gambling and horse racing, human animal relations, the politics and ethics of gambling research, class, kinship, gender, risk, and money.
\nIn 2002, she began work on a comparative study of the British and North American thoroughbred breeding and racing industries, conducting fieldwork in Newmarket, England, and in the Bluegrass of Kentucky, focusing on kinship, gender and class. Her monograph about Newmarket, Sport of Kings, was published in 2002. A second monograph Horse People, based on her fieldwork in Kentucky, was published in 2007.
\nThis project was part of a broader interest in people’s relationships with their environment, including plants and animals. In 2004, Rebecca and Molly Mullin organised a Wenner Gren international symposium on the future of the concept of domestication within anthropology. The symposium, held in Tucson in 2005, involved anthropologists, archaeologists, linguists, biological anthropologists and historians from New Zealand, Australia, Norway, the United States and the United Kingdom. The resulting edited collection was published by Berg in 2007. In 2006, she embarked upon an Isaac Newton Trust supported project with Dr Mim Bower of the McDonald Institute of Cambridge University, combining ethnographic and DNA data in order to explore horse domestication in central Asia. She continues to be interested in questions about lives with animals, and wrote an article about climate change and human animal relations in 2012 for the Annual Review of Anthropology. In 2019, she created, with Professor Garry Marvin (Roehampton), a new book series with Routledge called Multispecies Anthropology: New Ethnographies.
\nMANE focuses exclusively on monographs which are based on first-hand, sustained, ethnographic fieldwork: an approach which allows for the exploration of the intricacies and immediacies of lives with other animals. It brings together detailed accounts of how humans experience, engage with, live with, other animals, but also with plants and other living matter, generated within particular social and cultural worlds as they are captured by fieldwork. This format enables authors to pursue some of the most important questions about our lives with others – and the role that anthropology might play in our futures together. Please get in touch if you have a suitable manuscript which you would like to be considered for publication as part of this exciting series.
\nAs well as human animal relations, Rebecca has a strong interest in gambling. Between 2006 and 2009, she ran a project funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and Responsibility in Gambling Trust, exploring the everyday lives of gamblers. Her fieldwork was based in betting shops in London where she spoke with punters and betting shop workers about the betting shop environment, licensing, legislation, and the social history of the gambling industry. This relates to her more general interests in money, stakes, risk, luck, work, deregulation, machines and numbers.
\nBetween 2010 and 2015, Rebecca was Principle Investigator of a project about gambling which was funded by the European Research Council (GAMSOC). She headed up a team of four researchers interested in how gambling might be studied in a way that preserves its cultural and historical variation. In 2013, the team published an edited collection Qualitative Research in Gambling: exploring the production and consumption of risk(edited with C. Loussouarn and A.Pisac).
\nThe GAMSOC team also produced an open access report describing the production of gambling research Download the Fair Game Report (PDF Download).
\nSince the publication of Fair Game, Rebecca has become increasingly interested in using qualitative methods to explore the expansion of commercial gambling and its affinity with capitalism. She has conducted fieldwork in London, Macau, Las Vegas, Gibraltar and at gambling industry conferences. She continues to explore the field of gambling research including the impact of funding, restrictions on academic freedoms and conflicts of interest. In 2018 she and Dr Francis Markham of ANU produced a code of ethics for gambling researchers which was adopted by members of the International Think Tank on Gambling.

Earlier projects she was involved in focused on middle-class families, parenting and reproductive change, within the context of economic liberalization and the life histories of former political activists in the 1970s Naxalite movement.
\nShe also has always had an interest in urban space, first working on gender, neighbourhoods and place-making and more recently on urban property and class relations. Urban property regimes are the focus of he current research project, which explores the way the lives of middle-class lifestyles are shaping urban politics, and how in return, intimate relations are re-ordered and re-imagined through neoliberal discourses on homeownership, possessive individualism, and ongoing urban restructuring.

He has conducted ethnographic research in the Philippines, Vietnam, Costa Rica and more recently Saudi Arabia. Research in the Philippines was concerned with gender and sexual diversity, in the context of both real and imagined movements of people and the growth of ethno-nationalist discourse. Research in Vietnam was concerned with the making of place and heritage at the World Heritage site of Hue, Vietnam. Together with Suzanne Clisby, he undertook a small pilot study focused on the social relations of environmentalism in Costa Rica. Later AHRC funded research focused on the place of religion in the experiences of Filipino migrant workers in the Middle East and Saudi Arabia in particular.
\nHis current funded research projects are as follows:
\nThe British Academy project, Big Data, Live Methods and Surveillance Subjectivities among British and Filipino Transnational Migrants in Hong Kong (2016-18) investigates ordinary people’s awareness of and perceptions about different sorts of surveillance they encounter travelling to and living and working in Hong Kong. The research explores in particular the connections between care and control in processes of watching and being watched. The research is a collaborative project with Prof Maggy Lee, University of Hong Kong, and Mike McCahill (University of Hull) working in conjunction with Lenlen Mesina, a freelance researcher.
\nThe AHRC Curating Development project (2016-18) investigates Filipino migrants’ contributions to development in the Philippines and involves academic and non-academic partners in Hong Kong, London and the Philippines (PI Johnson, CIs Deirdre McKay, Keele University and Maggy Lee, University of Hong Kong & Research Associate, Gabriela Nicolescu, ţţԴ). The research involves a series of arts based workshops that enabled participants, mainly Filipino care and domestic workers, to reflect on the different meanings of development and their contributions to that. Specifically participants were asked to share digital images stored on smartphones. Participants were also asked to bring objects which they either carried with them from their home place or that they had or intended to send back to people in the Philippines: prints were made of the digital images and the objects were photographed individually. Participants were then invited to write on and talk about objects, images, life projects and obstacles faced. We also worked with and commissioned artists to respond to the workshops and the images produced. The major output from this research has been an exhibition, entitled Beyond Myself, that was launched by His Excellency, Antonio M Lagdameo, the Philippine Ambassador to the UK, at ţţԴ in December 2017 and will travel to Manila and Hong Kong in 2018.
\nThe RCUK GCRF funded GlobalGRACE (Global Gender and Cultures of Equality) project investigates the production of cultures of equality in fragile contexts across the world. Co-directed by Suzanne Clisby and Mark Johnson and led by a team of researchers at ţţԴ, including Yasmin Gunaratnam, Nirmal Puwar and Jimmy Turner, GlobalGRACE brings together a large consortium of academic co-investigators and non-academic partners from Bangladesh, Brazil, Mexico, the Philippines, South Africa and the UK, as well as expert consultants from Europe and the USA. The project has two basic organising ideas. The first is that equality is a cultural artefact: our project seeks to investigate the variety of ways that equalities are made and contested in different parts of the world. The second is that cultures might best be understood as the practices through which people create the worlds they inhabit: our project investigates how people’s creativity produce moments when inequality can be challenged and engender new possibilities for more equitable ways of living together.

He is currently engaged with four projects:
\nUniversity futures and the global knowledge economy
Between 2010 – 2017 he was part of two EU funded international researcher exchange projects that explored university reform and globalisation, New Public Management, and universities in the global knowledge economy. He has continued this work and is currently researching the effects of indicators, rankings and New Public Management on the performance and subjectivity of academics.
Audit Culture: Indicators, Rankings and the New Word Order
Since 1999, he and Susan Wright (Aarhus University) have been studying the impact and effects of the introduction of new systems of measurement and management on organisations and society. He is current working completng book (with Susan Wright) entitled, Audit Culture: How Rankings, Indicators and Numbers Re-order the World, (Pluto Press).
Anthropology of Europe and the politics of austerity
In 1995, he embarked on an ESRC-funded ethnographic study of EU cultural policies, European integration and the EU civil service in Brussels. He continued this with research on EU diplomacy and European citizenship. He has continued his research on EU policies and institutions, most recently with a study of austerity in the Eurozone.
Anthropology of the state and constitutional reform
In 2014 he was awarded a major Royal Society of New Zealand ‘Marsden Fund’ award to carry out a three year study of ‘The Crown’ as an institution of government in postcolonial New Zealand and other Commonwealth countries. His most recent book (with David Williams) is The Shapeshifting Crown: Locating the State in Post-Colonial New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the UK (Cambridge University Press, 2019).
Cris welcomes potential PhD students with interests in Europe, policy, corruption, universities or the anthropology of organisations.

