Samuel is an ESRC funded doctoral researcher based in the Sussex Centre for the Study of Corruption (SCSC) interested in party funding regimes and corruption in Western Europe.
His thesis is titled: Party Funding Regimes and Corruption: Linkages, Relationships and Trends.
The research is a comparative study of three advanced democracies in Western Europe (Denmark, France and the UK) and investigates whether a certain type of party funding regime (e.g. public or private funding) leads to the prevalence of a certain type of corruption.
There has been little research - academic or otherwise - which attempts to investigate these linkages, the hypothesis is that certain types of party funding regime are not necessarily more corrupt than other types; but that perhaps different types of corruption occur in different types of party funding regime. It is important to understand more about how democracy is funded and how that might lead to specific types of corrupt practices.

Lecturer in Criminology, Aberystwyth University
Sam is a senior lecturer at Aberystwyth. She specialises in miscarriages of justice, media portrayal of victims and the more general experiences of victims of crime, including victims of animal abuse, farm crime, rural crime and wildlife crime.
Sam's primary area of research is miscarriages of justice and she has published extensively within this field. Her most recent research for her PhD thesis, entitled 'Watchdogs of the wrongly convicted: the role of the media in revealing miscarriages of justice', investigated the role of journalists in revealing wrongful convictions in England and Wales from the 1960s through to the present day.
Sam's research in this area, is in part driven by Walker and Starmer's (2002) rights-based theory of miscarriages of justice, (thereby adopting a broad definition of the phenomenon to include, not only wrongful convictions, but many other forms, including failures on the part of the CJS to act/ 'do enough' in criminal cases). It is also driven by the notion that victims of miscarriages of justice are 'voiceless victims'. This focus, has more recently led to her increasing interest in another, much neglected group of 'victims', namely victims of animal abuse, wildlife crime, farm crime and rural crime in England and Wales.

My current research focuses on developing and advancing environmental DNA (eDNA) research, as an emerging approach to studying cryptic or endangered species, and as a broadly applicable approach to biodiversity assessment and biomonitoring. I am a highly inquisitive and enthusiastic person, and am driven to pursue novel ideas and innovative approaches to answering questions and solving problems. I believe that my eDNA research is at the forefront of conservation genetics research in South Africa, and has the potential to revolutionise conservation science and practice.

Associate Professor of Art History, Wayne State University
Samantha A. Noël is an Associate Professor of Art History and the Hawkins Ferry Endowed Chair in Modern and Contemporary Art at Wayne State University. She received her B.A. in Fine Art from Brooklyn College, C.U.N.Y., and her M.A. and Ph.D. in Art History from Duke University. Her research interests revolve around the history of art, visual culture and performance of the Black Diaspora. She has published on Black modern and contemporary art and performance in journals such as Small Axe, Third Text and Art Journal and has articles forthcoming in the journals October, Latin American and Latinx Visual Culture, and Third Text. Noël has also contributed essays to exhibition catalogues as well as chapters to the following edited volumes: Carnival is Women: Feminism and Performance in Caribbean Mas’ and Transnational Belonging and Female Agency in the Arts.
Noël’s book, Tropical Aesthetics of Black Modernism (Duke University Press, 2021), offers a thorough investigation of how Caribbean and American artists of the early twentieth century were responding to the colonial and hegemonic regimes through visual and performative tropicalist representation. It privileges the land and how a sense of place is critical in the identity formation of early twentieth-century artists as well as their creative processes. By proposing an alternative understanding of the tropics, this book demonstrates how Aaron Douglas, Wifredo Lam, Josephine Baker, Maya Angelou, and some masqueraders and designers of Trinidad Carnival effectively contributed to the development of Black modernity, and even Black sonic modernity.
Noël is working on a second book tentatively titled Diasporic Art in the Age of Black Power. This book seeks to examine the impact of the Black Power Movement on visual art as it emerged in the political, historical, and social contexts of the United States of America and the Anglophone Caribbean in the 1960s and 1970s. In particular, it aims to identify instances in which the iterations of the Third World Left in the United States and the Caribbean crossed paths and determined a need for internationalism in black creative expression during the 1960s and 1970s that worked in tandem with the political radicalism of that era.
Noël was the 2021-2022 Smithsonian Terra Foundation Senior Fellow in American Art at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Her research has also been supported by the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the Moreau Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Notre Dame. At Wayne State, Noël has received the College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts Faculty Creative/Research Award, the Wayne State University Humanities Center Faculty Fellowship, the Wayne State University Office of the Provost’s University Research Grant, and the 2023 Arts and Humanities Research Support Award from the Office of the Vice President for Research.
