Ioanna joined the University of Hertfordshire as a postdoctoral Research Fellow in 2017, after completing her PhD at the University of East Anglia with an EU Marie Curie Early Stage Research Fellowship. She received a BSc in Psychology from the University of Crete and a MSc in Cognitive Psychology and Neuropsychology from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece.

Ioanna’s main research interests focus on patterns of convergent and divergent changes occurring in various cognitive systems (i.e., memory, visuospatial abilities, language) across the adult-lifespan and in neurological disorders. 

Another area of research has been the long-term effects of early-life experiences (i.e., stress) on brain plasticity, visuospatial abilities and behavioural manifestations after neurological insults, using animal models.

My research interests focus on the opertions of large corporations. I am particularly interested in how firms' behaviour has changed in a financialised setting. I have studied large South African conglomerates, Dow Jones companies and am currently investigating the DAX 30 firms.

My expertise centers on finance, financialisation and development.

Danni is a palaeo-glaciologist whose research involves reconstructing glacier dynamics, over the last 25,000 years, in order to contextualise present day changes. She uses a combination of field data (landforms, sediments, peat/lake coring), numerical dating (14C) and modelling.

​Her work predominantly focuses on glaciation,during periods of abrupt climate change,in the pan-North Atlantic. However, more recently, research has focused on reconstructing Greenlandic tidewater glaciers over the last millennium. She also has a broader interest in; GIS, natural hazards such a glacier-capped volcanoes and Norse adaptation to climate change.

After a degree in Microbiology from King’s College London and MPhil from the Horticultural Research International/Univ. of Westminster in the molecular biology of Bacillus thuringiensis and the use of natural gene transfer systems, Jameel then worked in vaccine development for his PhD, where he also gained experience of working with ACDP category 3 pathogens, at the Centre for Applied Microbiology and Research at Porton Down; this was part of the Public Health Laboratory Service, (now the Health Protection Agency).

He had two W.H.O. fellowships in the Immunology Unit, at the Dept. of Medical Parasitology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, continuing his work in vaccinology, applied to the human Schistosoma parasite. He then worked for one year as a Research Assistant at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (UCL-Middlesex branch), working in the lab of Prof. Mike Waterfield on PI3 kinase signalling. During his second period at LSHTM he discovered a new complement regulatory protein receptor in the Schistosoma parasite and went on with funding from the Sir Halley Stewart Trust to characterise this together with Prof. Bob Sim at the MRC Immunochemistry Unit, Univ. of Oxford.

From 2000, he continued for the next five years his research in complement regulation as a Senior Research Fellow, at the University Hospital Basel, Switzerland, in the Dept. of Biomedicine. With funding from the Research Foundations of Roche and Novartis and capital venture funding, his team, with help from Innogenetics NV in Belgium, developed  a synthetic peptide, able to therapeutically inhibit complement-mediated inflammation in vivo.

In 2005 Jameel returned to London, as a Senior Lecturer at London Met. Two years on he was made Professor of Immunology. In late 2007 he started his first experiments on microvesicles, from a preliminary interest in their ability to inhibit complement activation. In January 2009 he founded the Cellular and Molecular Immunology Research Centre, or CMIRC and is now a founding member of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles, on the editorial panel of the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, and Scientific Reports and has hosted ‘Microvesiculation and Disease,’ the second such meeting in the UK, in September 2012. Since 2010, Jameel has published 24 papers and one book chapter in this new field.

In December 2017 Jameel moved as the Professor of Biomedical Science to the School of Life and Medical Sciences at the University of Hertfordshire to head the Biosciences Research Group. He has supervised 10 PhDs to completion and his main current funding comes from the IAPP project ’EVEStemInjury’ which is part of an EU consortium to use stem cell microvesicles to ameliorate acute kidney injury.

I am a practicing artist. I also write theory of art, focusing on the role and value of art in society.

I spent 9 years working with anthropologists, and a few archaeologists at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Cambridge (2009-2018) and also at the Museum Volkenkunde (Leiden Netherlands).

My scholarly (meaning written, academic) work describes the discipline of art, the type of knowledge that art produces, the role of art in democracy, and also the ethics of inter- and multi-disciplinary work with artists.

In addition to writing scholarly books and articles, I write fiction as one of many approaches to making art. I also have done performances, made paintings, curated exhibitions, faciliated participatory interventions and made sound work.

Art as a Knowledge-forming Discipline   |   History of Colonialism |   History and Theory ofModern &Contemporary Art   |   Philosophy-Aesthetics   |   Museums Practice and Curating   |   Ethnography-Anthropology   |   The effect ofNeoliberalism on Art   |   Indigenous Representation and Politics   |   Ecology: both the science and the politics

The monograph I am currently working on is called 'Between Discipline and a Hard Place' (Bloomsbury), in which I argue that artists and artists alone should define art - not audiences, critics, historians, governments or the market.

I also argue that art produces knowledge akin to any other knowledge-forming discipline -  that art IS a discipline - and that art is not simply the equivalent of creativity. Because art is a discipline art practice requires education (albeit not necessarily a university education).

In addition to writing theory as an artist, I also conduct research through my art practice.
One area I investigated is the question of repatriation and belonging of both people and things.
Another is the colonial entanglements of West Papua, which is currently occupied - brutally - by Indonesia and formerly by the Dutch.
And the history Fiji, myths of cannibalism, and particularly the perpetuation of 'cannibal myths' through ethnographic artefacts, such as the Fijian 'cannibal fork'.

My PhD was in art as a democratic act, so I guess I should mention that here as well...

I joined the University of Hertfordshire in November 2017, as a Lecturer in Nutrition and Dietetics. I am also the undergraduate Admissions Tutor for BSc (Hons) Dietetics, and Module Lead for Research Methods in Nutrition. Prior to joining UH, I worked in the health and nutrition components of humanitarian response projects, and conducted epidemiological research on the dietary behaviours associated with long-term weight loss maintenance during my doctorate studies.

I am Clinical Tutor/Senior Lecturer working on the DClinPsy UH programme. Since qualifying from UCL in 2009 I have worked clinically in memory services in both young-onset and older age dementia and more latterly within physical health settings. My particular area of interest is in working with people living with HIV and working within a Narrative Therapy approach, understanding the relationship between HIV, cognition and ageing and increasing accessibility in terms of having helpful conversations when people need them. 

Interests and intersectionality include:

Employment Relations

Comparative HRM

International HRM

Labour Markets

Employability

Community Wealth Building
