Gemma Davies
Associate Professor in Criminal Law, Durham University
Gemma joined Durham Law School as Associate Professor in Criminal Law in September 2022. Her research interests and expertise broadly lie at the intersection between criminal law and public international law. This includes exploring issues around transnational criminal law, extradition, European criminal law, Part Three of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, and criminal jurisdiction amongst others. Her work aims to understand barriers to criminal justice cooperation, particularly between the UK and other states and seeks to facilitate better cooperation which also adequately protects the privacy and fundamental rights of citizens. In recent years she has worked on two funded projects which considered the implications of Brexit for criminal justice cooperation between the UK and Ireland and policing of the dark web. She has most recently written on UK access to electronic evidence stored overseas and the continued role EU data protection rules play in cooperation with third states such as the U.S., even after Brexit.
Her focus is on producing research which engages with policy and practice. She draws on her background as a barrister practising in criminal law from 2005 to 2012 and her many years of experience teaching students undertaking the vocational stage of qualification as a barrister at Northumbria University. Maintaining links with the profession continues to be important to her work. She regularly contributes to Parliamentary inquiries and consultations and has twice given oral evidence to a Parliamentary Committee which can be seen here and here. She has experience of writing policy focused research papers aimed at a non-academic audience and has written for think tanks such as UK in a Changing Europe and the LSE Brexit blog. She has made media appearances on radio and been cited by the Guardian, the BBC, and the Irish Times and the Irish Law Commission. She has also provided training to the judiciary on the extradition provisions of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement.
Outside of the university Gemma currently sits on the advisory board of the Independent Commission on UK-EU Relations focusing on the post-Brexit relationship between the UK and EU in the field of criminal justice and security cooperation. She is also an elected committee member of the European Criminal Law Association (UK) which aims to study, discuss and provide information on the development of the criminal law in Europe by means of seminars and publications. She also founded the UK-Irish Criminal Justice Cooperation Network with funding from the AHRC and previously was a committee member of the Association of Law Teachers. She has been Principal Investigator, Co-investigator or team member in 7 funded research projects which have been funded by the European Commission, Nordsfork, the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, the Society of Legal Scholars and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. She is book review editor of the International Journal of Evidence and Proof. She is currently the Bar Standards Board Lead External Examiner for Advocacy.

Impact Fellow for Centre for Freedom of the Media, University of Sheffield
Gemma is the Impact Fellow for the Centre for Freedom of the Media (CFOM) at the School of Journalism, Media and Communication, University of Sheffield. She started the position in September 2022. She is also the Assistant Editor for the European Journal of Communication. From 2019-2022, she was a University Teacher in the Department of Communication and Media at the University of Liverpool where she taught on a range of topics including media freedom and human rights. She is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). She has also worked as a Research Assistant for CFOM. Her work as a research assistant has involved her working on a number of projects. The first project was commissioned by the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) and involved ‘Examining the impact of IPSO on Editorial Standards and Complaints’ Handling for the press regulator in the UK.’ She also worked on the ‘Building an African media network with the African Media Initiative’ project.
She gained her PhD from the School of Journalism, Media and Communication at the University of Sheffield in January 2020. Prior to that, she graduated with an MA in Magazine Journalism at the University of Sheffield in 2017 and a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of York in 2015. She also achieved a Grade A in her NCTJ Essential Media Law and Regulation exam and her Court Reporting exam. She has had extensive work experience in national magazines and news outlets, such as Radio Times, Closer, heat and Press Association. It was her experience at these publications that influenced her PhD. Gemma’s PhD research focused on the right to privacy of celebrities and how this is balanced with freedom of expression. It explored how celebrities’ privacy rights are protected in law and ethical codes in the UK, with a particular focus on whether anything has changed since the Leveson Inquiry. She adopted a comparative legal analysis for her research, comparing the laws of the UK to the laws of France and the US, alongside using qualitative methods, such as interviews and document analysis. Since then, her work has been published in Communications Law and the Journal of Media Law.