Her work on subcontracting in Naples and the questions arising regarding work and production at the boundaries of the formal and informal areas of the economy has a strong focus on gender and kinship, including household divisions of labour and the transmission of skills.
\nIn the Neapolitan research she explored the relationships between families, households and networks in relation to the activities of outworkers, factory workers and small-scale enterprises in the shoe and garments industries (\"Gender, Family and Work in Naples\", 1996; ‘Genere, donna e lavoro a Napoli’ in ‘Cultura Popolare a Napoli e in Campania nel Novecento' (ed.) A. Signorelli in \"Napoli e la Campania nel Novecento, Diario di un Secolo\", 2003).
\nThe themes of the Neapolitan research are central to the EU FP7 project that is coordinated by Professor Goddard. MEDEA (\"Models and their Effects on Development Paths: an Ethnographic and Comparative Approach to Knowledge Transmission and Livelihood Strategies\") focuses on the steel industry in four countries (Argentina, Brazil, Slovakia and Spain), tracing the trajectories of the industry in these four cases and providing ethnographic detail regarding the continuities and discontinuities of the experience of work, the transmission of skills and knowledge, as well as perceptions of security and insecurity in relation to the labour market.
\nThis interdisciplinary project combines the theoretical and methodological approaches of anthropologists, sociologists, economists and mathematicians based in universities and research centres in Italy, Spain, Slovakia, the United Kingdom, Argentina and Brazil, to explore the effects of discursive and abstract models through qualitative analysis and computer simulation modelling.
\nA different approach to work is pursued in her current writing on informal politics in Argentina that focuses particularly on forms of action that emerged and developed in the context of human rights activism and the politics of memory (‘New beginnings between public and private: Arendt and ethnographies of activism’, in \"Cultural Dynamics 2010\", with Sophie Day; ‘Demonstrating resistance: politics and participation in the marches of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo’, in \"Focaal\", 2007) .
\nThis interest feeds into and has been extended through her participation in an international research network on language and new technologies funded by the CNRS and coordinated by the University of Le Havre and the University of Rouen. This collaboration has encouraged an exploration of the uses of the internet as a site for the production of meaningful action (’Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me: the power of words in the making of a new public sphere’, in Foued Laroussi (ed.) \"Code-switching. Languages in Conflict and Electronic Writings\", 2011; ‘The paradoxes of belonging in the age of the internet. Time and feeling in cyberspace’, in Fabien Liénard and Sami Zlitni (eds) \"La communication électronique: enjeux de langues\" , 2011.
\nProfessor Goddard has pursued research on learning and the acquisition of skills in both academic and non-academic environments. This research was carried out as part of an EU Leonardo project (with Mara Benetti, 'Donne ed Informatica - report teorico', Leonardo da Vinci programme (RTF format, download) on Women and Computer Science: Access to the Information Society and, with Dr Bonnie Vandesteeg, through research funded by the LSTN Centre for Learning and Teaching – Sociology, Anthropology and Politics and an HEA special subject area (C-SAP) and an HEA award for research on the transition from A level to University.

Her book, Clothing Matters (1996) explored the decisive role played by dress in the assertion and maintenance of colonial authority in late19th century India and in the development and spread of Gandhian inspired nationalism in the 1920’s and 30’s. It also examined how tensions concerning gender, caste, class and religion continued to be played out through dress in rural and urban India in the late 1980's and early 1990's when she was conducting fieldwork in rural Gujarat and Delhi.
Emma's later research on dress focused on the growth of visibly Muslim dress in Britain and Europe and on the emergence of Islamic and modest fashion. Her book, Visibly Muslim: Fashion, Politics, Faith (Berg 2010) explored how issues of religious conviction, emotion, materiality, life history, politics and sociality combine in the clothing choices of young Muslims in London and are articulated through the emergence of new forms of Islamic fashion. These themes also feature in her book, Islamic Fashion and Anti-fashion: New Perspectives from Europe and America (co-edited with Annelies Moors, Bloomsbury 2013) which examines how the relationship between Islam and fashion takes on different inflections in different spaces in relation to migration histories, regimes of secularism and both global and national politics. The research also traces some of the new networks emerging over the internet and the role played by modest fashion in bringing women from different religious backgrounds into online dialogue.
Another significant strand of Emma Tarlo’s work concerns the politics of urban space. In the mid to late 1990s, she lived in Delhi for 3 years and was involved in collective and individual research about the city, focusing in particular on the lives and narratives of people who had been displaced through the massive \"slum clearance\" and \"family planning\" drives of the mid-1970s. The research which was archival, visual and ethnographic explored the relationship between official histories, archival records, local narratives and lived experiences and is published in her book, Unsettling Memories: Narratives of the Emergency (2003) which can also be read as an anthropological investigation and critique of state practices and their consequences.
\nEmma Tarlo’s long-term interests in the body, identity, aesthetics, materiality and trans-cultural enmeshment come together in her most recent research into the global trade in human hair. This project traced the journeys of hair around the world, tracing the choreography of the trade and the diverse social and cultural meanings invested in hair as it passes from head to head. The research was funded by the Leverhulme Trust (September 2013-2016). Emma Tarlo's book, Entanglement: The Secret Lives of Hair is currently being translated into Chinese and Korean.
\n\n
Emma Tarlo intends to continue conducting research on hair. She is also interested in developing research on the lives of people who leave orthodox religious communities and on the complexities of the relationship between the religious and secular in contemporary life.

This AHRC–funded project, directed by Reina Lewis, formed part of the AHRC Religion and Society programme.
Ros’s research on the trajectories of militant filmmaking in contexts of anti-colonial and revolutionary struggles in Mozambique, Angola, Portugal, Guinea-Bissau and Burkina Faso has involved exploring the use of film and video in rural development, the setting up of cooperatives, and the denunciation of colonial exploitation of natural resources, as well as the representation of radical social change.
\nThis research informs her forthcoming monograph entitled Cinemas of the Mozambican Revolution (James Currey, 2020).
\nRos has analysed the ecological and planetary resonances of work by artists including Renée Green, Antonio Ole and Kiluanji Kia Henda.
\nHer research interests in environmental violence and the politics of the soil is explored in a special issue of Third Text (Critical Perspectives on Contemporary Art and Culture), which she co-edited with Shela Sheikh, entitled ‘The Wretched Earth: Botanical Conflicts and Artistic Interventions’ (January 2018).
\nRos is the Coordinator of the ţţԴ Allotment, which, as well as providing a space for plant cultivation for staff and students, is a platform for various seasonal cultural events, workshops on aspects of sustainable gardening and plant breeding, and a space for meditation and developing thinking around forms of ‘care’ in the context of an educational institution.
\nHer current research is focused on developing new forms of eco-pedagogy concerned with soil care and cultivation through artistic practice.

Contemporary Art, Modern Art, the political economy of critical art, sovereignty and domination, critiques of liberal democracy, finance capital.
My initial research was on the theme of the invention in contemporary European philosophy and critical theory. This line of inquiry led to an examination of new media and digitisation which in turn generated three strands of research: first, an examination of technics in relation to human experience and thought; second, examination of particular artpractices in a variety of media; third, consideration of the conditions of critique and violence in contemporary democratic societies. This latter dimension has recently become the focus my research interests and I am currently working on a book examining the challenge to received notion of critique presented by contemporary manifestations of dominating power, primarily that of the US.
Contemporary Art and Artists
Critical Theory
Art and Politics
Political Philosophy
Interrogating the intersection of performative and cross-disciplinary practices with sculpture; testing the possibilities and parameters of the ‘prop object’; engaging with contemporary renderings of spatial, temporal, material and formal concerns in 3-dimensional work.

\nLenka’s current research focuses on three areas: The first area focuses on the role forests, forests, mushrooms and their foragers have played in the political imagination of heteropatriarchal coloniality in Europe. She examines how fungi have become ‘the threatening Other’ in the racist nationalisms in modern and contemporary Europe and how they can become a potent means to unravel the divisive binary ‘native’ vs. ‘alien.’ The second area concerns how gender operates in art education and entangles with Eurocentrism, capitalism and its correlate, the overcome state-socialism. The third strand of her research addresses the politics of the body in contemporary cultural theory, focusing on how translation–conceptualised as a necessary yet impossible practice–transforms the understanding of the key aspects of our political, socio-cultural and affective life such as embodiment, belonging and political and cultural representation.

