Peter Whitewood
Associate Professor of History, York St John University
I am an Associate Professor in History and Associate Head of the History, American Studies and War Studies programmes. I gained my PhD in History from the University of Leeds in 2013 and came to York St John University soon after. My research interests are broadly in the political and International histories of the early Soviet state and Stalin era.
My first book, The Red Army and the Great Terror: Stalin's Purge of the Soviet Military, provided a new explanation for Stalin's purge of the Red Army in 1937-1938. Taking a broader view of Soviet civil-military relations from 1917, I argued that this purge was launched from a position of panic and weakness, rather than being simply an expression of Stalin's desire to consolidate power. The book argues that without the military purge, there would have been no escalation of the Great Terror in 1937.
My second book, The Soviet-Polish War and its Legacy: Lenin's Defeat and the Rise of Stalinism explored how the Soviet-Polish War of 1919-20 shaped the early Soviet state in the 1920s. The Bolsheviks' stunning loss of this war in August 1920 encouraged authoritarian responses during a critical transitional decade. In short, rather than moderate the regime as often assumed, the loss of the war did the opposite. The aftershocks of war contributed to the emergence of a repressive totalitarian system and ultimately the transformation of the Revolution.
My current project looks at how the Bolshevik Party interpreted and aligned with established international humanitarian law after the 1917 revolution. Rather than entirely eschew established conventions, the Bolsheviks put both the Geneva and Hague conventions into practice, to differing degrees. Focusing chiefly on the Soviet Red Cross, the project will produce a new history of Soviet humanitarianism in the 1920s.
Postgraduate supervision:
I welcome contact from potential postgraduate students, especially in the following areas:
Soviet political and international history
The Stalin era
Totalitarianism
Modern European International history

Peter Winter
Senior Research Associate, School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies (SPAIS), University of Bristol
I am a sociologist in the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS) specialising in the analysis of complex sociotechnical systems, particularly sociotechnical systems involving Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. I am particularly interested in the challenges of developing, integrating, and implementing AI technologies for use in real-world contexts (e.g. the role of regulation, trust and transparency) as well as their effects on professional practice and organisational structure.
I am currently working on the RAI UK-funded 'Transparency Regulation Toolkits for Responsible AI' project, researching how Small to Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) in the UK and EU interpret and implement AI transparency rules in practice.
I have also undertaken research on the regulation of autonomous systems with evolving functionality, the implementation of digital twins in cardiovascular medicine, the development of medical AI for the early diagnosis of a rare disease, the improvement of public inclusivity in robotics design, the training of visual expertise in medical and radiography education, the disclosure of mental health in professional sport, and the provision of mental health support for medical students. Prior to academia, I provided research support to two independent charities (The Mentor Ring and The Older People's Commissioner for Wales) in the voluntary sector and worked as an investment associate for Legal and General PLC (Cardiff, UK).

Peter S. Park
Postdoctoral Associate at the Tegmark Lab, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Dr. Park applies mathematics, the social sciences, and the cognitive sciences to research human-AI dynamics. To illustrate, OpenAI's mission is to create "highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work." If and when we humans cede our decision-making to these highly autonomous AIs, will we come to regret this potentially irreversible choice? Dr. Park investigates this question by using a variety of tools, such as empirical studies of current AI systems, relevant data from the evolutionary or historical past, and mathematical models of what a hypothetical AI-led future may look like.

Working closely with businesses, CoDE adopts a multi-disciplinary approach to analyzing the broad economic, organizational, and sociological changes brought about by the advance and spread of digital technology. His research interests include the effect of developments in the digital economy on industries, such as financial services, where existing business models may no longer be appropriate, and where new forms of currency and organization, such as crypto- and personal currencies, have the potential to emerge leading to profound effects on the economy and wider society.
He is an Investigator on a recently awarded UK Research Council grant titled “CREDIT”, which is examining the nature and practices of these crypto currencies, and will be defining the future research agenda. The main themes of the research are to explore the effect of these “currencies” on the digital transformation of business models, and to clarify issues around governance, standards and regulation. He took part in ministerial roundtable discussions at the UK Treasury after the UK Chancellor’s 2015 Budget announcement of an expanded research programme into Digital and Crypto Currencies.
He was a member of the expert panel comprising practitioners and academics which advised Sir Mark Walport, the UK Government Chief Scientific Officer, during his preparation of his report “Distributed Ledger Technology: beyond blockchain” published in January 2016.

He holds an M.A. in Economics from Cambridge University, and a PhD in Management from Exeter University. He received his PhD in 2013 with a study on “wicked problems”, (those without a rational solution), and how they impacted the operations of a government agency.
