Alida Payson
Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies , Cardiff University
I am a lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies in JOMEC. My research interests are in everyday life, second-hand economies, and material culture. More widely, I am interested in the cultural politics of migration, gender, race, and disability, and in visual, creative and participatory research methods.
I have been working to build a network of second-hand studies researchers and practitioners. You can find more about our projects and activities on the Secondhand Cultures blog, available here: https://blogs.cardiff.ac.uk/secondhandcultures/
I recently finished a three-year project, Charity shop country: conviviality and survival in austerity Britain, funded by the Leverhulme Trust early career fellowship, and exploring how charity shops matter as sites of everyday living together and getting by in an austerity economy. Here is a recent blog post about the research - Thrift labours - Charity shops in the austerity economy
My thesis in cultural studies, also at JOMEC, entitled Feeling Together: Emotion, heritage, conviviality and politics in a changing city, follows three intergenerational groups of women and girls as they took part in arts and heritage projects to explore overlooked local women’s history in Butetown through writing, film, photography, and fashion. The thesis is framed by a critical history of Cardiff, as well as a critical interrogation of whiteness in UK heritage industries and theoretical debates on the politics of emotion. I argue for these intergenerational heritage projects as emotional performances full of important lessons on how to cope with inherited injustice and how to live together with others in the present.
I have published on the cultural politics of translation in film, emotion in migrant protest media, and the history of refugees in Wales. As part of formative interdisciplinary collaborations as a research assistant, I have also published on narratives of poverty in the media in Wales and Black and minority ethnic women’s experiences of infertility, as well as drawing as a participatory research method. Before moving to the UK and undertaking her PhD in cultural studies, I worked in the nonprofit sector in the United States on housing and food justice issues. Her academic background is in literature and the arts.

Alisa Minina Jeunemaître
Associate Professor of Marketing, EM Lyon Business School
In my research I adopt the sociocultural perspective as a framework for understanding consumption experiences, with the particular focus on globalization, consumer mobility, acculturation and consumption in digital service settings. I seek to go beyond consumer subjectivity in investigating the broader market and sociocultural dynamics that intertwine with consumer experiences, using in-depth interviews, ethnographic methods, discourse analysis and digital research in order to uncover how lived experiences of consumers are being shaped by broader macroenvironmental forces, and how consumer lifestyles emerge as a response to the challenges of their daily lives.

Alisha Gaines
Associate Professor of English, Florida State University
Alisha Gaines is the Timothy Gannon Associate Professor of English and affiliate faculty of African American Studies at Florida State University. She holds a 2009 PhD in English and a certificate in African and African American Studies from Duke University. From 2009-2011 she held a Carter G. Woodson postdoctoral fellowship in African American and African Studies at the University of Virginia. As a Co-Founder and Co-Humanities Director of the Evergreen Plantation Archaeological Field School, in 2024, Alisha won a Community Engaged Research Partnership Grant for her work on plantation tourism in Louisiana's River Parishes.
Alisha's first manuscript, "Black for a Day: White Fantasies of Race and Empathy," was published with UNC Press (Spring 2017). The project rethinks the political consequences of empathy by examining mid-to-late twentieth and twenty-first century narratives of racial impersonation enabled by the spurious alibi of racial reconciliation. "Black for a Day" constructs a genealogy of mostly White liberals who temporarily "become" Black under the alibi of racial empathy.
An award-winning educator, her interdisciplinary teaching interests include African American literature, Black Study, narratives of passing, Black Southern Studies, media and performance studies, and Black queer theory.
A student of Black Souths, Alisha is currently writing her second manuscript, "Children of the Plantationocene," on Black American origin stories, what we collectively inherit from the plantation, and slavery reenactments.