Since joining the Department of Computing, ţţԴ College in January 2001 Dr James Ohene-Djan has actively conducted research in the areas of Adaptive, Intelligent Hypermedia, Assistive Learning Technologies for the Deaf and the Personalisation and Adaptation of advanced learning technologies.
\nAdaptive, Intelligent Hypermedia, is an area of research that aims to enhance the functionality of hypermedia systems such as the World Wide Web by making the user interaction process personalisable. The approach taken is to endow hypermedia systems with personalisation and machine learning adaptation features, which may be initiated by the users or, by the system itself.
Assistive Learning Technologies for the Deaf is a relatively new research area that aims to devise interactive systems and technologies to support the learning and teaching of deaf and hearing impaired students. Dr James Ohene-DjanÂ’s research aims to devise methods and techniques for the teaching of sign languages and writing systems using advanced digital media.
Personalisation of advanced learning technologies is an area of research that focuses on ownership transfer via personalisation as a value-adding strategy for advanced learning technology. This research aims to enhance interactive learning systems with features that enable the personalisation of the interactions between users and electronic learning materials such as hyper-documents.
Dr James Ohene-Djan research has resulted in 25 refereed publications in international journals and conference proceedings and has been presented at 10 international conferences. Dr James Ohene-Djan has acted as session chair and review committee member for the IEEE International Conference series on Advanced Learning Technologies.
He is a review committee member of Conference and Workshop on assistive Technologies for Vision and Hearing Impairment series.
He is currently supervising a PhD student, who is researching the area of systems interaction for the deaf and hearing impaired, and has previously been an Examiner for other PhD Students.
Other research areas include:
Deaf Technolgogies
Digital Sign Writing Technologies
Hypermedia and Hypertext Modelling
E-Commerce
Business Information systems
Database Management Systems
Currently Dr James Ohene-Djan is researching digital representations of sign languages, assitive technologies for the hearing-imparied, adaptive hypermedia systems and the application of personalisation techniques in the
development of learning technologies.
Dr James Ohene-Djan is currently conducting research in collaboration with the Royal National Institute for the Deaf, Deafax UK . James Ohene-Djan is a Trustee/Director of AACT.(Access-Ability Communications Technology) for Children: ACCT is a registered charity that Enables children, young people and adults with aphasia, autism, deafblindness, dyslexia, dysphasia, dyspraxia, dysphonia and dysgraphia to improve their speech, language and communications through the use of Information and Communication Technology.

\nHis approach combines theory with experimentation, in analyzing existing practices, building novel interactive technologies and systems, and studying their impact on real users in naturalistic settings. Much of my recent work has focussed on the challenges involved in searching, navigating and sense-making within complex information spaces. This has three primary facets:

Key features of this research are the outcomes that demonstrate how the information processing skills of 11 to 16 year olds may be enhanced at different points in their learning experience. I have been engaged in two strands of research in this respect both focussed upon development work within secondary schools and the agencies associated with this phase of education, including initial and in-service teacher education.
\nThe first analyses the effectiveness of cognitive intervention methodologies as applied to teaching and learning styles, initially with Key Stage 3 students (11 to 14 yrs) and later with Key Stage 4 (15 to 16 yrs). Ten years work in this field with co-researcher, Tony Hamaker, led to the publication of the cognitive tasks and support material as an effective means of wider dissemination that doubled as the research instrument for further study. Pilot studies are currently being planned for schools in India (in collaboration with Homi Baba Institute, Mumbai) and China (The Rego International School, Tianjin) where interest has been generated.
\nThe second strand analyses perceptions of information and communication technologies (ICT) concerning all parties involved in the learner-teacher engagement. Again, this has now become a unique longitudinal study utilising data derived by myself and co-researcher, Dominic Clare, spanning twelve years. During this period a number of national initiatives have come and gone that may have impacted upon ICT understanding and awareness in various ways. With these in mind, it has been of interest nationally and internationally to review the critical analysis of perceptual levels of teachers, Yr10 students and more recently, teacher training students (postgraduate and undergraduate). A major review of the research instrument used to collect and present findings was recently undertaken in light of emerging technologies and has presented new opportunities for comparative study that will impact upon classroom practice.

Sean’s research is focused on the ways in which designed objects (e.g. such things as shoes, jigsaw puzzles, children’s toys and drinking glasses), pieces of two-dimensional communication (e.g. films and cvs), sites of consumption and display (e.g. museums, shopping malls and lecture theatres), and contemporary theories of knowledge (e.g. Marxism and Wittgensteinianism) all have normalising conditions of production, and preset categories of reception and consumption.
\nTaking Roman Jacobson’s idea was that language should be “investigated in all the variety of its functions” (Jacobson 1960: 350 – 77) the aim of this research is to discern the various ways in which a change in the function of language (through use) can lead to a change in meaning. However, whilst Jacobson’s own theory provides fascinating insights into the relationship between meaning and use, my current interest is to go beyond its application to linguistic acts. This research, then, seeks to extend Jacobson’s insights. It does this by showing how the notion of the “shifter” can be used to enhance the theories and practices of design through contextual alteration. Using both theory and practice as a means of innovation, this research demonstrates new ways of engaging with various images, objects, and theories of design by “shifting” them into new (and often strange) sites and situations. The following research contributions, then, should be seen in the light of an interrogation of use through different ways of “shifting” meaning.

\nEsther’s underpinning research is to do with Youth Programmes in art galleries and how the infrastructure of gallery youth programmes can help us to understand more about building inclusive and equal societies. She is interested in the similarities between the governance of galleries in the public sector and the structures that exist in government in a democratic society. For example: in its drive to include the public in shaping its programmes, the gallery shares the democratic will of government. That is, ‘the insertion of those outside the democracy into democracy’ (Bingham and Biesta, 2010).
This research is a critique of inclusion agendas and the way they can dictate the activity of cultural organisations where there is sometimes an over-emphasis on numbers, who is included and who is not. See, Sayers, E. (2016). From Art Appreciation to Pedagogies of Dissent: Gallery Education Rethinks the Inclusion Agenda. In Hickey-Moody, A. & Page, T. [Eds.]. Arts, Pedagogy and Cultural Resistance: New Materialisms. International: Rowman and Littlefield. November 2015.
An ongoing engagement with practice based research means that Esther approaches the problem of how to engage new publics; not as the insertion of those outside of the existing order into it, but as more of a disruptive process where those will no voice acquire one.
See, Sayers, E. (2014). An ‘Equality of Intelligences’: Exploring the Barriers to Engagement with Modern and Contemporary Art in Peer-to-Peer Workshops at Tate Modern iJADE, Volume 33, Issue 3, 358-361. ISSN1476-8062.
The key principles of Esther’s research are that working collaboratively produces negotiated understandings of knowledge. That genuine co-working is difficult and we have to accept that we are not bringing people round to our way of thinking but allowing our own ideas to be challenged and questioned. Being open to another point of view, not so that we change our own necessarily but so that dialogue can lead us to understanding. Embrace debate, seek out antagonistic questions and be prepared for the disruptive nature of an authentic search for equality. We need to consider modes of relating to one another and the ethics of that interaction and work around the instrumentalist drive through which we aim towards inclusion and instead start with equality (Ranciere, 1991).
Recent research has focused on ArtScapers, see the project's educational resource. ArtScapers is a project located around the North West Cambridge Development. Commissioned by Contemporary Art Society and Insite Arts in 2013 to write a strategy for education at the development, Esther has been developing ArtScapers, a nine-year project, with Cambridge Curiosity and Imagination, a social enterprise collaborating with artists in creativity research, practice and community development. The focus is on exploring change and ways that creative practices can help children to engage with the urban renewal happening in their area. Schools adjacent to the development, are working alongside as co-researchers to creatively speculate about what makes a community. This ties in with themes of democracy and cultural inclusion from Esther’s previous research and specifically the means by which communities of learners are built.
More information about CCI and the ArtScapers programme.
ArtScapers web resource is a toolkit for educators interested in investigating change in their local area through co-researching alongside children. The ArtScapers programme has been devised and delivered by Esther Sayers and Cambridge, Curiosity and Imagination, a social enterprise collaborating with artists in creativity research, practice and community development. The web resource was produced in partnership with LMNOP Studios.
Current research
Building on my research into processes of learning in art galleries I am interested in what motivates people to engage, explore and in turn to learn. The exhilaration of engaging with an artwork requires a kind of concentration, focus and reward that is seen in sports activities. Such immersion, I argue, mimics the process of engaging with the arts. To pursue an action sport a person has to find a balance between risk, skill and the sub conscious. Pushing limits is an important part of creativity and learning to take risks builds resilience. I am currently exploring the various pedagogies that operate within the skatepark with a particular focus on older women as a means to explore the navigation of risky behaviours, age and motherhood.

