Instructional Assistant, Greek and Roman Studies, McMaster University My name is Dr. Stephen Russell, and I work in the Department of Greek and Roman Studies at McMaster University. I received my PhD in 2011 (in Classics, with a focus on Latin literature) and have been leading our medical language programme since 2013. My main interest now lies in medical language, whether it is the Latin of anatomy or the formulas that are applied to the Greek-based clinical terms. There are many fascinating unexplored areas of medical language that require study, and I find it particularly exciting since there is an opening for people who both know formulaic and practical etymology, and can apply this knowledge to the predictable world of medical language.

Lecturer in Archaeology and Radical Humanities, University College Cork I am originally from Bangor, Co Down and studied at Queen's University Belfast (BSc (Hons) Geography, Archaeology-Palaeoecology, MSc Professional Archaeology, and PhD Archaeology). I completed postdoctoral fellowships at KU Leuven (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs) and Trinity College Dublin (Ireland, funded by TCD) before I started teaching archaeology and heritage studies at The University of Sheffield (UK). I held a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Fellowship at Aarhus University (Denmark) before joining UCC in September 2023 as lecturer in Radical Humanities and Archaeology. As a buildings archaeologist, I am interested primarily in the built environment of medieval Europe and have written about English lodging ranges, castles and great houses, and Irish tower houses and round towers. I am interested in how buildings were the products of social norms and expectations and how, in return, they were agents that shaped everyday life. I am equally interested in the role of historic buildings in our contemporary society and have explored the impacts of climate change on our built heritage in Ireland, Scotland and Denmark. I have written and published on the important role heritage has in climate communication and climate action, and I continue to work on the topic in West Cork.
