UoL & XJTLU: PhD students from the University of Liverpool visit the School of Science for cooperation and exchange

14 Aug 2024

In an era marked by rapid scientific advancements and global interconnectedness, the importance of international collaboration in research and education cannot be overstated. This sentiment was vividly embodied during a recent visit on July 26th and 27th, 2024 by a cohort of PhD students in Chemistry from the University of Liverpool (UoL), UK to the School of Science at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU), China.

This visit marked another successful chapter in the ongoing student mobility initiative between our two world renowned partner academic institutions. These initiatives aim to foster and strengthen international collaboration, knowledge exchange, and personal connections among the next generation of researchers.

The visit began with a warm welcome event, setting the tone for two days filled with insightful exchanges and mutual learning. The UoL students had the opportunity to engage with XJTLU PhD students and faculty during a research seminar, where they discussed their current research projects and explored potential avenues for collaboration. The visitors were also given a comprehensive tour of our state-of-the-art labs and the beautiful campus, followed by an excursion to the vibrant Suzhou Center.

The hospitality extended by XJTLU’s PhD students played a crucial role in making the visit memorable and enriching for the UoL PhD students. From the campus tours to cultural excursions in the beautiful city of Suzhou, the visitors experienced the warmth and hospitality of their hosts, forging lasting friendships and connections.

Reflecting on the visit, Corinna Smith from UoL shared, "It was such a valuable experience to come and visit your campus and talk to your PhD students and hear about the interesting research work which is going on in your department! I think it’s extremely important to keep in touch with international contacts and make the most of the links between our two universities. Your PhD students are a credit to your department and I hope to see some over in the UK soon!"

Davide Sella expressed his gratitude, saying, "I really appreciated talking with you and all the other professors, exchanging knowledge, receiving really precious tips and information about a possible future career, and, pleasingly, joking and having a nice time all together. I really enjoyed the time passed with all the PhD students, they were extremely nice and kind. Sharing some time with them was amazing. I would like to thank you for the nice opportunity to visit the School of Science and XJTLU. Again, thanks to all the PhD students, it was a pleasure to meet you all and I hope to see you again."

Tom Abram added, "The visit to XJTLU was a wonderful insight not only into scientific collaboration but also into the wonderful students at the university and the research projects they are passionate about. I hope one day to visit again."

A gathering of PhD students, enjoying Chinese food

Professor John Moraros, Dean, School of Science at XJTLU said: “The success of this visit highlights the potential for expanding these initiatives between our partners at UoL and XJTLU. Strengthening these partnerships through regular exchange programs, joint research projects, and collaborative workshops can further enhance the academic and cultural ties between our two institutions as well as the UK and China.”

Professor Simon Jones, Dean for XJTLU at UoL stated: “Encouraging more students to participate in such exchanges will benefit their individual academic journeys and help contribute to the broader goal of fostering global scientific collaboration. By building on this foundation, UoL and XJTLU can play a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of globally minded scientists and researchers.”

Overall it was a great and memorable experience. This visit helps underscore the importance of the XJTLU-UoL partnership and the value of student mobility in enriching their academic experience. In the School of Science, we look forward to continuing this fruitful collaboration and warmly welcoming more students from UoL to our friendly people and beautiful campus in the future.

How to submit the final version of your PhD thesis

At the end of the examination process all successful PhD and MPhil candidates are required to submit the final version of their thesis to the appropriate College Postgraduate Office.

COVID-19 Update

The requirement for one hard copy thesis to be submitted has been waived during the current circumstances which require remote working for most staff/students. Submission of PhD theses will be electronic only. A signed declaration is not required in the final version when the submission is deposited in Pure. This concession from the regulations about physical thesis submission will continue for the foreseeable future, and will be reviewed by Academic Services once the pandemic is over.

Before you submit your thesis

The University has an expectation that a PhD thesis is a document available for public consultation. As such, unless a legitimate reason for restricting access to the thesis exists, all PhD theses will be made publicly available on the internet via the Edinburgh Research Archive (ERA).

It is highly recommended that you discuss with your primary supervisor the implications of publishing your thesis online in ERA . If your thesis contains confidential or sensitive data it may not be appropriate to make the full text freely available online. Similarly if there is the intention to publish the whole, or extracts from, your thesis you may want to restrict access to the electronic version.

