Sean Campbell

Associate Professor of Media and Culture, Anglia Ruskin University

Associate Professor of Media and Culture, Anglia Ruskin University Sean’s research explores the politics of media and popular culture. He has published a number of books and has advised on television and radio programmes. He led the Film and Media unit’s submission to the REF in 2021, having coordinated its successful return in 2014, for which he convened an impact case study, which centred on a six-part television documentary series on which Sean was Series Adviser, and which drew on his book, 'Irish Blood, English Heart': Second-Generation Irish Musicians in England (Cork University Press). This AHRC-funded book was named Music Book of the Year in the Sunday Times. Sean is currently writing a book on popular music and political conflict, entitled Combat Rock. He is also developing research on popular-cultural invocations of the Anglo-Scottish border. Sean is co-convenor (and co-founder) of the Modern Irish History seminar at the University of Cambridge, which is supported by the Irish Embassy in London. He has been a member of the AHRC Peer Review College, and has appeared on Channel 4 News, the BBC World Service, RTÉ, DW-TV (Germany), CBC TV and Radio (Canada), and ABC Radio (Australia).

Stacy Carter

Professor and Director, Australian Centre for Health Engagement, Evidence and Values, University of Wollongong

Professor and Director, Australian Centre for Health Engagement, Evidence and Values, University of Wollongong After a decade working in the NSW health system, I completed an MPH and PhD in public health. I spent a dozen years working in an applied ethics centre, so have special interest and expertise in health ethics. I am now the founding Director of the Australian Centre for Health Engagement, Evidence and Values (ACHEEV) at the University of Wollongong. The work of ACHEEV focuses on health: the health of people, other animals, society and the planet, and how all of these things are connected. Our mission is to make health systems more inclusive and democratic, and in everything we do, we ask how we can work towards greater justice and equity. ACHEEV specialises in deliberative and values-based research methods: these allow us to grapple with what matters to people, and to support groups of Australians to generate recommendations for decision-makers on thorny policy problems.
