Research Associate Professor in Planetary Astronomy, Meteorology, University of Reading
I'm a planetary scientist specialising in ground-based astronomy of giant planet upper atmospheres, in particular Jupiter, Saturn and exoplanets. My research involves learning to understand how planets interact with their environments. The upper atmospheres are affected greatly by powerful auroras at the magnetic poles (much like the "northern lights" on Earth), or from storms like Jupiter's Great Red Spot and even by Saturn's rings which "rain" icy dust onto the planet.
In my spare time I make videos which explain the scales, motions and mechanisms of the solar system and beyond (available here), which have over 200 million views across all platforms, hundreds of news articles and are used in schools, universities, planetariums and museums worldwide. For this outreach work I was awarded the 2021 Europlanet Society Prize for Public Engagement.

James Renton
I am interested in racism, especially antisemitism and Islamophobia; Empire; and the genealogy of global politics. My research focuses on European ideas of the Jew, the Arab, and the West; post-secularism; British and French colonialism in the Jewish and Middle Eastern worlds; the First World War and its afterlives; the Zionist-Palestinian conflict; the League of Nations Mandate system; the West and the Middle East relationship; and the political public sphere in the colonial world after 1914.
My first book, The Zionist Masquerade: The Birth of the Anglo-Zionist Alliance, 1914-1918 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2007), was a new history of the Balfour Declaration. Placing the Declaration within the wider story of the global politics of race and nationalism in the Great War, the book put forward a new interpretation of its origins, purpose and significance.
I am currently writing a biography of the idea of the Middle East, for which I was awarded an Early Career Fellowship by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. With Ben Gidley (COMPAS, Oxford), I am also co-editing a book on antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe, from the Crusades to the 21st century.
Outside of the academic world, I have written for Ha’aretz, openDemocracy, The Conversation, The Jewish Quarterly and Teaching History, and regularly give public talks. On television, I have featured in programmes including ‘Al-Nakba: The Debate’, which focused on the British role in the history of the Zionist-Palestinian conflict, ‘World War I through Arab Eyes- Episode 3: The New Middle East‘, and ‘The Grand Mufti’, a documentary about the Palestinian leader Muhammed Amin al-Husayni.
