Heidi McLeod
PhD Candidate in Human Geography, Lincoln University, New Zealand
I am a PhD candidate in Human Geography at Lincoln University, where I am researching Aotearoa New Zealand’s food system. I’ve channelled my personal foodie interests into understanding food regimes, commodity chains, systems and practices that bind up the way the world grows, exchanges, and consumes food. My study and current research focuses on food systems and practices in Aotearoa New Zealand, the potential of alternative practices, the extension of diverse community economy models, and the social benefits that accrue alongside environmental benefits. As a dominant player in the global agriculture market, we have substantial stakes in our own success.

Helen Jones
Research Fellow, University of South Wales
I joined the University of South Wales (USW) in January 2015 and worked alongside Professor Fiona Brookman on the Homicide Investigation and Forensic Science Project (funded by The Leverhulme Trust). The project examined the role of forensic science and digital technologies within British homicide investigations. Through this project, I have gained substantial experience of interviewing homicide detectives, forensic scientists, and digital experts, and observed several live homicide investigations, from crime scene through to court. Findings from the project have been disseminated widely, for example, they have helped to inform the Home Office Impact of Forensic Science project. We are continuing to analyse the data and engage with key stakeholders from the Home Office, Forensic Capability Network and National Police Chiefs’ Council.
I am also working alongside Dr Cheryl Allsop at USW. In May 2022, we were awarded £121,802 from the Home Office STAR fund to work on cases of missing people considered murdered. The project, 'Missing-Murdered: Identifying Vulnerabilities and Risk Factors’ will run until the end of March 2023 and seeks to understand commonalities and characteristics to assist in developing toolkits for frontline police officers to mitigate against the challenges and risks associated with recognising and responding to homicide in missing persons investigations. Assessing accurately who will come to harm is difficult yet, when dealing with cases of missing persons considered murdered, the initial response to the missing person report is the most important factor for solving the homicide and any delays in recognising and responding to a potential homicide will reduce the chances of solving it. The project will help the police to spot the triggers which might indicate homicide when dealing with missing person reports.
Prior to joining USW in January 2015, I worked for Leicestershire Police for over twelve years. This included roles as a Crime Recorder/Receiver and Research Officer. Between June 2007 - November 2010, I worked as the Protecting Vulnerable People Intelligence analyst, with analytical responsibility for the Public Protection Investigation Unit, which included the child abuse investigation unit, sexual and dangerous offenders, serious sexual offences, and child sexual exploitation. I utilised analytical techniques and specialised IT software (i2 Analyst Notebook) to create analytical products, which assisted detectives in the investigation of crime and the presentation of material at court. Most recently (November 2010 - January 2015), I was a Review Officer - I worked as part of a team reviewing undetected homicides, domestic homicides, stranger rapes, cold cases, serious and organised crime, and long-term missing persons. I outlined recommendations for further work, identified good practice, and ensured the investigation conformed to nationally approved standards, had not overlooked any investigative opportunities and had been conducted with integrity and objectivity. As part of this role, I gained experience of using police databases such as HOLMES (used for major crimes) and COMPACT (used for missing person investigations). I also observed post-mortems and completed placements with forensic services, the dog section and firearms unit.

Helen Vassallo
Associate Professor of French and Translation, University of Exeter
My two primary areas of research are literature in translation, and contemporary women's writing in French. My Translating Women research project, launched in 2018, brings together my interests in translated literature and women's writing. The aim of Translating Women is to engage with publishers, translators, booksellers, the media and readers in order to address intersectional gender bias within the publishing industry. This research led to my most recent book, Towards a Feminist Translator Studies: Intersectional Activism in Translation and Publishing (Routledge, October 2022), in which I develop a new critical model that works towards shifting paradigms in the translated literature sector of the publishing industry and presents a positive opportunity to address gender and interconnecting forms of bias. This research was also informed by my work with English PEN on the AHRC-funded network Changing the Landscape: Diversity and Translated Fiction in the UK Publishing Industry. The network brought together publishers, translators and academics to analyse and challenge connected forms of bias in the production and reception of translated fiction.
My recent translation work includes two plays by Darina Al Joundi, The Day Nina Simone Stopped Singing and Marseillaise My Way (both released by Naked Eye Publishing), a collection of short stories and essays by Leïla Slimani, The Devil is in the Detail and other writings (Liverpool University Press, 2023) and Al Joundi's novel Prisoner of the Levant (Liverpool University Press, 2024). I am currently working on several other translation projects, including my role as project co-lead on translations of Ukrainian war poetry.
Other research interests
My early research resulted in two books on French author Jeanne Hyvrard, and highlighted my interest in the literary and autobiographical manifestations of social and physical conflict and trauma. Moving on from this, I began to focus on narratives of war, or of the transmitted legacy of war.
I have published several articles which focus specifically on literature in French which deals with the legacy of the Algerian War of Independence, as well as completing a British Academy-funded monograph titled The Body Besieged: The Embodiment of Historical Memory in Nina Bouraoui and Leïla Sebbar and an article on a previously unpublished text by the actor and playwright Rachid Akbal, written and performed to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of Algerian independence from France.
My dual interest in gender and narratives of war also links in to my work on Lebanese playwright and actress Darina Al-Joundi, on whose critically acclaimed play Le Jour où Nina Simone a cessé de chanter I have published a number of articles.
