Rachael Gillibrand

Lecturer in Premodern History, University of Leeds
For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the history of the body. As a child, I was captivated by Mary Dobson’s descriptions of ancient Egyptian perfumes and hair care techniques in her ‘Scratch and Sniff’ book series. I was similarly delighted (and terrified) when, at eight years old, I got to meet a ‘real’ medieval surgeon at the York Dungeons!

Increasingly preoccupied with the body as a construct reconceptualised over time, I decided to pursue history as a career. As such, I completed my BA in History (2014), my MA in Medieval Studies (2015) and my PhD in Medieval Disability Studies (2020) at the University of Leeds. Throughout my doctoral research I investigated the practical ways in which fifteenth- and sixteenth-century disability aids were designed, constructed, and sold; whilst also considering how contemporaries conceptualised bodily augmentation and the day-to-day use of assistive devices.

After finishing my PhD at the University of Leeds, I spent two years teaching History and Heritage Studies at Aberystwyth University, Wales, during which time I was simultaneously employed as the Jaipreet Virdi Fellow for Disability Studies at the Medical Heritage Library. Throughout my fellowship, I developed three curated collections on Ocular Aids, Hearing Aids, and Dental Technologies.

In 2022, I was appointed as Lecturer in Inclusive Learning for the Schools of History and English at the University of Leeds. As a woman from a working-class background and the first in my family to attend university, I am deeply committed to extending and improving inclusivity practices and thinking critically about how the student experience can be improved for students from traditionally marginalised backgrounds within academia.

Rachel Aldred

I am a Senior Lecturer in Transport, and joined Westminster in September 2012 from the University of East London, where I lectured in Sociology. From January 2013 I will lead the MSc Transport Planning and Management. I am particularly interested in sustainable mobilities, and have published widely in this area. A key interest is around intersections between social and environmental justice, as well as potential tensions between the two.

I was primary investigator on the ESRC-funded Cycling Cultures project, which explored cultures of cycling in four English urban areas, using a mix of mainly qualitative methods. I have also recently completed a small project on new cycling advocacy in London, using interviews, ethnographic observations, and online surveys. Another previous project has examined European policies around cars and CO2. Two upcoming projects will develop new approaches to transport modelling. I have started work on a new ESRC-funded seminar series entitled Modelling on the Move which seeks to contribute to transport modelling in the context of sustainability transitions, drawing on social science and health perspectives. I supervise several PhD students and am interested in hearing from prospective PhD students. I sit on the editorial collective of Critical Social Policy and regularly peer review articles for a range of journals and book collections. Recently, I have been invited to speak to the Greater London Assembly and to the Scottish Government based on my research.

She founded the highly successful multi-disciplinary institute - The Secure Societies Institute (SSI), which she directed between 2014 and 2018. Prof. Armitage’s research focuses upon the role of design (place, space, products and systems) in influencing both anti-social and pro-social behaviour. She has conducted research on the subject of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) for over 20 years - evaluating the effectiveness of the Secured by Design (SBD) award scheme, investigating the links between housing design and crime risk, exploring the tensions and synergies between security and sustainability and studying international approaches to preventing crime through design. Her work has been referenced in local, national and international planning policy and guidance, and she aims to ensure that consideration for crime prevention is on the agenda of all agencies involved in planning and developing the built environment. More recently, she has conducted several projects exploring the role of design in counterterrorism at critical infrastructure sites, in particular, multi-modal passenger terminals.

Rachel’s research on housing design has also focused upon the role of housing in the prevention of domestic abuse (specifically the Sanctuary scheme), and the impact of housing on mental and physical health.

