Shabnam Holliday

Associate Professor in International Relations, University of Plymouth
I am Associate Professor in International Relations. My research interests are focused on 3 areas:
The role of ideas in Iran and their relationship with domestic and international politics
I have looked at the ideas of ‘nation’, ‘democracy’, and ‘the people’ in the context of the Islamic Republic of Iran. My publications have looked at how these ideas are constructed and the meanings that are attached to them. Building on this, I am currently working on the idea of ‘world order’.
Approaches towards a more inclusive and non-Eurocentric IR
I come from an Area Studies and Middle East Politics background and found myself in IR because of my interest in Iran’s relationship with the international. This experience has led me to question and interrogate IR’s Eurocentricity and particularly the relationship between the ‘West’ and ‘the rest’.
Political change, revolution, and legitimacy in post-revolutionary situations
I am interested in the dynamics that lead to revolution and how legitimacy is maintained after a major change in a domestic political order. I have used Antonio Gramsci’s work to explore these dynamics.

Together with her trusty companion, Bob the Tomato Frog, the two of us are on a quest to unravel the enduring mysteries of what makes these creatures so incredibly sticky.

Shane McCorristine

Reader in Cultural History, Newcastle University
I am a Reader in Cultural History at Newcastle University.

I am an interdisciplinary historian with interests in what I call the 'night side' of modern experience - namely social attitudes toward death, dreams, ghosts, hallucinations, and the 'more than rational'. My research argues that, far from being peripheral, these aspects of life were central in making people (especially in western societies) feel modern. In looking at these topics I draw on a variety of approaches and literatures from cultural history, human geography, environmental humanities, and medical humanities.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, I was educated at University College Dublin where I received my PhD in History in 2008. I have been a Marie Curie Fellow and a Wellcome Trust Postdoctoral Fellow in the University of Leicester where I worked on the 'Harnessing the Power of the Criminal Corpse' project. You can visit our online exhibition here. Before this I held research fellowships at Maynooth University, the Rachel Carson Center (Munich), and the Institute of English Studies at the University of London. I was also a research associate at the Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge, for five years.

Shane O'Rourke

Senior Lecturer in Modern History, University of York
Shane O’Rourke began his career as a historian of Imperial and Soviet Russia, looking at the history of the Cossacks in particular. He has produced two books on the Cossacks and numerous articles, covering the Cossacks from Muscovite times into the post-Soviet period.

Over the past four years he has began to develop an interest in the history of Brazil and is now engaged on a major research project comparing the emancipation of the serfs in Russia in 1861 and the slaves in Brazil in 1888. Brazil is also figuring increasingly in his teaching and Shane now offers courses on Brazilian as well as Russian history.

Shane’s research interests have changed sharply over the past four years. From being a social historian of Russia, he has now broadened his interests to become a historian of Brazil. His work at the moment is writing a comparison of the emancipation of servile labour in both countries in the second half of the nineteenth century. This will be the first work to compare explicitly Brazil and Russia. As part of this project, he is working on two royal women, Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna and Princess Isabel of Brazil, and their role in the emancipation of servile labour. An article on Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna will be published in Autumn 2011 in The Russian Review.

Shannon Murray

Research assistant at the Substance Use Research Group and PhD Candidate, University of South Wales
I am currently a doctoral student at Cardiff University conducting research into young gay and bisexual men's experiences of IPV and a research assistant within the Substance Use Research Group (SURG) at USW. We are working on a number of projects such as the evaluation of the Gwent heroin and crack cocaine action area, lessons from COVID-19 on substance use service provision, the impact of minimum pricing for alcohol on drinkers and their families in Wales and substance use and related behaviours among university students as part of the Higher Education Alcohol and Drugs (HEADS) programme.

I was awarded funding in 2021/22 in collaboration with Professor Katy Holloway, Dr Marian Buhociu and Visiting Professor Rhian Hills (Senior Drug Policy Manager for Welsh Government) from USW's Knowledge Exchange and Innovation Fund (KEIF) to undertake a feasibility study that focuses on substance use among LGBTQ+ communities.

Our research project focused exclusively on LGBTQ+ communities and sought to understand why some people in these groups use drugs and/or alcohol and why there is an underrepresentation of these groups within drug and alcohol services. It is important to understand the experiences of people from within the LGBTQ+ groups and to provide them with a voice, as they are at a greater risk of hazardous alcohol and drug use than heterosexual cis-gendered men and women.

From the findings of this important research, a staff toolkit was co-created for substance use services in the UK alongside staff from GDAS, using the responses obtained from participants. This is now being used by staff throughout GDAS' various locations in Wales.

I am really interested in making collaborative relationships and co-produced research. My research focus relates mainly to harm reduction and exploring stereotypes around hidden victims of domestic abuse (mainly LGBTQ+ and male victim/survivors) with the view of making real change in support services in the UK.
