Richard Ballard
Chief Researcher: Gauteng City-Region Observatory, Wits University and University of Johannesburg, University of the Witwatersrand
Richard Ballard trained in the field of geography at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and the University of Wales, Swansea.
One of his research themes is on the relationship between the ideals of spatial transformation and real world processes that produce urban space. Under this theme he has published on attempts by developers to secure permission to build major projects; the policy turn to mega projects within the public housing sector; the role of construction labour in producing walled suburbs and the production of space in Gauteng Province.
A second area of interest is the way in which residents of South Africa's cities form identities in relation to the places where they live and the people who share these spaces. Publications on this theme are on white responses to urban desegregation, gated communities, the place of plants and animals in cities, social cohesion and changing scales of identification.
A third area of interest is urban governance and politics, with publications on local government elections, participatory governance processes, social movements and everyday resistance.

Senior Lecturer in Biology, Newcastle University
My research interests are broad and cover the basic physiological processes of an animal up to those occurring at the animal-environment interaction. Underpinning my work is the use of remote monitoring technology such as heart rate monitoring, electronic data archival devices and satellite telemetry. Specific areas of study include: the physiology, ecology and behaviour of aquatic animals; energy expenditure of free-ranging animals; foraging behaviour of seabirds; use of stable isotopes to study animal ecology; spatial movements of animals; animal conservation.

Richard Birtles
Professor, School of Science, Engineering & Environment, University of Salford
My work explores the strategies adopted by infectious agents, at the individual and population level, to persist in nature, in particular those microorganisms that are arthropod transmitted. These efforts have centred on organisms of public health and veterinary importance, including the tick-transmitted Borrelia and Anaplasma species, and flea and louse-transmitted members of the bacterial genus Bartonella. Recent/ongoing projects include examination of the adaptation of A. phagocytophilum and B. burgdorferi strains to specific transmission pathways within natural multi-host, multi-vector system, quantification of genome-wide diversity within Bartonella species, and exploration of the molecular basis of arthropod exploitation by Bartonella species. I also have a slow-burning interest in the role of amoeba and other free-living protists as environmental hosts for pathogens. I also like to trawl the blood-steam of animals from near and distant corners of the planet in search of new haemoparasitic bacteria and protozoa; please get in touch if you can help out!
I have been lucky enough to be part of a long-standing collaborative team, including scientists at the Universities of Aberdeen, Liverpool and Nottingham, interested in infectious disease ecology and using a model system of wild field vole (Microtus agrestis) populations to explore the influence of parasites on host population dynamics and host susceptibility to co-infectors, and the strategies adopted by hosts to counter parasitism

Richard Goulding
Research Associate in Urban Political Economy, University of Sheffield
Richard’s research focuses largely on urban political economy, focusing on financialisation in social housing and the private rented sector and their relation to wider processes of urbanisation.
His PhD thesis examined the drivers of financialisation within English housing associations, including the role of austerity programmes implemented following the 2007-2009 financial crisis. This work also explored the governance of risk within the social housing sector, and how legal and regulatory frameworks have been reconstructed to accommodate the interests of a wider set of financial actors.
His current work is as a research associate on the ESRC-funded Centripetal Cities project led by the Management School’s Professor Adam Leaver alongside the Urban Institute’s Dr Jon Silver, whose aim is to re-appraise the success of property-led regeneration urban growth models through a study of the Build to Rent sector in Greater Manchester.

Richard Handler
Professor of Anthropology, University of Virginia
I am a cultural anthropologist who studies modern western societies. My initial fieldwork was in Quebec (1976-1984) where I studied the Québécois nationalist movement. This has led to an enduring interest in nationalism, ethnicity, and the politics of culture. Upon coming to Virginia in 1986, I pursued the latter topic by looking at history museums. Beginning in 1990, I worked with Eric Gable (Ph.D. Virginia 1990) and Anna Lawson (Ph.D. Virginia 1995) on an ethnographic study of Colonial Williamsburg, which is both an outdoor museum and a mid-sized nonprofit corporation. In addition to examining the invention of history and tradition, our study focuses on corporate culture, class, race and gender.
A different interest is the intersection of anthropology and literature. I have written on Jane Austen's novels, on the literary bent of such noted anthropologists as Ruth Benedict and Edward Sapir, and on the difficulties of writing the ethnography of nationalist movements. Finally, I have had an ongoing interest in the history of American anthropology - in particular, in anthropologists as critics of modernity, and the relationship of our discipline's critical discourse to other intellectual trends. I am currently writing a series of essays on the great mid-century sociologist and social critic, Erving Goffman.
I am currently directing an interdisciplinary undergraduate program in Global Development Studies, for which I teach several courses. I am also teaching graduate anthropology courses in the history of theory and in nationalism.
