Luca Bernardi
Senior Lecturer in Politics, University of Liverpool
I am a Senior Lecturer (Junior Associate Professor) in the Department of Politics at the University of Liverpool. I joined the Department as a Lecturer in Politics in September 2019. Before moving to Liverpool, I was a Juan de la Cierva-formación Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Political Science and Public Law at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and part of the DEC research group. Previously, I was a researcher in the ERC-funded ResponsiveGov Project at the School of History, Politics and International Relations at the University of Leicester, where I obtained my PhD with a dissertation investigating the effects of electoral incentives on government responsiveness to public opinion. I hold an MA (Florence) and a BA (Cagliari) in Political Science. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
My research is largely based on quantitative data and I am interested to explore the following research areas and questions:
- Mental health and politics (e.g., how do mental health problems - such as depression, anxiety and stress - influence political perceptions, attitudes, behaviours and decision-making? How does politics affect people's mental health? What are the determinants of policy attention and policy change on mental health?)
- Public opinion and public policy (e.g., to what public opinion signals does policy respond? To what extent do factors such as electoral incentives condition the opinion-policy link? What are the consequences of government (non)responsiveness?)
- Mass-elite linkages (e.g., what are the causes and consequences of voters' perceptions of parties' policy positions? Do voters punish and reward parties for what they say or what they do?)

Luca Peruzzotti-Jametti
Senior Research Associate and Honorary Neurology Consultant, University of Cambridge
Luca Peruzzotti-Jametti is a Senior Research Associate, Honorary Neurology Consultant, and Group Leader within the Department of Clinical Neurosciences at Cambridge University (UK), and Honorary Senior Lecturer in the Department of Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction, Imperial College London (UK).
Luca obtained his MD from the University Vita-Salute San Raffaele of Milan, Italy (2007). He completed a residency program in Neurology at the same University (2013) and a following PhD in Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Cambridge, UK (2018). During his early graduate studies, he was a visiting scientist in major European universities, such as the University Hospital in Zürich (Switzerland), the University of Aarhus (Denmark), the Laboratory of Stem Cells and Restorative Neurology of Lund (Sweden) and the University of Innsbruck (Austria). He later progressed towards a post-doctoral position at Cambridge University (2018) and then became Group Leader within the Cambridge Center for Myelin Repair (CCMR) and Department of Clinical Neurosciences (2020).
Over the last 10+ years, Luca has made key contributions to the understanding of the pathobiology of inflammation in central nervous system (CNS) diseases. His research in regenerative neuroimmunology led to novel experimental advanced therapeutics with neural stem cells, acellular therapeutics (e.g., extracellular vesicles), and small molecules for the treatment of ischemic stroke, spinal cord injury, and progressive multiple sclerosis (MS).
Luca’s most recent work is focusing on cellular metabolism and mitochondria to find novel ways to modulate chronic inflammation and favour CNS regeneration. To this aim, he has developed unique tools to model metabolic/mitochondrial dysfunctions in vitro (using human cells and gene editing techniques) and in vivo (with animal disease models); as well as cutting edge techniques to detect metabolic changes in rodent and human cells and tissues. His multi-disciplinary approach is setting the stage for a new series of interventions that target cell metabolism in immune cells, as the next opportunity to promote the healing of the persistently inflamed CNS.
Luca’s laboratory activity is documented in >60 PubMed indexed publications - including Cell Stem Cell, New England Journal of Medicine, Nature Medicine, and Nature Chemical Biology - which have received >8,300 citations, having a Hirsch Factor of 27.

Lucas Henneman
Assistant Professor of Engineering, George Mason University
Lucas Henneman’s research focuses on air pollution and health. He is most interested in telling success stories—for example, about how environmental regulations have improved our air quality and health—and the opportunities to create more success stories by identifying air pollution sources that make people sick. His day-to-day research leverages large datasets and computer models to track pollution after it’s emitted to where it is breathed in by people like us. For example, he found that emission reductions at coal power plants over the last twenty years have left the entire country healthier and increased life expectancy.
Henneman studied environmental engineering through his PhD and then landed a job in public health right after graduation. Through the experience, he learned the importance of communicating complex environmental phenomena to a multidisciplinary audience. He is passionate about giving students the tools they’ll need to measure, model, and communicate information about the environment so that they can lead the world to a healthier future.

