Professor, Department of Psychology, Durham University
I am Professor of Social and Intercultural Psychology in the Department of Psychology at Durham University (UK), where I lead the Quantitative Social Psychology Research Group. I am also honorary senior research fellow at the University of Melbourne and at the Australian National University, and a former Associate Professor at the University of Newcastle (Australia).
My research and teaching specialise on the psychology of diversity and social cohesion; I investigate the determinants and consequences of prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination, as well as ways to mitigate these problems. I am the author of over 55 peer reviewed journal articles and book chapters and I have delivered 120+ conference papers and book contributions. I am best known for my research on intergroup friendship in sectarian Northern Ireland, my theoretical and empirical syntheses on stereotype formation and change, research on negative intergroup contact and contact valence asymmetries. My more recent contributions are on topics of intergroup contact seeking and avoidance and contact volition. My research is highly cited by peers and is discussed in policy briefs by peak organisations like the WorldBank, the United Nations, and UK’s Equality and Human Rights Commission. It has earned science and research awards by the (US-led) Academy of Management and the Australian Psychological Society.
My research has been funded by the European Community, the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council, the Australian Research Council, the Keats’ Endowment Fund and Daphne Keats Chair Endowment Fund. I have recently secured a large research grant from the Australian Research Council to investigate the ecologies and consequences for individuals, groups and communities of voluntary and involuntary intergroup contact. To this end, I will be leading an interdisciplinary research team of social psychologists and human geographers from three continents on a mixed-method research program.
Recently, I have chief edited a special issue on “Advances in Intergroup Contact research” and convened over a dozen of symposia at major international conferences. I have served as Section Editor and I am now on the editorial board of Social Psychology and Personality Compass and Associate Editor for Frontiers in Psychology. I am currently member of the Australian Research Council’s Medical Research Advisory Group. I was recently awarded the Distinguished Service award by the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues.
I am passionate about Equity and Diversity Issues (EDI) in academia, science, and broader society. I received several service and community awards for my EDI work and I am regularly consulted by the media for my contribution to intergroup dialogue, social cohesion and minorities’ empowerment.
I have an extensive track record in research supervision and mentoring of young academics. I am currently seeking capable research students interested in my areas of research expertise and in joining my research laboratory.

Professor of Regenerative Neuroimmunology, University of Cambridge
My team studies whether the accumulation of neurological disability observed in patients with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (PMS) can be slowed down using stem cell therapies. In particular, our aim is to understand the basic mechanisms that allow exogenously delivered neural stem cells (NSCs) to create an environment that preserves damaged axons or prevents neurons from dying. Using stem cells as a model to identify the critical factors that prevent neurodegeneration is an exciting new frontier of regenerative medicine, which is just being tested in humans.
I have been first or senior author in seminal papers that have established the potential of somatic NSC-based experimental therapies for PMS. My early studies identified a critical role around the route of cell injection4 and the mechanisms of NSC accumulation in the chronically inflamed CNS, as well as revealing an unexpected ability of NSC therapies to provide neurotrophic support and inhibit detrimental host immune responses in vivo.
My team has also focused on defining the nature and function of intercellular signalling mediated by extracellular membrane vesicles (EVs) from NSCs. Using a series of computational analyses and high-resolution imaging techniques, we have demonstrated that EVs deliver functional IFN-g/Ifngr1 complexes to target cells.
We have also discovered that EVs harbour L-asparaginase activity catalysed by the enzyme Asparaginase-like protein 1. While the translation of EV therapies into clinical regenerative therapies is still some way from being fully achievable, both these studies on NSC EVs serve as complementary models of how stem cell grafts might signal to the host to mediate repair through a range of complementary actions.
Our most recent work describes a delayed accumulation of the pro-inflammatory tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediate succinate in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model of chronic MS. We have identified a new complementary mechanism by which directly induced NSCs (iNSCs) respond to endogenous inflammatory metabolic signals to inhibit the activation of type-1 mononuclear phagocytes (MPs) in vivo after transplantation. Transplanted iNSCs respond to the succinate released by type-1 inflammatory macrophages and microglia in the CSF, which then signals to iNSCs via succinate receptor 1 (SUCNR1) and initiates the secretion of prostaglandin E2 and the scavenging of extracellular succinate.
Our research has therefore recalibrated the classical view that neural grafts only function through structural cell replacement and opened up a new therapeutic avenue by which to use exogenously delivered NSCs.
By understanding the mechanisms of intercellular (stem cell) signalling, diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) may be treated more effectively, and significant neuroprotection may be achieved with new tailored NSC therapeutics.

Assistant Professor of Corporate Communication and Public Affairs, Southern Methodist University
Stephanie A. (Sam) Martin brings nearly 20 years of experience in corporate, media and political (campaign) work to bear in her research, which investigates the discourse of conservative social movements in the contemporary United States. She is especially interested in how political rhetorics about fiscal issues intersect with political rhetorics about social issues, and so work to reinforce one another. She is currently writing a book that explores how evangelicals have used news and other forms of mass media to promote government policies of fiscal conservatism and personal responsibility for ameliorating economic hardship in the aftermath of the national recession of 2008, and have agitated against increased spending on public welfare programs. The book also examines how the public discourse (and political priorities) of evangelicals is not only about abortion and other such cultural hot-button issues, but includes a preference for conservative economic policymaking, as well.
Martin has written journal articles and book chapters about conservative social and economic discourse in the United States. She is also interested in First Amendment jurisprudence.
Martin worked for her first political campaign in the summer between her senior year of high school and first year of college, when she volunteered at a phone bank for a candidate to the United States Senate from her home state of Idaho. Since that time she has remained an active participant in and observer of the United States political process and has worked on both national and statewide campaigns. As a media practitioner, Martin served as a project coordinator and staff writer for a PBS affiliate in Washington, D.C., and has also written extensively for several business-to-business publications sponsored by General Motors. She began her career as a project manager and industrial engineer, first for the Boeing Company and then for Hewlett-Packard.
As a teacher, Martin is deeply committed to helping students discover their own voices, as well as find ways to make their classroom experiences apply to their everyday, practical (and professional) lives. She encourages her students to apply their education to questions of social justice wherever they can, and to believe in the always-revolutionary notion that one person can make a real difference in the world.
