Mårten Hammarlund

PhD candidate of Psychology, Stockholm University
I am a licensed clinical psychologist, licensed child psychotherapist (Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare), and PhD candidate within a project that is lead by prof. Pehr Granqvist and postdoc Tommie Forslund. My research mainly regards contextual risk factors among mothers with intellectual disability or ADHD, in relation to various parenting capacities (e.g., parental mentalizing, interpretation of children's emotional signals), and child socioemotional development (attachment). I also teach attachment theory, mentalization theory, and developmental psychopathology on various courses on the clinical psychology/psychotherapy programs, as well as on the master program in psychology.

Beyond the field of attachment research, I also have a strong interest in developmental psychology more generally. My main interests concern the developmental roots of intersubjectivity and social learning, as well as developmentally informed clinical interventions for children and their families. I am a member of an international group of researchers and clinicians who work with Parental Embodied Mentalizing (a method for assessing automatic mentalizing in parents of infants), as well as of the International Relations Committe of APA Division 39 Society for Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. I am also engaged in questions relating to child welfare, and applications of developmental theory in a wider societal context.

Martha Newson1

Associate Professor in Psychology, University of Greenwich
Martha Newson joined Greenwich in 2023 as Associate Professor in Psychology. Though working with modern human populations, Martha’s research is strongly informed by evolutionary theory. Her highly inter-disciplinary research draws from anthropology, psychology, evolutionary theory and criminology, so she has connections across academic disciplines.

Her research and consultancy practice is guided by the themes of social cohesion, ritual, and belonging. Her primary focus is on the rituals underlying social cohesion and the ensuing cooperation and conflict emerging from tightly bonded groups.

Dr Newson has worked with a range of challenging populations, from fundamentalist Indonesian Muslims to London’s ravers. She has particular experience working with football fans, including surveys and interviews with hardcore Brazilian, Indonesian and Australian fans (ultras) and collecting hormonal samples from fans at live World Cup events.

She gained a BSc in Human Sciences from the University of Sussex then taught English in Vietnam and Spain, before completing her postgraduate studies at the University of Oxford in Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology. She remains a Research Affiliate at the University of Oxford (Centre for the Study of Social Cohesion).

Dr Newson provides consultancy and commentary on issues related to group psychology, belonging, conflict, and cooperation. This concerns human behaviour and evolutionary psychology in general terms, and with regard to football fandom specifically. Previous consultancy clients include Guinness, the Premier League, Manchester City and Hyundai among others.

Martha has contributed to Discovery’s Why We Hate, produced by Steven Spielberg, as well as numerous BBC and Sky TV features in the UK, such as BBC News and Sky News, alongside a number of radio shows including Radio 4’s World at One and PM programmes. Her research has also featured in The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Independent, International Business Times, The Daily Mail, The Sun, Haaratz, Der Spiegel and many others.

Martin Conway

My research and publications have been driven by a number of overlapping interests in European history from roughly the 1930s to the 1960s.

One central element of that interest has been the history of Belgium, which has been much overlooked in the historiography of the twentieth century, but which provides a fascinating example of the interplay of factors of class, of ideology and of linguistic identity. I have published two books on Belgium, most recently (in 2012) The Sorrows of Belgium, and am continuing with research on its post-1945 history, most notably the so-called question royale and the history of the working class.

My other interests are broader and more comparative. I have been the editor of a number of collaborative volumes, including ones on political exiles during the Second World War, on Catholic politics, on political legitimacy in mid-twentieth century Europe, on democracy, on Europeanisation, and on violence.

All of these, though diverse in subject manner, have been primarily concerned with the interface between the social and the political. In particular, I have been concerned to explore what made (and un-made) political stability in Europe across the upheavals of the 1930s and 1940s and into the post-war period, and I am currentlky writing a book about how democracy was understood and practised in Western Europe from the Second World War to the end of the 1960s. I am also involved in a number of collaborative research projects, involving historians across Europe, and am the editor of The English Historical Review.

I teach widely on the history of this period, and have supervised a number of doctorates: on religion in France, on inter-war socialism, on aspects of Belgian history, on Catholic politics and intellectual trends. I should be happy to hear from prospective graduate students interested in working in fields relevant to my interests.

Martin Hewison

Professor of Molecular Endocrinology, University of Birmingham
Professor Hewison’s work focuses on different facets of vitamin D physiology, including classical skeletal effects and non-classical extra-skeletal effects. He has a particular interest in the interaction between vitamin D and the immune system, where antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages synthesize active vitamin D (calcitriol) and also express the nuclear receptor for calcitriol (VDR). Vitamin D can therefore act as an endogenous regulator of both innate and adaptive immunity by enhancing antibacterial activity, and modulating antigen presentation and T lymphocyte function. Crucially these responses are highly dependent on the bioavailability of vitamin D, and Professor Hewison has hypothesized that immune function is influenced by vitamin D status in humans. His group is using a variety of models to test this hypothesis including basic molecular and cell analyses, and vitamin D supplementation trials in human cohorts. A key objective of his work is to increase awareness of vitamin D-deficiency in the UK population.

Martin Polkinghorne

Associate Professor in Archaeology, Flinders University
Martin Polkinghorne is an Associate Professor in Archaeology at Flinders University.

Martin completed his PhD at The University of Sydney focussing on the people and technology that made the temples of Angkor. Between 2011 and 2014 he led an Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery project on pre-modern craft economies in Cambodia. This initiative discovered the first historic bronze foundry known in Southeast Asia and continues to excavate at Angkor.

Martin is Lead Chief Investigator of an international consortium on the ARC Linkage Project: 'Reuniting orphaned cargoes: Underwater Cultural Heritage of the Maritime Silk Route'. This project aims to discover the cultural value of the largest Southeast Asian ceramic collections in Indonesia and Australia with archaeological science and to preserve the underwater cultural heritage of our region for future generations.

As a Chief Investigator on the ARC funded Greater Angkor Project's 'Urbanism after Angkor (14th - 18th century CE): re-defining Collapse', Martin seeks to change perceptions of Cambodian history after the demise of Angkor, from depictions of defeat and loss towards recognition of adaptation and renewal. In a complementary research program, Martin led the ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) project 'New Light on Cambodia’s Dark Age: The capitals of Cambodia after Angkor (1350 – 1750)'. These projects have conducted the first archaeological investigations of Cambodia's Early Modern Period capitals on the banks of the Mekong and Tonle Sap arterial rivers. Research of Cambodia during a time of quickening international trade retrieves this period from a perceived Dark Age, and reveals critical linkages between the celebrated Angkorian past and the present-day.

Martin is an Honorary Research Fellow of the Asian Studies Program, The University of Sydney.