Submitting the PDF version

Go to Pure and log in with your EASE account
Click on the green ‘Add new’ button on the top right and select ‘Doctoral Thesis’, or alternatively click on ‘Student theses’ on the left-hand-side navigation bar followed by ‘Doctoral Thesis’
The record should be auto-populated with most of your thesis award information. Please check for completeness, and add in the title of your thesis in the appropriate box.
Upload your electronic thesis files by clicking on the ‘Add document’ button. If you require an embargo for the PDF add the date and reason in the appropriate boxes. The initial embargo length is one year from date of graduation. The date will be checked by Library staff and changed if a different value is added without permission.
Please remove any signatures, personal postal and email addresses from the PDF version.
Upload your Access to Thesis form alongside your thesis files.
Supplementary data can be added alongside the thesis text. Change the ‘Type’ to ‘Supplementary materials’ and upload the files as described above. The record Visibility needs to be set to ' Backend - Restricted to Pure users '
To finish, set the status to ' Entry in progress ', click the blue ‘Save’ button at the bottom of the screen and the submission is ready for validation by college office staff.

Submitting the final hardbound version is not required

Submission of PhD theses is now electronic only - see the steps above.

Data preservation and sharing

If your thesis has supplementary data (for example images, videos, source code or analytical data) we would like to store a copy of this data alongside the thesis text. We do this to try and preserve the fullest record of the work as possible. Datasets should be supported by good accompanying documentation which is appropriate to your subject discipline. The UK Data Service offers some specialist advice in this area. We do not routinely allow public access to this data; however, if you wish to share your data with others we recommend the Edinburgh DataShare service.

Edinburgh Datashare

If you have a lot of supplementary files - for example lots of images, data in multiple spreadsheets or video formats - we don't recommend depositing them in PURE. Instead, contact the Scholarly Communications Team and we can advise the best way to send them to us.

Redacting material from your thesis

If you wish to make your thesis available to the public to consult, but there are problematic elements that cannot be openly shared then it is possible to submit a redacted version. We typically recommend partial thesis redactions are suitable for the following scenarios:

Third-party copyright

Where third party copyright has not been obtained, students may submit an edited thesis, as an alternative to requesting an embargo.

Sensitive material

If the thesis contains confidential or sensitive information, e.g. transcripts of interviews, which cannot be shared or anonymised.

Photographs

If your thesis contains photographs of people and you do not have their permission to publish their image online.

It is possible to design your thesis in a way which means the problematic material is easy to remove. For example, if you are planning to use a large number of photographs, you could layout your thesis with the photographs in a separate appendix which can be easily removed.

Students who have chosen to submit a redacted version of their thesis would also need to submit a full unedited copy which will be securely kept stored by the Library. This is important to preserve the integrity of the academic record of the University. Both versions of the files should be uploaded to the Thesis Module in Pure with the files clearly named to differentiate between the two. We recommend the following file naming convention:

<Last name><First initial>_<Year>_COMPLETE

<Last name><First initial>_<Year>_REDACTED

e.g. SmithJ_2023_COMPLETE.pdf

Reasons for requesting an embargo period

If the redaction option is not possible then students are permitted to embargo their thesis under certain conditions described below:

Planned publication

Normally a longer embargo period may be granted when there are firm publication plans in place, e.g. where a manuscript has been submitted to a publisher and is in a formal stage of publication (submitted, accepted, in press). Vague plans for publication are not normally accepted.

Commercial confidentiality

There may be contractual restrictions imposed by a sponsor, which could include industrial sponsors or governmental agencies.

Patent application

Patent applications can be rejected by the premature publication of research. Where the research might lead to a commercial application or patent then we recommend that the Intellectual Property needs to be protected.

Contains personal data

Where a thesis contains personally identifiable or ethically sensitive data or where material obtained in the thesis was obtained under a guarantee of confidentiality we would consider placing an embargo. These issues should have been addressed at an early stage of the research project.

Where third party copyright has not been obtained, students may submit an edited thesis, as an alternative to requesting an embargo. They would also need to submit an unedited hard copy which will be secured kept.

Publication could endanger health and safety or prejudice national security

The thesis contains sensitive material (political or otherwise) which could put at risk the authors or participants if made openly available. These issues should have been addressed at an early stage of the research project.

