Reader in History, University of York

Reader in History, University of York My immersion in the sixteenth century began at Merton College, Oxford, where I was taught by Steven Gunn and Blair Worden, and attended lectures by Christopher Haigh and Penry Williams. I studied for an MA as a Thouron Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania before returning to Oxford to research my doctorate on Tudor royal propaganda. I came to York in 2005, having worked on the Tudor desk at the Dictionary of National Biography and as a teaching fellow at Lincoln College, Oxford. My research focuses on the political, religious and cultural history of sixteenth-century England, and I am also interested in the history of early colonial America and Ireland. I write for the Times Literary Supplement and give regular public lectures – see ‘External Activity’ for more details.

James A. Shepperd

Professor of Psychology, University of Florida

Professor of Psychology, University of Florida My research expertise is in the area of Self and Self-processes. I am particularly interested in people’s expectations about the future and how expectations persevere and change in the face of challenging information. I also explore how people respond when they receive challenging information. Most of my research focuses on three areas: 1) optimism, risk perceptions and behavior, 2) fluctuations in future outlooks, and 3) maintaining desired self-views. However, I also have an interest in psychological approaches to gun policy positions.
