Professor of Modern History, University of Essex
I am a historian of modern Britain, who works on the experience and memory of the two World Wars. My research has included studies of the ways that both wars are remembered in Britain (and what gets forgotten) such as 'War and the British' (1998 and 2023) and studies of the experience of war (Dying for the Nation, 2020). My interest in the social and cultural history of war was shaped by my grandparent's stories of life in wartime London and Coventry and I enjoy finding untold stories and working with students and colleagues to explore the uses that the memory of war is out to in modern Britain.

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.