How to request a Thesis Restriction

How to request a 12 month embargo.

You can restrict access to the electronic version of your thesis for one year without any special permissions. If an embargo is required, this must be indicated on the Access to Thesis form, otherwise, the thesis may be made publicly available. This form should be deposited in Pure alongside the full text of the thesis.

At the end of the embargo period, the University is under no obligation to contact you about extending the period of restriction. If towards the end of your embargo period you have any concerns that the forthcoming public availability of your thesis would be problematic please contact the Library ( [email protected] ) and the Scholarly Communications Team will be able to help.

Embargo requests longer than 12 months

Requests for embargoes that exceed 12 months starting from the date the work is added to the Library’s collection require Head of School approval and must be accompanied by a clear rationale as to why a longer period is required. Complete Section 2 of the Access to a Thesis form to request an extended embargo. Extended embargoes beyond five years will not normally be approved unless there are very exceptional reasons. Normally any relevant evidence to support a request for an extended embargo should be attached to the request, e.g. publishing contract or correspondence from industrial sponsors.

"Unsettling the Norms of Academic Research"

Sheneez is currently working on a project that critically examines the normative methods of academic research practices and their epistemological and philosophical roots in European colonial and imperial pasts. The aim of Sheneez's research is to question that which we take for granted within our universities as "valid" knowledge and "valid" knowledge production processes. As a student of Latin American Studies from undergraduate through to PhD, Sheneez's work has a particular angle of critiquing, or "unsettling" (Wynter, 2008), the coloniality of Latin American Studies courses in Europe and the coloniality of much of the research on Latin America that is produced here (although Sheneez’s reflections comment upon mainstream academic research cultures in general). Sheneez is particularly interested in Sylvia Wynter's many philosophical contributions and reflections on the "intellectual struggle" and how academics/researchers must direct our work towards "undoing the narratively condemned status" of the world's most oppressed people (Wynter, 1994).”

More recently, Christina has completed an MRes in Italian Studies at the University of Liverpool, conducting a sociolinguistics project entitled: Family Language Policy in Italian Transnational Families in the UK: Parental Ideologies and Language Management Challenges.

Outside academia, Christina has taught English for Academic Purposes in UK universities including UCL Institute of Education, Coventry University London and Liverpool John Moores University.

Research Interests

Family Language Policy in Arabic-speaking Immigrant and Refugee Families in Greece: An Exploration of Parental Ideologies and Identity Formation.

In her research, Christina investigates Family Language Policy (FLP) in Arabic-speaking immigrant and refugee families that have arrived in Greece post-2015 as a result of the political unrest in the Middle East. The investigation focuses on how the migratory experiences of the parents have influenced their linguistic practices and the ethnolinguistic identity of their children highlighting the complexities that parents and their children face in transnational spaces. Qualitative research methods will be employed to study the linguistic practices and language ideologies of the participants including sociolinguistic questionnaires, observations, and interviews. This sociolinguistic study aims at expanding the theoretical development of the sociolinguistics of globalisation and transnational approaches to the study of FLP among immigrant families. Christina’s objective is to influence current discourses on migration in Greece and inform policy making.

Christina’s wider research interests include language attitudes and ideologies, language politics, transnationalism, and immigration.

Michelle Buras-Stubbs

[email protected]

Michele’s first degree was in Medieval and Modern Languages from the University of Oxford in 1983. She then completed a Post Graduate Certificate for Education, again at the University of Oxford. She subsequently spent most of her working life in secondary education culminating in the roles of Secondary Headteacher, Ofsted Inspector and Education Consultant. In 1994, while working full time, she obtained a MBA Distinction from the University of Keele. In 2017 she returned to academia and completed a MRes in Modern Languages and Cultures (French Studies) at the University of Liverpool for which she obtained a Distinction. Her dissertation explored the representations of Saracen warriors from a chivalric perspective in two late-medieval French texts from the Library of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy: the account of the battle of Nicopolis in Book IV of Froissart’s Chroniques , and the anonymous mise en prose , Saladin.

Following the successful completion of her MRes, Michele started her PhD at the University of Liverpool in April 2019.

An exploration of the reflexive and determining nature of the interrelationship between crusader and Saracen identities as represented in French texts acquired or commissioned by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, and members of his court.