As well as her focus upon crime prevention within the built environment, Rachel works closely with many agencies to explore the impact of secondary victimisation of online child sexual abuse – particularly IIOC (Indecent Images of Children). Rachel is the Deputy Chair of Trustees for the Marie Collins Foundation; a Trustee of Acts Fast and a founder and trustee of the charity Talking Forward - a peer support group for families affected by online child sexual abuse. She is a founding member of the national Indirect Victims of Indecent Images of Children Investigations (IVIIC) National Strategic Group - working closely with key agencies to explore policy and practice responses to non-offending partners (NOPs) and children of IIOC offenders.

Rachel has published extensively on the subject of designing out crime, including a sole authored book: Crime Prevention through Housing Design (2013) published by Palgrave Macmillan, and edited collections: Rebuilding Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (2019) published by Routledge, and Retail Crime – International Evidence and Prevention (2018) published by Palgrave Macmillan.

Rachel McKane

Assistant Professor of Sociology, Brandeis University
Rachel McKane is an environmental sociologist with research and teaching interests in environmental justice, spatial inequality, urban political economy, and mutual aid.

Their primary research agenda explores the connection between environmental justice and processes of urban change rooted in racial capitalism, city development, and present and historic housing inequality. This research agenda is driven by a broad set of questions, including: What are the spatial and temporal scales of urban environmental justice struggles? How can multiscalar analyses guide cities towards centering justice in their sustainability efforts? This work applies a critical environmental justice (CEJ) lens to interconnected ecological and urban crises by deepening our understanding of the spatial and temporal scales of environmental justice struggles. Their most recent project explores the environmental legacy of redlining, racially restrictive covenants, and residential segregation.

Professor McKane’s secondary research agenda explores community-based approaches to environmental justice through networks of solidarity and mutual aid. One manuscript, forthcoming at Environmental Justice, brings critical environmental justice into closer conversation with critical disability studies by exploring how disabled communities, predominantly queer, trans, and BIPOC, leverage mutual aid as adaptive strategy to climate change.

After obtaining their PhD from Vanderbilt University, they worked as a postdoctoral research associate at Brown University in the Population Studies and Training Center (PSTC) in the Spatial Structures in the Social Sciences (S4) program on projects pertaining to redlining, housing inequality, and residential segregation. They also contributed to the Longitudinal Tract Data Base (LTDB), a public-use tool that harmonizes spatial boundaries of historic and contemporary data from the U.S. Census.

Professor McKane’s articles appear in Environmental Research Letters, Environmental Justice, Environmental Sociology, Local Environment, Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, Cities, Environmental Politics, Energy Research and Social Science, Social Science History, and Mobilization.

Research Associate - Brexit and UK devolved politics, Cardiff University
I joined the Wales Governance Centre in October 2016 to undertake research into Brexit and UK devolved politics. Building on my background in EU politics and governance, I am now addressing questions surrounding the UK's withdrawal from the EU and the implications this will have for the politics and governance of a post-devolution UK. I'm particularly interested in exploring Brexit from a governance perspective, beyond focusing exclusively on what Brexit will mean in legal terms. I have recently been undertaking research into European networks and what Brexit will mean for UK-based actors who currently participate within these.

Most recent conference presentation: 'Advancing UK agendas through European networks: Agency, opportunity structures and the hidden European Polity', Political Studies Association: Theorising Brexit, 28th March 2018, research with Dr Paul Copeland (Queen Mary University of London)

Prior to joining the Wales Governance Centre, my research focused on EU politics and governance, as part of the Centre for European Law and Governance. From January 2013, I was a Research Associate on the project “Law, Science and Interests in European Policy-making” (LASI), an interdisciplinary research project funded by the European Research Council (PI: Prof. Stijn Smismans). As part of this project, I focused on horizontal governance practices, specifically the Commission's Integrated Impact Assessment, policy evaluation and mainstreaming. I also undertook some sector-specific work for the project, focusing on processes of participation and the use of different types of expertise within European employment policy; including the creation and use of employment indicators.

As a complement to this governance research, I have a particular interest in gender and equality. This research builds largely on my PhD thesis on gender mainstreaming in the EU.
