Sally Archibald works on understanding the dynamics of savanna ecosystems in the context of global change. Her work integrates field ecological data, remote sensing, modelling, and biogeochemistry. She is currently involved in collaborative research projects on grass functional traits, inter-continental savanna comparisons, and the origins of wet-dry seasonality in Africa.
Sally’s research on global fire regimes has highlighted misunderstandings about the role of humans in altering patterns of fire, and has provided new tools for managing fire in conservation areas to promote biodiversity. Insights from her collaborative research into savanna ecosystem functioning is contributing towards better definitions of degradation in tropical ecosystems.
Current research interests include understanding fire, herbivores and droughts as drivers of tropical grasslands, inter-continental savanna comparisons, and the origins of wet-dry seasonality in Africa.

Senior Lecturer in Criminology, University of Westminster
Sally Atkinson-Sheppard was awarded her PhD from King’s College London after completing an ethnographic study into street children’s involvement in organised crime in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Sally began her career as a researcher for the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) in London, where she worked with young offenders engaged in violent offending, developed the MPS first Gangs Manual and represented the MPS in a collaborative study with the British Prison Service which explored the psychology of gang related violence. Sally went on to advise on a variety of criminal justice reform projects in Bangladesh, including leading the Bangladesh Prison Directorate and the Bangladesh Anti-Corruption Commission through the development of their first strategic plans. She then lived in Beijing for 3 years where she led a study into migrant children’s involvement in gangs and organised crime in China. Sally now works as a senior lecturer in Criminology at the University of Westminster.
Sally’s research has been published in various journals including the British Journal of Criminology, Critical Criminology, the Asian Journal of Criminology, Child Abuse and Neglect and the Journal of Public Health among others.

Palgrave Macmillan was awarded the Asian Society of Criminology distinguished book award in 2020. Sally frequently presents her work at international conferences and universities including the University of Cambridge, Oxford University, King’s College London, Hong Kong University and the University of Dhaka.
Sally’s current research focuses on county lines in the UK, specifically coercion, control and young people’s agency. She is involved in studies which consider street children’s relationship with play and the UNCRC and gang member life histories. Sally’s research also develops comparative analysis of street children’s involvement in gangs and organised crime in Asia (notably Bangladesh, China and Nepal) and, in collaboration with colleagues in Nepal, the first study into street children’s involvement in gangs and organised crime in Kathmandu. She is writing her second book, ‘Through the lens of labour: developing pan-Asia understandings of young people’s involvement in gangs and organised crime’. The book will propose and develop a new theoretical framework for considering juvenile offending ‘through the lens of labour’.

Associate Professor of Political Science, University at Albany, State University of New York
Professor Friedman, who teaches courses in a variety of areas of American politics and methodology, is particularly interested in aspects of political representation and the processes associated with a representative democracy. Thus, her 2007 book Dilemmas of Representation is an effort to highlight the balance of local and national elements that make up the home styles of current members of Congress. While many scholars (rightly) highlight the importance of staying “local” as one goes about the business of “representing” constituents, in the modern era of strong parties, diverse groups and polarizing issues, in-depth case studies document how members of Congress additionally incorporate national elements in their presentations of self to constituents. The work also suggests that in fact the local and national elements of politics may be more connected than much previous literature has emphasized, and the case studies highlight the multi-faceted ways legislators have found to represent constituents.
In several other publications and papers, Professor Friedman has delved into other aspects of representation. Thus, questions she has researched have included: Do social backgrounds—in particular a background in business—impact legislative behavior (see Friedman and Witko—Congress & the Presidency). What factors impact the home styles of Latino representatives (see Friedman in Erikson forthcoming and Friedman, paper presented at the American Political Science Association meetings, 2008). In a partisan era, what factors lead some legislators to cross the aisle to work in a bipartisan manner (see Friedman and Ferradino, paper presented at the Midwest Political Science Association, 2008). In her efforts, Professor Friedman enjoys working with a variety of methodological approaches, including both qualitative and quantitative research.

Using coral reefs as a model system, my team aims to:
(1) figure out if, when, how and why animal behaviour can scale up to influence the diversity and distribution of life on Earth,
(2) identify and explain global geographical patterns in animal behaviour,
(3) capture the impact of environmental change on (1)&(2), predict ecological vulnerability into the future, and offer solutions to increase ecosystem resilience.
To achieve these aims, we combine purpose-built fieldwork with a macroecological approach, conducting behavioural research in multiple locations across the world. This broad geographic coverage allows us to identify generalisable "rules" for how animals behave and understand how behaviour is affected by an animal's biotic and abiotic environment in the real-world.