Michele’s research examines the reciprocal nature of the identities of Saracen and crusader as represented in works from the libraries of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, and members of his court.

Late-medieval representations of Saracen warriors have at their heart a deep ambiguity. The existence of a threatening or oppressive Saracen – militarily, politically, theologically - is a pre-requisite for crusade; the nature of the medieval Christian crusader’s perception of his Saracen opponent helps determine both the shape and legitimacy of the crusader’s own identity. The very secular qualities, however, which underpin the chivalric and courtly aspirations of the crusader as applied to himself, provide an uncomfortable dislocation from a dogmatically deviant image, when applied to a cultured, and economically and militarily successful, infidel opponent.

The court of Philip the Good provides a nexus for the exploration of the reflexive and determining nature of the interrelationship between crusader and Saracen identities. The concept of crusade preoccupied Philip both practically and ideologically throughout his adult life. He sought to position himself politically as a powerful leader willing to lead Christendom into a battle against the infidels, whilst seeking to underpin his actions with an intellectual rationale. As a cultured bibliophile, he acquired and commissioned an extensive collection of manuscripts. The crusade-related texts within his library, and those of members of his court, offer a key to the interplay between contemporary perceptions of Saracen opponents and their impact on the self-perceptions of members of the Burgundian court as crusaders.

Michele’s research offers a fresh perspective to existing scholarship on late medieval French crusading literature; it also has great relevance within the current global climate of tension between Western and Islamic politics and ideologies. It seeks to provide both a realignment of focus on representations of the past (albeit themselves presented through the prism of literary interpretation) and to offer a model for comparison with contemporary post-colonial twenty-first-century ambiguities and tensions within Western and Islamic relationships.

I completed a BA in English Language (2017), and an MA in Linguistics (2020), both at The University of Manchester. Before beginning my PhD research, I was working as Research Assistant on the Multilingual Manchester project at the University of Manchester, carrying out sociolinguistic research on different aspects of urban multilingualism in the City of Manchester. Other university-based roles I have held have been in Research Administration and Outreach/Widening Participation, and outside of the university setting, teaching English as a foreign language (both in the UK and overseas).

My PhD project focuses on multilingualism, language provisions and language maintenance across online and offline spaces, with a focus on the city of Liverpool. I am carrying out a case study on Polish language practices across the city, and the role that social media plays in the maintenance of Polish language and the formation of language policies.

Portuguese L anguage S pread : a n a nalysis of the relationships among policies of Portuguese language promotion

After achieving a bachelor’s degree with Honours at the University of Turin (Italy) with the dissertation Antonio Tabucchi: postmodern kaleidoscope. The last three days of Fernando Pessoa , I completed a master’s degree with Honours at the University of Bologna (Italy) with the dissertation Portuguese Language in Brazilian language policies supervised by Dr Roberto Mulinacci and Dr Carlos Alberto Faraco ( University of Paraná , Brazil).

During the studies, I participated in competitive exchange programs and I achieved the opportunity to study at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Lisbon, Portugal) for one year and at the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (Florianópolis, Brazil) for six months where I contributed to the organization of the VII International Meeting of Language policy researchers.

I am currently a member of the Associação Internacional de Lusitanistas and the Society for Latin American Studies.

Outside academia, I have been passionately involved in language teaching as a Portuguese and Italian language Tutor for public and private institutions.

The research project positions itself in the interdisciplinary field of language policy studi es. It will be originally aiming at gaining a deep understanding of the policies of international promotion of the Portuguese language formulated by Portugal, Brazil, and the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP).

The starting point of this research is a strong personal interest in the Portuguese language and in the postcolonial political relationship s existing among the nine official Portuguese - speaking countries around the world. Th e research will benefit from a transdisciplinary analysis and data will be collected through a mix of qualitative methods.

Gender, Race, Emotions and Text-Image Relations in Fifteenth-Century Burgundian Prose Epics and Chronicles

In 2019, I graduated with a First-Class BA (Hons) in French and Spanish from St Hilda's College at the University of Oxford, before spending a year teaching these languages at an international boarding school.

I then undertook an MA Medieval Studies at the University of Leeds, graduating with a Distinction. Under the supervision of Professor Rosalind Brown-Grant, I wrote a dissertation entitled 'Emotions and Gender in Berte as grans piés and L’Histoire de la Reine Berthe et du Roy Pepin ’.