\nJim’s recent research has focused on the development of integrated and inclusive approaches to language teaching looking in particular at appropriate pedagogies for community/heritage language learners studying in mainstream and complementary school contexts. He has directed two projects on behalf of the Nuffield Foundation. The first (2004-2007) led to the creation of Curriculum Guides for Arabic, Mandarin, Panjabi, Tamil and Urdu, published by CILT, The National Centre for Languages. The second (2009-2011) investigated creativity in the community languages classroom from the perspectives of pedagogy and professional development of teachers.
\nIn 2012, with Vicky Macleroy, he was awarded a grant by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation for a two year project entitled ‘Critical Connections: a multilingual digital storytelling project’. Drawing on this work he has co-edited a book with Dr Vicky Macleroy entitled ‘Multilingual Digital Storytelling: Engaging creatively and critically with literacy’ published by Routledge.
\nTo enable further investigation of the significance of multilingual digital storytelling in the context of multiliteracy research, the Paul Hamlyn Foundation agreed to fund a second project entitled ‘Critical Connnections II: Moving on with multilingual digital storytelling’ (2015-2017) For this project partnerships were formed with the British Film Institute, the British Museum, the Museum of London and the National Resource Centre for Supplementary Education. An offshoot from the project was the development of resources to support creative interactions with museum artefacts in the teaching of language-and-culture. Jim was particularly involved in the development of a language in art resource for the Arabic language classroom focussing on the work of artist, Ali Omar Ermes. Complementary teacher professional development guidance was also provided with support from Qatar Foundation International.

\nMy research interests include 19th and 20th Century American literature, in particular writing from the 1930s and the intersections between literature and politics, ideology and aesthetics. In particular, I have written on philosophy and aesthetics in transcontinental literature, on the use of obscenity and the infusion of Surrealism into American writing. For a number of years, I have been working on photography; its use in documentary studies and how images interact with writing. My most recent project traces transcendental and aesthetic devices in a number of photo-textual collaborations between writers and photographers in the first half of the 20th Century.
\nI am also working on a special edition for The Journal of American Studies on New Topographics: American Landscape Photography. My contriubution to the online Oxford Research Encyclopedia on the Photo- Text is now accessible under 'recent publications'(June 2017).

\nThe Afterlife of Holocaust Memory in Contemporary Literature and Culture:
\nAs living memories of the Holocaust die out with the generation that witnessed the event, practitioners of memory work have focused on the transmission of memory to the next generations. Recent Holocaust memorialisation, in the form of literature, museums, memorials and monuments, must make Holocaust memory meaningful for those born after the event. With this in mind, the arts of Holocaust memorialisation often provoke a sense of secondary memory or vicarious witnessing, an attempt to experience Holocaust memory or even trauma by proxy– in short, the remembrance of things not witnessed.
\nRecent academic theories of Holocaust memory and trauma are correspondent with these current memorial practices. The problem with this theoretical paradigm, which seems to be shaping current memorial projects of different genres, is that it overlooks the way post-Holocaust memory work can become appropriative, displacing or colonising the memories of witnesses, replacing their trauma with a kind of equivalent experienced vicariously. Such a memorial regime, in which trauma becomes universalised and homogenised, tends to lose sight of the specificity of particular acts of remembering, the identities formed in relation to the remembrance of past events, and the ethical and political questions raised by those acts and identifications.
\nThis book, Afterlife, identifies the ethical implications of such memory work where it becomes appropriative and universalising. Afterlife theorises more robustly the transmission or inheritance of trauma via Holocaust memorials, monuments, museums, and literature in order to differentiate types of trauma and traumatized identities and to reinstall the particularities of memory work. Afterlife investigates the ethical and political ramifications of different instances and practices of memory work and of the identities produced by such work. Afterlife does this by scrutinizing theoretical approaches to the work of W.G. Sebald and Bernard Schlink, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the museum and memorial architecture of Daniel Libeskind and Peter Eisenman, and generates a series of more self-reflexive readings of such representations of the Holocaust.
\nMy research is primarily focused on nineteenth-century literature, visual culture, and music, specifically literary decadence, and Anglo-French cultural relations at the fin de siècle. My recent publications include Decadence and Literature, co-edited with David Weir (Cambridge UP, 2019), Monsters Under Glass: A Cultural History of Hothouse Flowers from 1850 to the Present (Reaktion, 2018), Arthur Symons: Selected Early Poems, co-edited with Chris Baldick (MHRA, 2016), and Decadence and the Senses, co-edited with Alice Condé (Legenda, 2016). I am currently editing with David Weir the Oxford Handbook of Decadence (forthcoming 2021) and Decadent Plays, 1890-1930, co-edited with Adam Alston (forthcoming with Bloomsbury, 2023).
\nI also publish in the fields of history and psychoanalysis. I have worked as an editor on the Collected Works of Jeremy Bentham (Oxford), on the journal Utilitas (Edinburgh UP), and as a translator, most recently of manuscript material for Bentham, Law and Marriage (2011) by Mary Sokol. My work in psychoanalysis is both theoretical and clinical in orientation, focusing on two principal ideas: resistance and complementarity; and my most recent publication in this field is Presence of Mind in Neurophysiological Processes, co-written with Lawrence Goldie.

\nPia’s research explores the construction of identity in everyday spoken interaction, focusing in particular on the interplay of gender with other socio-cultural and situational practices and identities. Pia works with mostly self-recorded, spontaneous conversational data which she explores from cross-disciplinary perspectives, combining tools from linguistic discourse analysis and sociocultural linguistics with insights from cultural studies, anthropology, sociology and social psychology. This research explores a wide range of topics, including linguistic indexicality, intersectionality, processes of authentication and identification, and draws on a wide range of methodological frameworks, such as sociocultural linguistics, linguistic ethnography, interactional sociolinguistics, and conversation analysis.
\nPia recently organised a conference, entitled ‘Ethnographies of Language, Gender and Sexuality’ at ţţԴ. For more information see the conference website:
\nYou are stupid, you are cupid’: playful polyphony as a resource for affectionate expression in the talk of a young London couple
\nThis study shows that linguistic discourse analysis can make a significant contribution to our understanding of how affection is expressed in intimate relationships. The research focuses on the playful switching of frames, voices, codes and personas which emerges as central to the affectionate practice in the spontaneous talk of a young multi-cultural London couple. It argues that quantitative interview studies based on an a-priori understanding of affection are unable to capture many of the idiosyncratic and creative ways in which speakers express their affection for one another in their intimate talk.
\nAfter securing funding from ţţԴ’ Research Intern Scheme (GRIP) in June 2019, Pia has been able to embark on the second phase of this project which will involve a selection of different couples recording their spontaneous everyday talk. Watch a video highlighting Pia's research.
\nHipsters in the hood: authenticating indexicalities in young men’s hip hop talk
\nThis research explores the spontaneous hip hop talk of four young London men from multi-ethnic working-class backgrounds. One of the young men was Pia’s former MA students who played an important role in the research and collaborated with Pia on one of her papers. In their self-recorded talk the speakers position themselves in relation to a range of ‘cultural concepts’ and (classed, raced) practices and identity performances which signal various affiliations with hip hop. We explore how the young men authenticate when they talk about ‘hipsters’ moving into the ‘hood’, ‘white posh girl’ appropriating ‘world star’ hip hop culture, and South London gangs’ displaying violence and bling.
\nTalking Young Femininities
\nThis project explores the spontaneous, self-recorded talk of adolescent British girls from different socio-cultural backgrounds, including girls from a prestigious private school, the British Bangladeshi community and the East End in London. The project explores a range of questions on the basis of the girls’ conversations about friends, friendships, boys, parents, music, drugs, school, sex, (arranged) marriage and social class:

\nDr Wald's research interests lie across the fields of imperial, social and medical history. In particular, Dr Wald focusses on the nineteenth century in colonial India.
\nDr Wald's past research explored the interlinked themes of the military, medicine and morality in early nineteenth century India. Her book, Vice in the Barracks: Military, Medicine and the Making of Colonial India looks at the ways in which concerns over ‘vice-driven’ health threats – such as venereal disease and drunkenness in the army dictated the colonial state’s policies.
\nDr Wald's new project examines the role of medical knowledge networks across British India.

