Professor, Family Studies, Mount Saint Vincent University
I received a Bachelor of Home Economics in Family Studies from Mount Saint Vincent University, a Master in Science in Family Life Education from the University of Alberta, and a PhD in Educational Foundations from Dalhousie University.
Research and professional activity with military and Veteran families has been my main focus over the course of my career. Informed by ecological theory and critical theory, I am dedicated to advancing knowledge about the cycle of deployment, military-to-civilian-transition, the impacts of operational stress injuries, and military and Veteran family resilience(y), largely from the standpoints of the families of serving members and Veterans. Recently, my military/Veteran research program has expanded to include an emphasis on the impacts of operational stress on the families of public service personnel (law enforcement officers, paramedics, firefighters). This research and professional activity is applied, collaborative, and interdisciplinary.
Family violence research and practice is also an interest, as reflected in my recent involvement with the Gendered Violence Prevention Network, a collaboration between Mount Saint Vincent University and the Nova Scotia Advisory Council on the Status of Women. In collaboration with Dr. Diane Crocker at Saint Mary’s University and the Be the Peace Institute, I am a co-investigator on study investigating the meaning of justice for women who have experienced gender-based based violence, identifying implications for system change.

Head of Journalism & Media, Nottingham Trent University
I lead the Department of Journalism and Media at Nottingham Trent University in the UK, which houses the Centre for Broadcasting and Journalism, and have designed and delivered undergraduate and postgraduate programmes focused on journalism, broadcasting, and media since the 1990s. Former roles include Deputy Head and Director of Teaching and Learning of the School of English and Journalism at the University of Lincoln.
My broadcasting career with the BBC as a producer, reporter and presenter spanned news, current affairs and general programming. My later work was recognised with six Regional (International) RTDNA Edward R Murrow Awards. This broadcasting work fed directly into my teaching, which has encompassed radio and broadcast journalism practice and theory at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
I developed a particular research interest in radio history, such as the BBC’s output during World War 2 and the early days of BBC Local Radio. I have examined radio as the original social medium, considering its enduring relevance today and more recently I extended my scholarship to consider the relationship between broadcasting and the monarchy.
My teaching, research and industry engagement has led to involvement with a number of organisations in the field. I am a Director on the Board of the US-based Broadcast Education Association, where I represent the international members. This builds on longstanding commitments with UK groups such as the Radio Studies Network and Radio Academy. I also serve on the Committee of the Association for Journalism Education and was the Vice-President of the European Journalism Training Association where I worked to ensure that organisation’s membership of the World Journalism Education Congress.

Senior Lecturer, Clinical Microbiology, RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences
Healthcare-associated infections (HCAI) are those that occur in patients receiving medical treatment in a hospital, long-term care facility or as an outpatient. These infections increasingly involve bacteria that are resistant to most antibiotics and are therefore difficult to treat. The organisms that represent the most risk to human health, and for which we have limited treatment options are the ESKAPE pathogens (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Actinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter Spp.). My main areas of interest are the molecular epidemiology, transmission and pathogenesis of HCAIs, particularly ESKAPE pathogens and Clostridium difficile. Our group explores how these aspects of HCAIs can underpin the development of more effective infection control strategies and novel anti-infective therapeutics.Past and current projects have investigated:The significance of the host immune response and bacterial virulence to the clinical outcome of bloodstream infections caused by S. aureus including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA).The patterns and transmission of antibiotic-resistance genes in Gram-negative pathogens that produce extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL).The potential contribution of horizontal gene transfer within biofilms to the evolution of S. aureus.Detection and transmission of antibiotic-resistance pathogens such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) in the clinical environment adjacent to patients.The effectiveness of targeted antimicrobial peptides and other novel agents, against specific infections involving antibiotic resistant pathogens such as MRSA (catheter-associated and wound infection), ESBL-producers (urinary tract and bloodstream infections)and P. aeruginosa (chronic respiratory infections) and infections involving multiple organisms (diabetic foot infections).

Associate Professor in American Literature, University of Leeds
I have teaching and research interests across American, Irish and English popular culture, including music, literature, theatre, cinema and theory with a particular emphasis on the interrelations between culture, writing and affect.
Henry James has been foundational for my work in many different ways. James featured prominently in my book On Sibling Love and I have published on the figure of apostrophe and its relationship to mourning in recent James-fixated fiction by writers like Alan Hollinghurst as well as on the relationship between devotion and queer subjectivity in James's short stories.
Cinema and visual culture have played an important part in my other work which has looked, for example, at Fincher's 1995 film Seven in terms of queer theory and more recently at the role of the pair in Robert Mapplethorpe's photography. But my more recent work has focused on Theatre, Irish Studies and creative writing. My work on theatre concentrates on the Dutch Theatre company Toneelgroep, Amsterdam (TGA). I have recently completed a major article about TGA's production of Tony Kushner's Angels in America paying attention to the "presence" of David Bowie's music and persona in their reading of those plays.
