Associate Professor, Anthropology, University of Toronto
David’s research directly addresses the central anthropological question of human uniqueness. In other words, the question that drives his work is what is it about our species that has made us the most successful animal on the planet? In the quest to understand what makes humans special, he’s comparatively worked with human and non-human primates (and wolves and dogs) around the globe to better understand the behavioral, physiological, and cognitive suite of traits that likely played a crucial role in our success. Specifically, his research investigates the link between sleep and human evolution through revolutionary new approaches, recording sleep data sets and sleep architecture for a range of primates including lemurs, zoo orangutans, wild chimpanzees, and humans living in different types and scales of societies. His research has probed sleep’s role in cognition, sociality, and group dynamics throughout human evolution.

My creative practice output includes many published albums, songs and high-profile performances, my broadcasting has concentrated on Scottish music culture with six full series of radio documentaries on Scottish albums broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland and BBC 6 Music; some of this work has been adapted and developed for academic presentations within conferences and in postgraduate teaching. I have also adapted creative practice in this way by using my community music practice as the basis for some recent practice-based-research around mining and traditional song narrative (Pits, Ponies, People & Stories). In summary my research expertise resides primarily in the following areas:
Songwriting
Popular Music History
Scottish Music Culture
Community and Participatory Arts
Current research activities
My recent activities have centred around practice-based research undertaken as part of South Lanarkshire Council's Pits, Ponies, People & Stories heritage-based project. My sound piece Where Is God, which considers contemporary narratives around the Syrian refugee crisis through the lens of the famous traditional song The Blantyre Explosion, was presented at CCA Glasgow and Tokyo Metropolitan University as part of the Azimuth project in 2016.
I developed one of my BBC Classic Scottish Albums programmes - Glasvegas - for a paper at the 2015 Singing Storytellers Symposium at Cape Breton University titled Stabbed! Towards a Musical Tartan Noir and I continue to develope research ideas around the list of programmes made.
More recently I have completed a book chapter in collaboration with Dr Jo Collinson-Scott for Bloomsbury Academic and their Guide To The Singer Songwriter on sustaining careers in the digital age. The book will be published later in 2017.

Professor of history, University of Reading
“The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point, however, is to change it.” Thesis Eleven of Karl Marx’s Theses on Feuerbach (1845) is both a call to action and a demand that we situate philosophical thinking about the world within history. This sums up my interests as an intellectual historian.
My research and teaching explore the ideas, concepts, and ways of thinking about the world that dominated nineteenth and early twentieth century thought, and situates these ideas, concepts, and ways of thinking within their historical context.
My work ranges across both the history of the left, especially early nineteenth century radicalism, Chartism, and the life and writings of John Stuart Mill, and the history of science, especially phrenology, Darwinism, and eugenics. In each of these areas I seek to understand how ideas and concepts developed within the context of their own time - radicalism in dialogue with contemporary conservatism, Darwinism in interaction with capitalism and imperialism - in order to understand them historically.
This is a relevant and urgent activity because ideas and concepts formed in very different historical circumstances continue to frame our thinking today. History is the present interrogating the past in order to shape the future. The first step is to understand the past.

Professor Stebenne’s dissertation on the life and work of former labor lawyer and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Arthur J. Goldberg was published by Oxford University Press in 1996 under the title Arthur J. Goldberg: New Deal Liberal. While doing research on that project, Professor Stebenne worked with Goldberg directly during the last nine years of his life.
His second book was a study of the life and work of Arthur Larson, the legal academic who wrote the leading treatise on workers’ compensation law and also held three high-ranking posts in the administration of Dwight D. Eisenhower. Indiana University Press published this book under the title Modern Republican: Arthur Larson and the Eisenhower Years in 2006.
Professor Stebenne’s third book (co-authored with Joseph Mitchell) was a history of Columbia, Md., the planned suburban “new town” created by Baltimore lawyer and real estate developer James Rouse.

He is interested in the history of American elections and in contemporary national politics. He serves the Election Law @ Moritz team as its “elections historian.” He comments regularly on national politics for both local and national media.
Professor Stebenne co-chaired (along with law professor Edward B. Foley and former political science professor Paul Beck) the Democracy Studies Speakers Series during 2012 and 2013.