I arrived at Liverpool in October 2021, and am carrying out a PhD in French under the supervision of Dr Rebecca Dixon and Dr Pollie Bromilow.

My current research is in the field of the History of Emotions, in particular in the later prose texts produced at the court of Philip the Good of Burgundy (r. 1419-1467). These are versions of verse texts from earlier centuries, reworked for a fifteenth-century Burgundian audience, which often took the form of lavishly illuminated manuscripts, so my research also focuses on text/image relations. I am interested in French epics and chronicles from across the Middle Ages, especially texts that deal with the themes of crusading, cross-cultural relations, and the identity categories of gender, race and religion.

My PhD is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) via the North West Consortium Doctoral Training Partnership (NWCDTP).

Erika Drummond

[email protected]

Erika achieved her BA in Latin American studies during her time at the University of Liverpool. She then recieved an ESRC scholarship to commence her MRes and PhD relating to her interests in Mexico and Guatemala.

Outside of her studies, Erika has spent a lot of time researching in Guatemala and interacting with local communities there.

"Maternal mortality, reproductive risk, and obstetric violence: the pregnancy and childbirth experiences of the ‘otherised’ women in Guatemala"

Erika's research focuses on how Guatemalan women’s maternal health and child-birthing experiences reflect deep rooted processes of socio-cultural discrimination and gender based violence, which undermine their health and wellbeing. Previously, her research has emphasised the ways in which maternal mortality in Guatemala has made the conversation around childbirth incredibly emotive and politically charged in ways which have ‘otherised’ women and midwives, and reinvigorated social hierarchies within the health care setting. However, since beginning fieldwork in August 2017, rather than emphasising the ‘marginality’ of midwives, Erika's focus has been on highlighting the crucially political role that they play in their communities. This aspect of her work thus seeks to explore the very relevant position that midwives occupy in present day Guatemala, and how their work provides invaluable emotional and physical support for impoverished women, in ways which are culturally empowering to themselves, their patients and their communities.

I am a Postgraduate Researcher and Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of Liverpool, who fuses together a Spanish Golden Age literary phenomenon known as the picaresque, with modern-day Spanish national identity in times of political and socioeconomic crisis and corruption through exploring the shift in the lexical metamorphism of the term "picaresque" throughout key transitional moments past and present.

As of July 2022, I successfully passed my 30,000-word thesis and viva voce exam to be awarded a Master of Arts (MA) by Research in Spanish Literature through the University of Leeds. Prior to this, I graduated from the University of Exeter in 2017 with a BA (Hons) in Spanish and Italian with proficiency in Portuguese after also having completed a year abroad split between Salamanca, Spain and Venice, Italy.

I actively look for opportunities where I can disseminate my research, having presented at several conferences including Oxford University’s CLSG 2021 conference; with a subsequent publication in CLSG’s The Glass Academic Journal to follow, Leeds’ LCS Postgraduate Conference, Durham Castle’s 2021 conference and the 2021 CELPYC virtual conference.

Louise Evans

[email protected]

Louise earned both her BA in English & Hispanic Studies, and her MRes in Hispanic Studies, at University of Liverpool. Her MRes focused on the ways in which Spanish Instagram poetry (Instapoesía) is changing the face of contemporary literature through certain linguistic and visual changes afforded by the digital medium. Through analysis of a shorter, more concise style and the permeation of ‘el lenguaje informático,’ her research examined the ways in which contemporary digital poetry is changing not only the role of the reader, but the ‘acto de observar’ itself (Vilariño Picos: 2013).

Outside of her studies, Louise works as a Spanish Advisor for the University’s Language Lounge, assisting students by providing grammatical and conversational sessions. She is also learning French through the University’s Continuing Education department. She often writes about poetry published through social media (albeit in the Anglophone context) for monthly Brizo Magazine.

" ‘Tu cuerpo en verso:’ the representation of sexuality, (modern) relationships and the female body in Spanish Instagram poetry."

Not only to advertise but to publish their own poetry, a new generation of Spanish poets is transforming the art form by claiming digital media as its writing space. During his Peers Annual Lecture at the University of Liverpool in 2017, the great poeta de la experiencia Luis García Montero contemplated how Spanish lyricists are beginning to write with great entity, searching for ‘their own space.’ This ‘new space’ is allowing this phenomenon to become the most accessible form of literature in contemporary Hispanic consciousness, something which is making Maher ‘excited about [the trend’s] new capacity for poets to build something… toward larger change’ (2018).