Professor Davis’ research has covered several areas. One of these is public relations and the interaction of PR with news journalism. His earliest studies were of corporate and trade union public relations. He was interested in questions of how PR affected news outputs and also in comparing how different organisational sectors in society interacted with news media. This resulted in his first book, Public Relations Democracy (2002, MUP), and several articles in media and journalism journals. He has returned periodically to the topic, extended this work to look at the promotional professions more generally, including PR, advertising, marketing and branding. As well as teaching in these areas, he has also published a wide-ranging study, Promotional Cultures (2013, Polity).
\n
A second ongoing area of research for Professor Davis is political communication, broadly defined. His earlier work looked at trade union and interest group campaigning. But, he has also regularly looked at politicians, political parties, civil servants and political journalists. Much of this research was published in two books, The Mediation of Power (2007, Routledge) and Political Communication and Social Theory (2010, Routledge). The second of these was based on 100 interviews with politicians, officials and journalists. Findings were also published in journals of media, journalism, and politics. His most recent book, Political Communication: A New Introduction for Crisis Times (Polity, 2019), engages with the dramatic shifts in democratic political and media systems since 2016.
A third continuing area of interest cuts across economic sociology, cultural economy and financialization. His first research on public relations looked at financial public relations and media, as well as communications more generally in the City. Later, he returned to interview fund managers and analysts operating around the London Stock Exchange. He was particularly interested in the dot.com boom and bust of 2000, with obvious implications for what happened in the 2007-08 financial crash. Since then, he has interviewed former civil servants and ministers in the Treasury and former DTI about economic policy and the financial sector, as well as large company CEOs about their communication, social relations and decision-making. Findings have been published in each of the above books as well as in journals of media, politics and sociology. Since 2014, Professor Davis has been Co-Director of the ţţԴ Political Economy Research Centre (PERC) with Will Davies, which seeks to explore alternative approaches to mainstream neoclassical economics. He is currently writing a book for MUP focusing on the UK Treasury and the evolution of economic policymaking since 1976.
In most of this research, there have been several linking strands. Most obvious is a continuing focus on elites, their social worlds and networks. In various ways, he wishes to explore the communications, behaviours, cognitions, cultures, discourses and organisational elements of elites and centres of power, and the implications for wider society. His interview findings are combined with larger political and economic data. This has all been put together in the book Reckless Opportunists: Elites at the End of the Establishment (MUP, 2018). He also published a co-edited (with Karel Williams of CRESC) special journal edition for Theory, Culture and Society, on Elites and Power After Financialization.
My current research interests includes:
1. Cultural Studies
The British Cultural Studies tradition provides one important framework my research. This concentrates popular culture, the street technology and bass culture of the sound system and reggae and dancehall music in Jamaica. In fact this follows in my father Fernando Henriques’ footsteps in Family and Colour in Jamaica where he researched Jamaican popular culture in the 1950s which was then African-inspired religious cults. My monographs include Sonic Bodies which investigated the performance techniques and practices of the sound system crew of engineers, selectors and MCs; and Sonic Media (forthcoming) that investigates the ways-of-making of the set of equipment and audience’s experience of space and time in the dancehall session and the culture of dancehall scene.
2. Sound Studies
Within this field I am particularly interested is auditory epistemologies, that is to say ways-of-knowing and ways-of-thinking through sound, where meaning is non-representational and often has affective impact. These sensibilities tend to be embodied, tacit and can be ritualistic, compared to traditional epistemic knowledge of text or image. Rhythmic patterning, ratio and proportion, diagrams and topological forms are often useful ways to capture such sonic wisdoms. As well as knowledge sound builds are sense of self and identity which has been a long-running interest in psychology (my first degree) since being a founding member of the editorial collective for the journal Ideology & Consciousness and joint author of Changing the Subject.
3. Narrative Media
My filmmaking work in both documentary and fiction fuelled my abiding interest in storytelling through sound and image. There is no more rigorous and economical written document than a feature film script. One on-going project is Eko & Her Sonic Warriors that takes the experimental form of a “sonographic” novel. For one episode graphic novel type images are cinema-projected to tell a story with a text of silent film type inter-titles and an atmospheric dub soundtrack.
4. Practice as Research
Creative practices often involve ways-of-knowing of which the practitioner is not necessarily consciously aware. This means that creative practice can reveal knowledge that cannot be unearthed otherwise either through observation, or experimentation or theoretical reflection. This leads to a methodology involving critical reflection on an art work and its production, as with my sound sculpture Knots & Donuts in the Tate Modern as part of the Topology Talks series, published in Theory, Culture & Society journal. An ongoing project with UCL includes an innovative multi-screen and multi-sound channel installation for the immersive experience of a biomedical documentary.

Title: Mobile Media Practices in Everyday Life: Negotiating Commercial Infrastructures and State Control in Mainland Southeast Asia
Abstract: This project initiates a long-term partnership between the Centre for Contemporary Social and Cultural Studies at Thammasat University, Thailand, and the Media Ethnography Group at ţţԴ. The aim of the partnership is to establish a strong international network, and to build the capacity of postgraduate and early career researchers, to advance new ethnographic methods and critical perspectives for researching the unpredictability of everyday mobile media practices in mainland Southeast Asia. The proposition unifying the project’s training and research exchange activities concerns the need to conceptualise mobile media and agency by researching people’s everyday negotiation of the contradictory realities of mobile media infrastructure. The partnership is an ideal context for developing methods attuned to the paradoxes of connectivity, particularly the ways that states in the region have sought to harness the economic promise of digital connectivity whilst simultaneously exercising control over the way in which their citizens use these communication tools.
British Academy/ASEASUK Visiting Fellowship (2014-15)
Title: Projecting for the Spirits: Film Projection as Ritual Offering in Thailand
Synopsis: Outside an urban network of multiplexes and purpose-built cinema venues a thriving alternative circuit exists in Thailand, across the rural Northeast of the country and in suburban Bangkok. Open-air film shows at sacred and communal sites, the grounds of Buddhist temples and local spirit shrines, are staged as an integral part of diverse ritual practices. The research project details the presentational repertoires that characterise these events and discusses the multiplicity of factors that shape them: the infrastructures of marginal film distribution, image projection and sound technologies and their skilled operation, and ideas of efficacy and auspiciousness informing ritual praxis. These presentational repertoires are understood as constructing ambivalently public occasions. They construct an aura of publicness through their choice of site and a preference for grand scale and volume: the large temporary screen erected on scaffolding, overwhelmingly immersive sonic volume and high-resolution image quality, but their primary address is to supernatural beings rather than a (human) public. As such this is a mode of film exhibition that complicates our notion of the intrinsic sociality of film projection by channelling these properties towards practices of religious mediation.
Current Research
\nThe Humanitarian Technologies project:
\nI'm currently the PI for the ESRC grant 'Humanitarian Technologies: communication environments in disaster recovery and humanitarian intervention'.
\nThis is an 18-month ethnography of the the uses and consequences of communication technologies in the disaster recovery from Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest storms ever recorded with over 6000 casualties and more than 12 million people affected. The research investigates the uses of digital technologies and innovations such as mobile phones, SMS, crisis mapping and social media both by directly affected populations in the Philippines and other stakeholders (humanitarian organisations and government departments).
\nThe World Disasters Report in 2013 uses the term 'Humanitarian Technologies' to refer to the empowering nature of communication technologies for disaster-affected communities ‘to coordinate and respond to their own problems’ which can potentially correct some of the power asymmetries of humanitarianism. Despite the current optimism surrounding the uses of digital technologies in processes of recovery and rebuilding there is little evidence to assess the impact of digital platforms for humanitarian relief. Our research aims to weigh the optimism surrounding so-called ‘humanitarian technology’ against actual benefits to users. It specifically examines the impact of communication technologies in the following critical areas: information dissemination; collective problem-solving; redistribution of resources; accountability and transparency of humanitarian efforts; and voice and empowerment of affected populations.
\nThis 18-month ethnographic study takes place in two disaster-affected locations in the Visayas region of the Philippines. This is a mixed-method project combining qualitative interviews, participant observation and online ethnography both with affected populations and representatives from humanitarian organisations, government agencies and digital practitioners.

\nNetworked Migration:
\nI continue to write on the convergence of migrant networks and networked technologies drawing on comparative research with Filipino migrants in the US and the UK. Themes explored include: citizenship and visibility, fundraising and social capital. The research also explores the cumulative effects of communication technologies on the phenomenon of migration as a whole.
\nPolymedia, separation and ambient co-presence:
\nDrawing on long term (over eight years) ethnographic research with migrants who face prolonged separation from their families, I develop publications on the nature of mediated environments and forms of co-presence in situations of physical absence and mobility. The extreme case of prolonged separation that some migrants face can offer insights into the more ordinary workings of mediation and mediated interpersonal relationships.
\nRecently completed projects:
\nMigration and New Media: transnational families and polymedia
\nI have recently completed an ESRC-funded study on Migration, ICTs and the transformation of transnational family life (2007-2011). This research investigates how parents and children who are separated because of migration care for each other using new media such as mobile phones, email, instant messaging, social networking sites and webcam. This was a three-year ethnographic project, in collaboration with Daniel Miller (UCL), in which we worked with Filipino and Caribbean people living in London and Cambridge as well as their left-behind families in the Philippines and Trinidad. Our book ‘Migration and New Media: transnational families and polymedia’ was published by Routledge in November 2011. For other journal articles from this research please see under ‘Publications’. You can read some reviews of ‘Migration and New Media’ here: http://mcs.sagepub.com/content/35/6/782.extract

\nMedia, Nationalism and Transnational Identities: the boundary-making role of the news media.
\nMy first book, Mediating the Nation (2005) put forward a new approach for the study of media and nationalism focusing on citizens’ experience of the political entity of the nation through television news. Drawing on a two-year ethnography of television viewing in Greece, the book followed the range of public discourses about the nation found in the Greek news and compared them to the everyday discourses and practices about the nation both among Greeks and members of the Turkish minority, a beached diaspora. The book develops an argument about the mediation of symbolic boundaries for inclusion and exclusion from public life.
\nEmotional and moral consequences of mediation
\nThe above work launched a strand in my research that examines the boundary-making role of media and the nature of mediation. I continue to write on these topics most recently addressing the emotional and ethical implications of digital mediation drawing on examples such as the Leveson inquiry and the viral Kony 2012 campaign. I’m the co-editor of the book Ethics of Media (2013, with N. Couldry and A. Pinchevski).