Lucie Middlemiss
Professor in Environment and Society, University of Leeds
Prof. Lucie Middlemiss is Professor of Environment and Society in the Sustainability Research Institute, at the University of Leeds in the UK. She wrote the first textbook on Sustainable Consumption (Routledge, 2018), and has research interests in sustainable consumption, energy poverty and participation in sustainable development. Her research on energy poverty brings together qualitative insights into the lived experience (including the first paper to use this term in 2015), with critical policy analysis (notably a critique of English policy in this area in 2017). She is motivated by connecting deep understandings of energy consumption in daily life, with planning, measuring, monitoring and decision-making by policy-makers and practitioners. In more recent work, she has led a team conducting secondary qualitative analysis of lived experience data (2019 and 2020), resulting in insights into the importance of social relations in energy consumption (see also 2020 in Nature Energy). She was also part of a team which produced a white paper on energy poverty for the Netherlands in 2020: translating state of the art academic thinking on this topic into concrete policy recommendations. She is currently working on three projects: Wellbased, a EU project on health and energy poverty, Whole Person Whole Place, looking at the role of social relations in energy renovation, and Understanding Family and Community vulnerability in the transition to Net Zero.

Lucy Blake
Research Associate at the Centre for Family Research, University of Cambridge
As a Research Associate at the Centre for Family Research at the University of Cambridge, I conduct and coordinate studies that focus on family relationships and psychological well-being.
My research has focused on families created through assisted reproductive technologies, such as sperm donation, egg donation, and surrogacy. I have explored how parents explain their use of donor eggs, sperm or surrogates, to their young children. I have also examined how children think and feel about their families.
More recently, my research has focused on the breakdown of family relationships, sometimes referred to as family estrangement. This relatively common phenomenon has received little research attention. The aim of my research is to expand upon what we know about the causes, processes and consequences of relationship breakdown between family members, and to explore how estrangement affects and influences psychological well-being.
I am committed to conducting high quality research on families that is of use to policy makers, practitioners, and families themselves. There is a lot to gain from moving beyond assumptions and studying families as they actually are.

Lucy Donkin
Senior lecturer in History and History of Art, University of Bristol
I work within and between the disciplines of History and History of Art, specialising in visual and material culture. My research interests lie in medieval perceptions of place, with particular reference to Italy and its relationships with the wider Mediterranean region and transalpine Europe.
My previous research primarily focused on sacred space, especially the creation, use, and decoration of holy ground. My book Standing on Holy Ground in the Middle Ages (Cornell University Press / Combined Academic Publishers) examines themes such as the phenomenon of holy footprints, the liturgical shaping of consecrated space, and the design and function of ecclesiastical floor decoration. I have a related interest in medieval cartography and co-edited with Dr Hanna Vorholt (University of York) a volume of essays on maps of Jerusalem: Imagining Jerusalem in the Medieval West. I have also published on the representation of subterranean environments in religious art from regions specialising in mining and have been involved in collaborative research on cultural responses to seismic activity.
My current research explores the materiality and portability of place as this was exemplified by the symbolic movement of soil. The main project explores spiritual, political, and environmental connotations of moving earth to and from the city of Rome during the Middle Ages and early modern period. I am also interested in understandings of soil and the environment within the medieval Islamic world and in modern uses of earth in contexts of commemoration and migration.
I am a member of the University of Bristol Centre for Medieval Studies, the Centre for Environmental Humanities, and Migration Mobilities Bristol.
My research interests inform my teaching for the History and History of Art departments. I contribute to a number of team-taught units including Episodes in Global Visual Culture, The Medieval World, Crusading Cultures, and Wild Things. I teach History of Art units on Artistic Exchange in the Mediterranean and Vision, and a History unit on Travel and Trade in the Global Middle Ages. I also co-teach an interdisciplinary unit on The Italian City with colleagues from History of Art and the Department of Italian.

Lucy Sheppard-Marks
Lecturer Sport and Event Management, Bournemouth University
Dr Lucy Sheppard-Marks is a Lecturer in Sport and Event Management, and the Programme Leader for BA Event Management. Lucy currently teaches across the sports and event management programmes and specialises in leadership, organisational behaviour and professional development. Lucy previously served as an officer within the Royal Air Force and during her 12 years service specialised in counter intelligence, crime analysis and more latterly training and development. Her research focuses on sport and criminality, with a particular emphasis on the experiences of those athletes who commit crimes.
Dr Sheppard-Marks’ research interests and thought leadership focus on sport criminality. By exploring the experiences of athletes who commit crimes, she believes it is possible to not only improve the treatment of athletes following transgressions, but also to use these insights to educate athletes and players associations to reduce future criminality. Her thesis, and 2020 publication, considered the experiences of elite male athletes who committed criminal offences either during or at the end of their sporting careers. Current research activity continues to develop a number of themes that emerged from her PhD, while also exploring the issue of spot fixing across all sports.