This multi-faceted, virtual environment becomes a useful site to project societal concerns, rather than an online environment whose purpose is confined solely to the field of self-expression. Employing post-feminist and digital media critical theory (Kinnahan, 2005, Dobson, 2015 & Jackson, 2018) Louise’s research will aim to articulate the complexities of a feminine subject position in a Spanish, digital society.

Ultimately, acknowledging this genre of poetry as a valid part of literary culture in a broad sense, is beneficial as it ‘develop[s] an understanding of the literary that is adequate to the digital age because it takes into account the multiplicities and convergences of contemporary media culture’ (Schaefer, 2015: 179). The linguistic and visual representations of modern relationships and the female body through digital poetry address contemporary identity issues, whilst reworking or reclaiming traditional and historical poetic styles. Particularly salient to the research group ‘Media Histories: from Manuscript to Digital,’ at University of Liverpool, Louise’s project will charter a literary trajectory that is socially, culturally and intellectually relevant to the academic discourse of today.

" Ahizpatasuna, Sororidad, Sisterhood: Embodied Entanglements of Iberian Feminisms and Transnational Socio-Political Claims in the Redefinition of Contemporary Political Agency - An Ethnography of Resistance, Othering and Belonging"

In this comparative approach, the researcher will follow the newly added and resurfaced initiatives in contemporary Basque/Iberian feminist activism, particularly as expressed after women’s general strike on 8 th March 2018. This unprecedented coming together of the 8M Huelga/Greba, shortly followed by equally impressive demonstrations against the judiciary treatment of the Pamplona rape case of the male group calling themselves ‘La Manada’ in April 2018, suggested a new era in political reconfigurations. This paradigm shift was put forward by women and non-binary people in every major town in Spain and in the Basque Country, but also transnationally, including Latin America as well as the UK. In both cases, the enormous mobilisation brought together women and non-binary people from different backgrounds and political identifications under a unified feminist banner against systemic oppression and gender-based violence, redefining the political and its priorities in public discourse through the lens of their feminism and beyond national boundaries. Feminist activists in local and international groups aligned their specific interests to wider agendas, through solidarity against violence, illegal abortions, exploitation under neoliberal capitalism, and the rise of fascist, xenophobic discourse. Through the lens of a phenomenological paradigm, with its emphasis on corporeal and subjective lived experiences, combined with the multimodality of visual and digital anthropology, and applying sensuous ethnography, this project will trace the identifications and creative operations of feminist activists in initiatives that transform the notion of the ‘political’ and its resistance potential as advocated in these feminisms.

Tom graduated from the University of Bangor with a BA (MArts) History and Archaeology in 2016 and went on to complete a Documentary Filmmaking MA at John Moore’s University in 2018.

"Sinistro o spettacolo: A re-evaluation of the critical response to poliziotteschi."

In his research, Tom aims to analyse and re-evaluate the critical reaction to poliziotteschi films by analysing reviews and articles in Italian newspapers, magazines, fanzines and journals during the initial release of the films in the 1970s to now. This re-evaluation will allow for a deeper understanding of the critic response to these films than currently understood in modern discourse, in which discussions of the critic reaction to this filone are often over-simplified due to a lack of current research on this topic.

After careers in marketing and book publishing, I completed an MA in Understanding and Securing Human Rights at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies (School of Advanced Study, University of London) in 2015, during which time I also interned as a research assistant at the Human Rights Consortium. I completed an MRes in Social Research at University of Liverpool in September 2018 as part of the ESRC funded NWSSDTC 1+3 research pathway, moving on to begin my PhD research in October 2018. I was also Vice President of the Postgraduates in Latin American Studies (PILAS) Committee 2017/18 responsible for delivering the PILAS Annual Conference at University of Liverpool in June 2018. I live and work in London.

I research and deliver guest lectures to both BA and MA students on the subject of Sustainable Development in Latin America and my particular research focus is in the area of natural resource governance, socio-environmental conflicts and the green energy transition. I have published articles on environmental governance in Brazil and the Amazon fires as ecocide (2020), environmental governance, sustainable development and oil in Ecuador (2017), as well as on Nicaragua's Grand Canal Project (2018).