Geoff Bird
My PhD work (which was supervised by Professor Cecilia Heyes at UCL), was on the mechanisms by which we imitate the actions of others. After this I moved to the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience (ICN) at UCL, where I worked with Professors Chris and Uta Frith on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
This work primarily utilised functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and investigated a number of processes in adults with ASD. These included: attentional modulation of social and non-social stimuli, executive functions, empathy, decision making, and emotional awareness. While at the ICN I also looked at the development of theory of mind and social emotions across adolescence with Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, and studied the neural basis of empathy and fairness with Professor Tania Singer.
Following the ICN, I moved to the Centre for Economic Learning and Social Evolution (ELSE) as a Postdoctoral Fellow where I continued to work with Professor Heyes on studies of imitation and decision making in typically-developing adults and adults with ASD. From October 2007 I took a year's position as an advisor on science policy to the UK government before joining the Department of Psychological Sciences at Birkbeck in October 2008. I moved to the MRC SGDP Centre at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience (IoPPN), King's College London in January 2013 where I continued to work on social cognition in typical individuals and those with ASD. At the IoPPN I developed a keen interest in interoception (our ability to perceive the internal state of our body) and alexithymia (a sub-clinical condition characterised by an inability to identify and describe one's own emotions). In January 2017 I moved to the Dept of Experimental Psychology at Oxford where I hope to continue this work.

I am the Project Manager for the Threatened Species Index (TSX) at the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN). The TSX integrates long-term monitoring data for Australia’s threatened species. The core of my job is liaising with data custodians from across the country to help them enter their hard-won field data into the TSX, ensuring it provides up-to-date estimates of change in the abundance of Australia’s threatened species. Outside of my TSX role, I continue to pursue research at the intersection of applied ecology and herpetology. I study the spatial and temporal dynamics of reptiles and amphibians at landscape-scales, seeking insights into population processes to guide conservation planning. I also work on the impacts of chytridiomycosis on threatened frogs, with particular interest in environmental factors that reduce disease risk and provide habitat-based mechanisms for conservation management.

Geoff Macdonald
Professor of Psychology, University of Toronto
In general, my lab focuses on issues of social connection and disconnection. I’m well versed in attachment theory, and have spent a lot of time working on issues around the intersection of attachment avoidance and intimacy (e.g., Muise et al., in press; Sanscartier & MacDonald, 2019; Schrage et al., in press). However, much of the research in my lab is student-driven, so it is difficult to anticipate what direction the lab’s work will take in the future. For example, my past students have developed ideas around fears of being single (e.g., Spielmann et al., 2013), relationship decision making (e.g., Joel et al., 2013), and implicit beliefs about sexuality (e.g., Maxwell et al., 2017). My current students focus on issues including positive emotion in romantic relationships, relationship maintenance processes, and even the process of conducting research itself. I’m always open to pursuing a good idea.
However, one emerging theme of the lab’s work is the intersection of singlehood and sexuality. Long-term singlehood is becoming increasingly common yet little is known about what predicts well-being in singlehood (Pepping, MacDonald, & Davis, 2018). Some data from my lab suggests that feeling sexually satisfied is particularly related to being happy with singlehood and life in general (Park, Impett, and MacDonald, in press). But what leads people to feel like their sexual needs are met (or not) as a single person? Not only do we not know, but we don’t even have good measurement instruments to answer the question. My lab is trying to work on both of these issues.
Some broader issues that interest me now include thinking about attachment theory in light of longitudinal findings on the relatively small role of childhood treatment in adult attachment security (see Fraley & Roisman, 2019), the role of Big 5 Personality traits in attraction and maintenance of relationships (e.g., Park & MacDonald, 2019), and better understanding what people are doing psychologically when they let go of a close relationship (e.g., LeRoy et al., 2019).

Geoff Moss
Professor of Sociology, Temple University
After publishing journal articles on the Sociology of Work and Organizations, Education, and Crime, I discovered my greatest sociological passion--the study of cities and communities. I am especially fascinated by urban artistic communities, both past and present, and have utilized the historic constructs of "bourgeois" and "bohemian" to compare and contrast such communities. My book, Artistic Enclaves in the Post-Industrial City: The Case of Lawrenceville Pittsburgh (Springer, 2017), maintains that Lawrenceville's struggling artists have integrated bourgeois and bohemian practices and values to build a sustainable artistic enclave. I have also studied artistic community life in Philadelphia with the help of Sociology doctoral students Rachel Wildfeuer and Keith McIntosh. We recently sent our joint article on Fishtown/Kensington's artistic community to a scholarly journal. Our thesis is that Fishtown/Kensington artists have created an "Artistic Bohemian Lifestyle community" that maintains a significant degree of consistency with the traditional bohemian lifestyle, but that is not animated by the anti-bourgeois attitudes that have been foundational to bohemian community life.