Maria’s research focuses on the culture of ‘classical’ musical performance – how it is created, transmitted and transformed – in the context of Higher Education, and explored through ethnographic research methods. Topics of particular interest to her are value and belief systems of the ‘performance community’; musical performance and the ‘hidden curriculum’; feeding back in musical performance.
\nMaria's eastern European musical heritage has led her to focus also on XIX and XX Russian composers. She has made a special study of the piano music of Schnittke and has appeared in recitals for the International Centre for Russian Music and the South Bank Centre. She has contributed to the book Seeking the soul: the music of Alfred Schnittke (published by the Guildhall School of Music and Drama) with her chapter ‘The Interpretation of Schnittke’s Piano Pieces: raising some questions’.
\nOther research interests include the study of the ‘evolving’ nature of performance style through recordings; the exploration of yoga techniques and principles that encourage a healthy physical approach to instrumental/vocal practice and performance; the use of software programmes for data management and as analytical tools in qualitative research.

In this vein also, I am interested in the (de) differentiation between ‘contemporary art’, ‘heritage’, ‘education’ and other areas of practice. Additionally here I have explored notions of (un)‘education’ both in ‘artistic’ and in ‘gallery’ practices.
\nI have recently been involved in a collaborative research project, funded by Arts Council England, engage, Museums and Library Archives Association and the Reading Agency. This study investigated the practices, learning outcomes and impact of writers/ visual artists who are currently working with young people and educators in cultural sites and schools.

His concern in all of this is the question of how political and philosophical issues have been excluded from everyday economic practices, and how they might be reintroduced, for critical and transformative purposes. He is especially interested in the history of neoliberalism, and more recently in how mental wellbeing has become an economic policy issue. In order to consider how economic institutions can be constructed differently, he has also carried out research on co-operatives and alternative economic practices.

\nMarinella’s main themes of research relate to cognitive psychology and neuroscience, and in particular to the study of the brain across the lifespan. Her key-areas of interest are listed below. For full details on projects see ‘forthcoming’.
\nRebecca’s research focuses on the psychology and neuroscience of the production and perception of visual art. I am particularly interested in the mechanisms by which artists acquire their expertise, and the impact of engagement with the visual arts can have on education and mental health. I am also interested in how individual differences in perception interact with learning and cognition.
\n
• Aesthetics of visual art
• Artistic expertise
• Creativity
• The role of art-making in education and mental health
• Individual differences in attention and perception
• Perception in neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g. dyslexia and autism spectrum disorder)
Rebecca’s research interests relate to factors that change in ageing and how understanding these factors can help promote healthy ageing. Her work investigates how cognition and social-cognition (especially understanding others) changes as we age; the risk factors for developing depression in later-life and the factors that may protect against depression; and how ageing impacts autistic adults. She is a member of the Cognition and Neuroscience Group and the Forensic and Clinical Science Group, as well as leading the GoldAge Lab www.goldagelab.co.uk/. Key areas of interest are listed below.
\nGianna’s research mainly focuses on cognitive disorders caused by brain lesions or brain degeneration (such as dementia). Key areas are listed below:
\nMy research largely focuses on understanding how variation in key personality traits is underpinned by emotional and motivational states, and the neural systems that potentially regulate these processes.
\nMost recently, this research has focused on how individual differences in extraversion relate to the experience of positive affective states and approach to rewarding stimuli, and how the links between these processes are underpinned by dopaminergic processes in the brain.
\nRelated to this research, I am also interested in the role that impulsivity-related personality traits and emotional states play in decision-making and risk-taking broadly, and in the context of substance use and gambling more specifically.
\nLastly, my work in these areas has often involved the development and testing of psychometric instruments, and so I am interested in the application of statistical techniques, such as Item Response Theory, in the development and testing of measurement tools in personality and clinical research.

My primary research interest is in developmental disorders, especially autism. Since completing my PhD on musical cognition in autism in 1999, I have been a principal researcher or research group leader on EU and ESRC grant applications investigating remediation of sensory abnormalities, pitch and colour discrimination and memory, and colour categorisation in autism.
\nBefore studying psychology I trained as a classical singer and retain a strong interest in the cognitive neuropsychology of music. In particular I am interested in how musical information processing distinguishes atypical and typically developing children and adolescents. My current interests mainly focus on investigating the relationship between speech and music perception in autism, SLI, Down syndrome and typical development.

The goal of Yulia’s research is to provide insights into the development of individual differences in cognitive abilities, emotional and motivational processes and academic achievement - contributing to more personalised educational approaches and to better education for all learners.
\nMy current research focuses on four areas:
\n\n
1. Michelangelo Phenomenon: According to the sculptor Michelangelo, \"ideal forms\" slumber within blocks of marble; the sculptor's job is simply to chip away the excess stone in such a manner as to reveal the ideal form. Analogously, humans possess slumbering ideal forms – the ideal self to which each individual aspires. Comparable to blocks of stone, the ideal self often requires assistance in its efforts to emerge. This research examines the various ways in which close partners facilitate movement toward the ideal self, through examining various factors involving partner and target characteristics (e.g., various individual differences), goal characteristics (e.g., difficulty, importance, likelihood), and situational characteristics (e.g., conflicting interests).
\nSee:
\nRusbult, C. E., Finkel, E. J., & Kumashiro, M. (2009). The Michelangelo Phenomenon. Current Directions in Psychological Science, 18, 305-309.
\n\n
2. Maintaining an equilibrium between personal and relational concerns: In close relationships, it is often difficult to simultaneously gratify important needs in two of the most powerful and central sources of human concerns: personal and relational. It is inevitable that individuals will sometimes confront the choice between engaging in behaviours that promote personal well-being (e.g., working long hours, spending time on hobby) versus relational well-being (e.g., spending time together, supporting other’s career aspirations). How individuals resolve such personal-relational conflicts may have important implications for both personal and relational well-being. The personal-relational equilibrium model predicts that individuals are motivated to regulate their behavior to maintain equilibrium between the personal and relational domains.
\nSee:
\nKumashiro, M., Rusbult, C. E., & Finkel, E. J. (2008). Navigating personal and relational concerns: The quest for equilibrium. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 95, 94-110.
\n\n
3. Bolstering attachment security: Individuals form working models of the ‘self’ and ‘other’ based on early childhood attachment caregiving experiences. Attachment anxiety typically results from negative model of the self, whereas attachment avoidance typically results from negative model of other’s reliability and dependability, and individuals behave in a manner to elicit confirmation of their working models. The fill-in-the-void model suggests that attachment security may be bolstered over time when romantic partners are able to help anxious individuals feel more confident about themselves and avoidant individuals feel that the partner is trustworthy.
\nSee:
\nArriaga, X. B., Kumashiro, M., Finkel, E. J., VanderDrift, L. E., & Luchies, L. B. (2014). Filling the void: Bolstering attachment security in committed relationships. Social Psychological and Personality Science, 5, 398-406.
\n\n
4. Application of above research in work, educational, health, or social media settings: Applying above research areas to interpersonal interactions in work settings (e.g., with managers and co-workers; examining work-life balance; well-being at work and home), educational or mentoring settings (e.g., how do mentors enhance or hinder motivation and self-regulation toward important goals and help individuals set the right kind of goals), health settings (e.g., effects of social support on motivation and well-being), and social media settings (e.g., how does social media affect personal growth and well-being).

My research interests include topics related to Developmental Psychology and Neuroscience, including savant syndrome. I have published research papers on specific learning difficulties including developmental dyslexia, autism, savant talent and cognitive and social aspects of visual impairment. In connection with the latter I have published on a broad variety of issues including autobiographical memories, musical processing, early infancy, Braille reading and raised line and picture recognition. I have advised on museum access in relation to both adults and children with visual impairments and have been working in this field for over 20 years.
\nIn recent years I have been interested in the interface between psychology (cognitive and neuroscience) and the arts for example – museum conference presentations (Art Beyond Sight: Metropolitan Museum of Art 2005/2008), research (with Sheridan; Mapping Arts, Health and Higher Education Collaborative Projects in London 2007), organizing conferences (e.g. with Victoria & Albert Museum and St Dunstans Charity for visual impairment ‘In Touch with Art’, 2007) and teaching (Multimodal approaches to learning.

