Lesley Speed
Senior Lecturer in media and screen studies, Federation University Australia
Lesley is a Senior Lecturer and researcher in media and screen studies. She has taught units in digital literacy, media studies, screen studies, adaptation studies, communication and cultural studies, and interdisciplinary Honours courses, as well as supervising research students from Honours to PhD level. Before teaching at Federation University and the University of Ballarat, she taught at La Trobe University, the University of Melbourne and three campuses of Monash University.
This wide range of experience is reflected in Lesley’s research, which is published in Australia and internationally and cited in many countries and various languages. Her research is required reading in tertiary courses internationally. Her publications include the books Clueless: American Youth in the 1990s and Australian Comedy Films of the 1930s: Modernity, the Urban and the International. Lesley has been a Scholar in Residence at the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia, a peer reviewer for many journals and publishers in and outside Australia, and a judge in the ATOM (Australian Teachers of Media) Awards.
Lesley’s work includes an emphasis on popular screen texts, extending to digital media, independent screen media, comedy, popular genres and genre-mixing. Her research often centres on social aspects of screen texts, including their relationships to socio-historical contexts, public discourse and shifting ideas about youth, adulthood and everyday life. Her major research projects have focused on comedy and youth culture. However, the ideas underpinning her research are often as much about relationships between screen texts and society as they are about specific platforms, formats or genres. Lesley has pursued research interests in screen comedy; cultural value in relation to popular culture; and social and spatial aspects of screen texts. These interests can be found, individually or in intersecting ways, in her research publications about topics from teen films to early cinema, screen comedy to video games.

Leslie Mabon
Lecturer in Environmental Systems, The Open University
I'm a Lecturer in Environmental Systems in the School of Engineering and Innovation at the Open University. I am an Associate Member of the First Minister's Environmental Council in Scotland, and am a Future Earth Coasts Fellow as well as a former European Crucible participant. I'm also on the Editorial Board for the journal Sustainability Science.
The big question I’m interested in is: whose knowledge counts – and why – within environmental management and policy? I explore these issues through three sub-areas of research:
(a) climate change adaptation governance at the city or regional scale, especially the integration of equity and justice concerns within techncially-led processes for climate risk reduction;
(b) risk, environmental infrastructure and the coastal and marine environment. I am especially interested in how environmental change may impact upon socially and culturally meaningful activities, and what the effects of this may be;
(c) ‘just transitions’ for high-emitting and carbon-intensive regions, where climate imperatives may have to be balanced with local concerns over employment and economic sustainability.
My research has been funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, the British Academy, the Wellcome Trust, the Japan Foundation, and the Royal Society of Edinburgh among others. Outputs from my work on environmental policy and governance have been published in journals including Landscape and Urban Planning, Global Environmental Change, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and World Development.
I'm also a big fan of football, and support Raith Rovers in Scotland. My enthusiasm for football has recently led me to expand my research interests into understanding what climate change means for football.

Despite publishing research pertaining to the cervical spine, my true passion lies within the assessment and treatment of overuse injuries in endurance athletes. As a distance runner, I am ideally positioned to understand both the physical demands and competitive mindset amongst my fellow runners, of all shapes and sizes. Through combining my current research in human movement with my passion for running, I am able to offer a greater insight into identifying and fixing the underlying cause(s) of injury, rather than simply treating the symptoms. This is the essence of successfully managing running-related injuries.

Lewis Kellett
Doctoral Researcher in Cinema, Sheffield Hallam University
My doctoral research focuses on the representation and construction of youth in 21st-century British social realist cinema. Many realist films in the last twenty years have youth as a significant theme in their narrative. Through textual analysis and selected case studies, such as Sweet Sixteen (2002), This is England (2006), Fish Tank (2009), My Selfish Giant (2013) and more recently Rocks (2020), I analyse concepts of identity, class, gender and race. I consider my study of youth in British social realist cinema an important opening to wider issues about societal understanding of young people and the ‘specific moment’ in their life trajectory. The films bring up through the characters’ voice these ‘specific moments’ and challenge preconceived ideas about youth.
I have a long-standing personal interest in this topic that combines my previous studies, my passion for British cinema, and my experience of working with young people across different sectors of education. Social Realism is a genre that is known for its ability to frame and position its characters in the cultural and political context from which they stem. This research will add to the literature on how youth is constructed and represented in 21st century British social realism and provide an insight into how films in the British realism mode of filmmaking produce alternative articulations of youth.
