Joseph Earl

PhD Candidate, Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University

PhD Candidate, Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University My research is focussed upon public engagement, specifically in the field of citizen science, where I am working to establish Coast Watchers, an initative that aims to use citizen collected data to monitor coastal change at Cleveleys on the Fylde Coast, Lancashire. The key challenge is how we can use citizen science to better understand, communicate and prepare for coastal hazards across both the scientific and public communities. The project is currently considering the value and importance of coastal blue space in the Fylde region, reflecting on the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic upon how people interact with and experience coastal space.

Jules Holroyd

Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, University of Sheffield

Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, University of Sheffield Jules is a senior lecturer at the University of Sheffield. Their research is in social and moral philosophy. Much of Jules' previous research has focused on implicit gender and racial biases – automatic patterns of thought that can lead us to stereotype and discriminate. Jules has written on the ways in which we, and institutions in which we participate, perpetuate injustices, and what to do about it – their research has examined notions such a discrimination, collective vices, and integrity in criminal justice. This research spans the topics of political philosophy, moral psychology and social philosophy (in particular, feminist philosophy and philosophy of race). Their current work focuses on how praise, in response to achievements - which philosophers have typically assumed to be a benefit - might instead sometimes perpetuate oppression and injustice. Jules has led interdisciplinary research projects (with psychologists) that have investigated how to address implicit biases (with a Leverhulme Trust Project Grant, 2014-2017), and worked with legal scholars in exploring the implications of this research for legal concepts and practice. More recently Jules received a fellowship from the Mind Association to complete a book on praise. Jules has had the opportunity to use this research in a range of contexts, such as with members of the judiciary and the civil service in the UK; in making policy recommendations within higher education institutions regarding parental leave policies and practice; developing gender inclusion policies to guide interactions between staff and students in higher education; and reviewing policies regarding recognition and promotion.
