Lydia Merrett
Lecturer in Fine Art, Manchester Metropolitan University
I am an artist and academic, working as a Fine Art Lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University.
I completed my MFA degree at the Slade School of Fine Art (UCL) in 2023 with a distinction and won the Almacantar Studio Prize for my graduate show. In 2022 I was awarded the Terence Cuneo Memorial Trust prize for my commitment to painting during my studies at the Slade. In 2016 I completed my BA from Goldsmiths, University of London where I also focused on painting and the female body.
My research is centred around experiences of womenhood, which incorporates painting, drawing and printmaking. My large-scale canvases celebrate women’s emotional, physical and psychological capabilities, whether they are captured running, practising a headstand or preparing for the act of painting.
Contextualised against traditional art-historical representations of women that frequently constrain the female body within interior settings or sexualise it as an object of desire, my paintings champion the potential for women to find freedom and friendship through physical expression. The active body becomes a site of confidence for women from which they are able to orientate and assert their place in the world as they engage in a diverse range of activities.
My work has been exhibited across the UK and, in 2024, I presented an online exhibition with Unit London and my first international exhibition in Seoul. My work is in collections around the world.

Lynette R. Goldberg
Associate Professor, Wicking Dementia Research Education Centre, University of Tasmania
Lyn Goldberg, a speech pathologist, was recruited to the Wicking Centre in 2014 to develop a focus on oral health and function related to dementia, consolidating her background in speech pathology and international experience in interprofessional education and practice. Prior to 2014, Goldberg was the John and Ruby Hendren Distinguished Professor in the College of Health Professions at Wichita State University, Kansas, USA, and member of the Executive Board of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), guiding the Association’s financial, long-term planning and multicultural initiatives. At the Wicking Centre, Goldberg is a Graduate Research Coordinator, online educator and community-based researcher.
With NHMRC-Dementia Collaborative Research Centre program funding ($99,752, 2016-17, CIA), Lyn initiated an innovative interprofessional program in which a speech pathologist, dentist, and nutritionist worked with residential care staff to screen the oral health, nutritional status, and swallowing ability of residents, and document residents’ perceptions of their health-related quality of life. Further philanthropic funding ($34,300) enabled a clinical trial to document the positive effects of an evidence-based oral health program to decrease chest infections and aspiration pneumonia. Findings resulted in a policy change within the national organization.
Lyn's work now focuses on Aboriginal-led, community-based research to promote health and wellbeing and reduce dementia risk. She served on the National Committee for the Action Plan to implement the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Roadmap for Dementia Research and Translation. In the past five years she has served on externally funded grants totaling $11.5M (lead CI on 5, AI on 3), complemented by University/College funding of $529,314.

My research aims at improving how we design digitally enabled services like telehealth so that they can better address human needs. My research program focuses on three key aspects of the design of digitally enabled services: the need for improved models and modeling techniques supporting the analysis and design of these systems; the need to articulate their sociotechnical architectures; and the need to anchor the design of the information and communication technologies (ICTs) embedded in these systems both in relevant theories and in a deep understanding of multiple stakeholder needs. I investigate these aspects in the health care domain, with a particular interest on how they can support the transformation of health systems.