"Social Understandings of the ‘Ecological Transition’ and the contested politics of Renewable Energy and Natural Resource Exploitation in Ecuador"

This research will explore attempts to diversify Ecuador’s energy matrix away from traditional fossil fuels, focusing specifically on the promotion of renewable energy projects in the country. The research is interview-based and will be conducted initially online from the UK, and also during a fieldwork trip to Ecuador, to allow for empirical data collected from local communities and people connected to energy projects, including NGO, industry, company and government representatives at the national and local level), as well as commentators on the energy transition in Ecuador and Latin America

The research aims to understand how renewable projects redefine the political landscapes and social understandings of sustainable energy development at the national and local level, and what this reveals about the localisation of debates surrounding natural resource exploitation and governance within global sustainable development and climate mitigation policies. It aims to bring a discussion of renewable energy projects to the academic debates surrounding socio-environmental conflicts and natural resource governance in Latin America, within the context of international governance agendas of sustainable development in the context of the post pandemic green recovery, negotiated within varied power dynamics at the international, national and local level.

Jemima Paine

Jemima Paine is a first-year PhD candidate in French working under the supervision of Prof Charles Forsdick and Dr Lisa Shaw.

Before starting at Liverpool, I completed a Bachelor degree in English and French and a Master of Studies in French at the University of Oxford. For the latter, I completed a dissertation entitled ‘Poet’s Corner: Black verse in the periodicals of Paris and Harlem, 1917-1934’ under the supervision of Profs Jane Hiddleston and Lloyd Pratt. This MSt study forms the basis of my current doctoral project.

My doctoral research centres on the poetry published in US and Francophone periodicals during the early twentieth century. Periodicals provided a unique locus for black verse during the New Negro Renaissance and Négritude movement, placing poetry in dialogue with editorials, articles and alternative art forms.

For this project, I aim to stage an internal reading of the poetry whilst paying close attention to how material properties of the periodical and its transnational circulation altered perceptions of the notions of black identity expressed therein.

“Imagining 'another' education: re-humanising education with a critical decolonial horizon."

I have a BA in Translating and Interpreting from the Universidad del País Vasco, where I am originally from. I moved to Liverpool in 2008 where I became interested in education and became a Modern Languages teacher after gaining a PGCE in Secondary at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU).

I have taught Spanish and French both at primary and secondary level first in the UK and then abroad for 10 years. When returning to the UK, I decided to go back to university and gained an MA in Education, Globalisation and Social Change at LJMU.

This was a turning point in my career as I then moved on to University of Liverpool to pursue further postgraduate studies in the area of Latin American Studies, from where I have now gained an MRes in Latin American studies.

I am interested in imagining another type of education that is radically human (Fanon, 1961: Wynter, 2003; 2015).

Inspired by Sylvia Wynter's theory of the human and her conception of historical discourse organised by a series of epistemic breaks (2000;2003), my project aims to interrogate the validity of Western philosophical thought, humanism and knowledge as universal and investigate the implication of this in knowledge production, education institutions and the epistemologies they uphold. This intends to provide a deeper understanding of how the dehumanisation in perpetuated by educational processes and institutions.

In addition, my project also has an action research approach as it aims to explore existing alternative educational experiences (specifically in Latin America, but not necessarily limited to the region) that are unsettling the de-humanising effects of hegemonic Western epistemologies and knowledge production and the education system that uphold them. Engaging with existing alternative educational experiences will encourage critical reflection on the conditions of possibility and constraints on radically re-humanising education provisions and how to potentially create collective spaces to imagine ‘others’ anew.

The starting point of this research project is inspired by my own frustrated experience as a teacher as I was witness to what I consider to be a crisis in education. I believe it is critical for educators to continue engaging in and thinking new ways to re-humanise education. My main argument is that although it is undeniable that education has had and continues to have a key role in the dehumanisation of humanity, it is also exactly because of the powerful nature of this, that educational spaces hold a huge potential in which teaching can be done to transgress (hooks, 1994) in order to unsettle the coloniality of knowledge and power (Wynter, 2003). This is where I position myself. My intention is for my research journey to be a contribution to the type of scholarship that imagines, rethinks, and seeks another type of education.