In these combined roles, Prof Baker is developing new research, theory and publication around one of the defining trajectories of the 21st century – namely the newly visible role and impact of religion and belief on public life, and its political, social, economic, urban, policy and theological implications at both global and local levels. He is the originator of spiritual capital theory in its current policy and academic discourse, a leading exponent of postsecular theory and a pioneer of the spatial turn in theology, as well as interdisciplinarity in the study of religion and belief for policy.

Her qualitative empirical work investigates this issue through studying the intersection of gender, international criminal law, and transitional justice. She has an ongoing concern with feminist and socio-legal methodologies.
\nKirsten is currently the principal investigator of a European Research Council funded project, ‘The Gender of Justice’. This four-year project studies the prosecution of sexual violence in armed conflict through case studies of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the Bosnian courts.
\nKirsten completed a major study of the models of subjectivity and sociality in international criminal justice. This is the subject of her forthcoming book, The Justice of Humans. Kirsten has also recently finished an ERC-funded socio-legal study of transitional justice in Spain and Bosnia (‘Bosnian Bones, Spanish Ghosts’). This work built on Kirsten’s previous ESRC-funded research on shifts in the legal regulation of armed conflict, ‘Regulating Armed Conflict’.
\nThis research develops Kirsten’s earlier work on new forms of feminist subjectivity and sociality. Her book, Jacques Lacan and Feminist Epistemology, developed a social theory of feminist transformations of gendered subjects and social relations. Feminist Theory described this approach as offering ‘a new project for third-wave feminism’.

These organisations are often hierarchical and they have great powers to re-organize the population, to tell people where to go, to give or withhold both material and other forms of help. Disaster situations are thus in many ways pre-structured by the programmes of these organisations and how they conceptualize the population.
\nMichael Guggenheim seeks to analyze in his project „Organizing Disaster: Civil Protection and the Population“ the encounter between civil protection as state organisation and the population. What happens when civil protection encounters the population in case of disasters? How does civil protection conceive of the population and how does it influence what happens in case of disasters? Is the population seen as uniform or as composed of different groups? How are these groups addressed? Does civil protection simply attempt to restore a previous state or change society into a given direction? How does the population conceive of civil protection in turn?
\nBy drawing on Science and Technology Studies civil protection is analysed as a knowledge-based, organised attempt to order society with the help of various technologies. The project seeks to answer the above questions by combining document analysis of civil protection manuals, participant observation of civil protection trainings and qualitative interviews in the aftermath of flood-disasters. The empirical fields are England, Switzerland and India, to allow for comparison of different forms of centralization and professionalization of civil protection organisations.

\nWith Research stays at the research group “communicating disasters” at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF) Bielefeld. And Akademie Schloss Solitude
\nThe project focuses on provision and care in the event of anticipated emergencies. These provisions serve as vanishing points to imagine different concrete futures. During the project we gather several versions of emergency provisions that we test under experimental emergency conditions. Our aim is to find out about how to live a good life – in the face of anticipated futures.
\nThis approach is based on the observation that societies are driven by reactions to disasters scenarios, but that the methods how to prepare for those scenarios, even though they are of tremendous importance, belong to the so-called grey sciences and are largely hidden from public debate. By grey sciences we refer to formal and informal actors like logistics, heritage protection, household economics, allocation and regulation authorities, quality managers, insurance organisations, and psychologists that are involved in decision-making.
\nOur first aim is to bring the various logics of these disciplines together into one arena, confront them with everyday practices of emergency provision and develop from this new forms of emergency provision. To do so, our second aim is to intertwine the artistic and scientific epistemologies: the question of how to “enact” and create methods at the borders of science and art to re-create, re-calculate, mediate and change the methods for defining, calculating and comparing methods to assess emergency provision is a crucial part of the project.

\nThis is a tri-institutional research project that involves ţţԴ, the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and the professional organisation Michael Chekhov UK.
\nThe research team for this project includes:
\nDr Tom Cornford (Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London), Graham Dixon (MCUK), Dr Cass Fleming (ţţԴ), Sarah Kane (MCUK), Dr Caoimhe McAvinchey (Queen Mary, University of London), Dr Roanna Mitchell (University of Kent), Sinéad Rushe (Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London), Martin Sharp (MCUK) and Daron Oram (Royal Central School of Speech and Drama).
\nThis innovative project builds on current experiments and aims to bring together professional practitioners and scholars from various disciplines to investigate new uses of Chekhov’s techniques both within and beyond the theatre in the twenty first century. The project seeks to explore how Chekhov’s techniques can now be used in contexts other than actor training designed for the interpretation of existing dramatic literature.
\nThe New Pathways Research and Training Group based at ţţԴ was launched in 2013 to start to explore these areas and various practitioners have been involved since this time.
\nThe outcomes of this project will be discussed in the forthcoming publication Michael Chekhov Technique in the Twenty First Century: New Pathways, Methuen Drama (2017).
","areasOfSupervision":"Cass' particular interests in supervising are: actor and director training; play in actor training, direction, and theatre making; Michael Chekhov Technique both within and beyond the theatre; the work of Suzanne Bing, Jacques Copeau, and Jacques Lecoq; the work of Joan Littlewood and the Theatre Workshop; radical pedagogy, play and performance; alternative feminist and queer genealogies of performer training and theatre making; embodied and devised theatre practice and history; clown, mask and mime practice; European directorial practices of the twentieth and twenty first century; dance-theatre practice; and new developments in the field of applied performance.

The Purpose of Playing: modern acting theories in perspective (University of Michigan Press, 2006) is a critical study of methodologies of Western performance from the late-nineteenth century to the present day, which aims to provide the first comprehensive typology of the major categories of modern acting.
\nRobert has written essays and articles on modern British theatre (Pinter, Stoppard, Gray, Orton, and Rattigan), Wilde, Congreve, Strindberg and Pirandello, as well as critical monographs on Tom Stoppard and Harold Pinter. Robert’s research in the field of South African theatre began in 1985 with his play about South African women under apartheid, Red Earth, produced by Magna Carta and has continued to the present day with essays on Arthur Miller and post-colonial Shakespeare productions in South Africa and a current PaR project on Decolonising Shakespeare, which focuses on Shylock and Caliban in the context of anti-Semitism and slavery.
\nRobert’s research interest in Shakespeare and racism was evident in his role as Principal Investigator on the Pinter Centre’s three-year AHRC-funded research project, Beyond the Linear Narrative (2009-11), which aimed to map the post-colonial fracturing of narrative across literary and performative modes and genres. With Helen Carr, Blake Morrison and Osita Okagbue as co-investigators, the project presented four conferences as well as a three-year series of seminars in addition to a wide range of publications and theatre productions, including a European tour of his production of Pinter: In Other Rooms.
\nAs a founder member of the British Musical Theatre Research Institute, he has been involved in a number of initiatives to promote new scholarship in the under-researched area of British musicals and to make teaching materials and critical books available to the growing numbers of musical theatre students and teachers. To this end, Robert has co-written British Musical Theatre Since 1950 (2016) and is co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of the British Musical (2016).
","areasOfSupervision":"Robert has supervised a large number of PhD theses to completion and currently welcomes applications in the areas of musical theatre and performance praxis.

My most recent publication on this topic is Showing Off! A Philosophy of Image, Bloomsbury, 2014.
\nMore generally, I am curious about twentieth-century and contemporary visual culture in all of its diversity and am the editor of the Visual Cultures as… series published by Sternberg Press, the first three titles of which were released in 2013 and a fourth, Peter Mörtenböck and Helge Mooshammer's Visual Cultures as Opportunity, in 2016. Four new titles are forthcoming. I have also written two books working collaboratively with illustrators aimed at non-academic audiences: This is Cézanne (2015) with Patrick Vale and This is Rembrandt (2016) with Nick Higgins, both part of Laurence King Publishing’s This is… series.
\nMy forthcoming monograph is The Question of Painting: Rethinking Thought with Merleau-Ponty (Bloomsbury, 2018). It examines the paradigmatic role of painting within Merleau-Ponty philosophical attempts to contravene the authority of Cartesian dualism and objectivist thought—an authority that continues to limit present-day intellectual, imaginative, and ethical possibilities. In this book, I bring Merleau-Ponty's insights into conversation with contemporary debates about the ethical and political value of painting which is still, all too often today, regarded as an ineffectual medium from the perspective of social and political engagement.
\nOther works-in-progress include a collaborative research venture co-facilitated with the New York painter Leah Durner titled Immeasurable Extravagance: Proposals for an Economy of Abundance in an Age of Scarcity, which draws on research and scholarship within the fields of painting, phenomenology, theology and economic theory.
\nI also have a longstanding interest in seventeenth-century Dutch art.