Alison Habens
Head of Creative Writing, University of Portsmouth
I’m the Course Leader for many of the undergraduate creative writing courses at the University: BA (Hons) Creative Writing; BA (Hons) English and Creative Writing; and BA (Hons) Film Studies and Creative Writing. I also teach on MA Creative Writing, and am the Academic Lead (Communication) alongside Journalism lecturer Ian Tapster.
My PhD explored where writers get their ideas from, researching the complete history of writers back to the routes of Greek mythology and the nine muses.
I believe that poetry and prose can have a powerful impact on civic wellbeing. Through my recent research, I’ve looked at how people who suffer dementia can remember lyrics, giving the writer an opportunity to use beats and rhythm creating ways to connect.
The rhythm of poems can stick in one’s mind and this creative form can also be used to translate vital messages to improve public health. From outreach work with schools and colleges, I’ve learnt that the same imaginative tasks I give undergraduates in class can also bring mental focus and calming structure to younger children. Communities can learn via negative memories, through the process of telling stories and ‘narrative therapy’, allowing a person to reflect on their experience and revealing how they survived.
I lead the Portsmouth Writers Hub, a new community interest company (CIC) that brings many University writers and writing groups together such as:
Vincent Adams
William Sutton
Tom Sykes (Star & Crescent)
Amanda Garrie (T’Articulation)
Tongues and Grooves
Havant Writers Circle
Lovedean Writers
Work from the Hub aligns with the University’s democratic citizenship research theme, with members working on homeless, bereavement, addiction and environmental projects. We also have links with Bookfest and Darkfest plus local theatres and libraries too. My students are always invited to participate in community events, and have already contributed articles for Star & Crescent, Portsmouth’s independent news website.
With my passion for literature and connecting with others in a public-facing role, I’ve collaborated with local writers, colleagues, alumni, and environmental activists – Friends of the Earth, Plastic-Free Portsmouth and Extinction Rebellion – for Pens of the Earth, a project that aims to change people’s behaviour towards the environment. An example is the Streets for People initiative, rethinking the way our streets are used. With the support of partners, a street in Portsmouth closed for a day, allowing neighbours to connect in new ways and for children to play safely whilst air quality improves.

Alistair Auffret
Senior Lecturer in Landscape Ecology, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
I mostly teach landscape ecology and field botany for undergraduate students. At the post-graduate level, I develop and lead courses in using the R environment to handle data and perform GIS analyses.
I'm interested in the role of humans in determining changes in biodiversity and distributions over time. In particular, I want to know changes in landscape and climate during the past century have shaped patterns of biodiversity today. Using historical and present-day maps and species inventories, I look at the changes in biodiversity that have already happened in response to environmental change, with the hope that that knowledge can be used to conserve biodiversity now and in the future.
I am also very interested in the dispersal of plant species in time and space, and how this is driven directly and indirectly by humans through management and landscape structure. Seeds can move in any number of ways related to human activity, while dormancy in the seed bank can act to buffer biodiversity during times of unsuitable conditions. I think that understanding how species move in time and space will help us to understand their responses to environmental pressures and conservation actions.

Alistair Farley
Science Lead, University of Oxford
From a young age, I have been curious about the physical and natural world that surrounds us. This broad interest across physics and biology led me to study chemistry, as the central science, at Wadham College at the University of Oxford where I stayed for my MChem and PhD degrees.
During my PhD, I developed a new family of catalysts – substances that speed up a reaction – and investigated their application in a range of industrially relevant processes. These catalysts do not contain metals, are cheap, generate less waste, and work under milder conditions than metal catalysts, and therefore offer a more sustainable approach to chemical processes.
After this, I became interested in applying chemistry and chemical principles to address biological questions and in particular to the issue of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). My interdisciplinary team and I, as part of the Ineos Oxford Institute, try to understand the mechanisms of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. We then develop new molecules and combinations of molecules that are active against the bacteria. Tackling AMR is a challenge and requires interdisciplinary research involving policy makers, health economists, chemists, microbiologists, biochemists and others to advance. Good science with direct societal benefit and the diversity of people make this a great area to work in.
I am a strong advocate for the use of science to better inform policy and policymakers. I have had the opportunity to present my research at the Houses of Parliament and to shadow parliamentarians and policymakers as part of the Royal Society Pairing Scheme. Advances in science and innovation are fundamental in improving the general wellbeing of society.