Very quickly and with no previous experience or training, I found myself curating exhibitions of contemporary art. In 1991 I co-founded Rear Window, an independent arts trust that staged a series of exhibitions and conferences in temporary sites across London throughout the 90s. Each project presented, outside the conventions of the gallery space (in and around different frames, themes, media, and locations), new or collaborative work by young or established contemporary artists, writers, and poets.
\nOne such project, Care and Control (1995), was sited in a fully functioning psychiatric hospital in East London and involved 30 psychiatric patients and 18 contemporary artists. It is in the context of this project that I completed my first monograph, a social history of Hackney Workhouse, Swelling Grounds, 1995. I stopped curating exhibitions by the end of the millennium and started working in academia, completing a PhD in contemporary art theory in 2001. My interest in contemporary curatorial practices developed with the creation of the Curatorial Knowledge PhD Programme and the editing of a new book on this topic, The Curatorial: A Philosophy of Curating (Bloomsbury, 2013).
\nOver the years, I have developed an interest in contemporary philosophy. This interest led me to complete a second monograph, On Futurity / Malabou, Nancy & Derrida (Palgrave, 2007), which comprises a series of essays on the notion of futurity in contemporary continental philosophy and a short monograph on the relationship between masculinity and time: The End of Man (Punctum Books, 2013). I have also developed an interest in African philosophy, especially the work of Valentin Y. Mudimbe and contemporary Rwandan thinkers. This interest led me to write After \"Rwanda\" (Rodopi, 2013), which focuses on the ethical dimension of the Genocide Memorial Centre in Kigali, Rwanda. I am currently completing a new monograph on curating and ethics, entitled Sharing the World, which will comprise a series of reflections on the multiplication of platforms for curating and their ethical potential.

\nTwo books “Terra Infirma – Geography’s Visual Culture” (2001) and “Unbounded – Limits’ Possibilities” (2010) have dealt with such issues as has a major curatorial project “De-Regulation - with the work of Kutlug Ataman “ an exhibition project (Antwerp 2006, Herzilya 2007, Berlin 2010) accompanied by symposia, book and international summer school in ‘Relational Geographies’ Berlin 2010 and funded by the Bundeskuturstiftung.
\nIn addition I directed a major AHRC research Center on “Translating the Image – Cross Cultural Contemporary Arts” 2000-2005 with several research fellows (Isaac Julian, Janice Cheddie,) PH.D researchers, conferences and a book “TransCoding” (2010)
\nAnother aspect of my research is to do with ‘the participatory turn’ in contemporary art and in interventionist and educational practices. My forthcoming book Looking Away – Participating Singularities, Ontological Communities (2011) builds on work I published and curated in recent years and which asks the question on what does it mean to take part in culture beyond the roles that culture allots us for that kind of involvement. Curatorial project linked to this research thematic include “ Academy – Learning and Teaching “ (Vanabbemuseum NL 2006) and “Summit – Non Aligned Initiatives in Education Culture” (Berlin 2007)

Networked Cultures:
\n\n
Departing from sites of geopolitical conflicts and social confrontations, the Networked Cultures project aims to reconsider the cultural transformations under way in Europe through examining the potentials and effects of networked spatial practices. The project, in particular, investigates art, architectural and urban practices located in contested spaces whose work allows for a multi-inhabitation of territories and narratives across cultural, social or geographic boundaries. In doing so, the project seeks to extend current debates of architectural and spatial planning by addressing the emergence of new forms of urban engagement, by re-evaluating the relationship between space and conflict and by establishing trajectories of an architectural culture geared towards network formation. Outcomes of the research have been distributed via conferences, workshops, reports and publications. Audio-visual reports and other components of the project have been presented in numerous exhibitions worldwide. Venues include the Netherlands Architecture Institute, Rotterdam, Toronto Free Gallery, Toronto, Storefront for Art and Architecture, New York, Trafó Gallery, Budapest, The Israeli Center for Digital Art, Holon, Proekt Fabrika, Moscow, Pro qm, Berlin, santralistanbul, Istanbul, Open Space – Zentrum für Kunstprojekte, Vienna and Whitechapel Gallery, London.

Other Markets:
\n\n
Spurred by economic deregulations and the intertwined mobilisation of people and goods, informal systems have taken on a global dimension in structuring how we connect to each other, how we inhabit our environments, and how we engage in political and social operations. Nodal points of these transformations, informal markets entertaining long-distance relations have emerged on the fringes of major cities as well as on the borders between different states. Amidst the economisation of all aspects of life and the expansion of transnational spaces, these sites have evolved into prototypes of novel and extreme material configuration.
\n\n
The project focuses on the modalities of socio-spatial production in informal markets and their implications for new models of co-existence and exchange. While these globally distributed nodes of the informal economy are often effects of political upheaval, economic destabilisation, migratory movements and new labour situations, they shape complex systems of alternate relations wherever and whenever institutional protocols have come to a deadlock. The research approaches these dynamics through theoretical and empirical investigations into the visual culture of informal markets. It situates the architectures of informal markets as performative practices indicative of globally enacted juridico-political alignments and examines their workings by way of field studies and on-site transdisciplinary exchange in different world regions (Informal Market Worlds I, San Diego/Tijuana, February 2012 and Informal Market Worlds II, Shanghai, November 2012).

\n\n
World of Matter:
\n\n
World of Matter is an international art and media project investigating primary materials (fossil, mineral, agrarian, maritime) and the complex ecologies of which they are a part. Initiated by an interdisciplinary group of artists and scholars, the project responds to the urgent need for new forms of representation that shift resource-related debates from a market driven domain to open platforms for engaged public discourse. World of Matter considers visual source material a valuable instrument for education, activist work, research, and raising general public awareness, particularly in light of the ever more privatized nature of both actual resources and knowledge about the powers that control them. Hence, the project acts through exhibitions, public events, publications and an online platform. By drawing connections between works that derive from artistic practice, journalism, philosophy, activism, and other realms of research, World of Matter provides a place of commonality for eco-logical imaginaries.

\nIn this context, she is interested in contemporary international arts practices (see her co-authored book with Lynn Turner on Visual Cultures as Recollection and her articles on Arnold Dreyblatt, Vivienne Koorland, Ulrike Grossarth and Uriel Orlow) as well as in early 20th century German culture (see her work on Charlotte Salomon and Else Lasker-Schüler). Schmetterling’s writing is informed by the insights of diaspora, postcolonial and transcultural memory studies.
\nAstrid Schmetterling’s current project interweaves biography, history and memory theory. It traces the histories of two families, that of her own Jewish family and that of the Polish family that hid them during the Holocaust in an empty pigeon loft in the Eastern Galician town of Kopyczyńce (then Poland, now Ukraine).
\nDifferent temporalities – the act of hiding during the Holocaust, the postwar period, losing and finding one another after the fall of communism, the unusual bond between the families in the present – will be linked chronologically, but also associatively with the experience of travel in the Ukraine now.
\nThe historical, the imagined and the actual contemporary Galicia will thus productively disrupt each other. Beyond the act of rescue, Astrid Schmetterling is interested in the divergent experiences of the two families under the different occupiers of multiethnic Galicia.
\nThis will involve an engagement with incompatible experiences and memories of the Jewish, Polish and Ukranian populations informed by recent thinking on transcultural and multidirectional memory (Astrid Erll and Michael Rothberg). In addition, reflections on questions of memory and postmemory (Marianne Hirsch) and Astrid Schmetterling’s role as mediator of this history will critically interrogate the narrative and shape the form of the project.

","researchInterests":"This research introduces a new operative concept — the material witness — an entity (object or unit) whose physical properties or technical configuration records evidence of passing events to which it can bear witness. Whether these events register as a by-product of an unintentional encounter or as an expression of direct action, history and by extension politics is registered at these junctures of ontological intensity. Moreover, in disclosing these encoded events, the material witness makes ‘evident’ the very conditions and practices that convert such eventful materials into matters of evidence.
\nThrough the series of case studies I chart the appearance of a material witness that arises first out of the physical substances of filmic emulsion, magnetic particles, photo-chemistry, metal and dust and then later out of the immaterial realms of bandwidth and code. I track these entities in order to explore the ways in which matter archives and refracts the complex histories of violence in which it is implicated and, by extension, examine the condition of informed materiality that discloses its processing, renders visible the systems in which it is embedded, and activates its political potential.
\nThe crucial role that forensics plays in this research is not that of an investigative technical probe directed towards uncovering the ‘true’ reality-traces and absolute histories encoded by matter as might be the case with the practices of forensic science. Rather its role is that of highlighting what new understandings are required of matter and the processes whereby matter comes to matter discursively, in order for the material witness to overcome its purely legal designation or metaphoric expression and function as an operative concept in its own right: material as witness.
