Dr Morag Morrison-Helme
Director of Studies in Education
Education
Arts Education: Applied Theatre practice and pedagogy, Teacher Education and Professional Development.
I am a lecturer in the Faculty of Education where I teach on the Undergraduate Tripos track Education, English, Drama and the Arts, and I Coordinate the MPhil Postgraduate thematic route, Arts, Creativity and Education. My research interests centre on Applied Arts pedagogies to support, reflective practice, democratic learning and conflict management in cross-disciplinary and cross-professional contexts. I have an Erasmus exchange position with the University of Gothenburg, Sweden where I collaborate with colleagues teaching and researching the use of Applied Theatre practices in Medical and Health Care Professional Development. My Tripos teaching centres on the Part II papers Research and Investigation and Performance, Education and Society.

Dr Jules O'Dwyer
Modern and Medieval Languages
Jules O’Dwyer works primarily on contemporary French film and thought. His doctoral work addresses interrelated questions of spatiality and sexuality, with a focus on the work of Jacques Nolot, Vincent Dieutre and Alain Guiraudie. His publications have looked at a range of theoretical paradigms—including object-oriented thought, apparatus theory, and questions of intertextuality and stardom—through the lens of French film, ranging from 1950s ethnographic film to recent queer cinema.

Dr Anna Plumridge
English
My primary interests are in textual scholarship and colonial and postcolonial literatures. My research so far has focused on writing produced under colonial rule in Australasia.
My first publication was a scholarly edition of the ‘Urewera Notebook’, a journal kept by Katherine Mansfield while camping in the central North Island of New Zealand in 1907. My PhD consisted of another scholarly edition, this time of Samuel Butler’s satiric novel 'Erewhon' (1872). My edition situated the novel in its colonial context, as an example of the two-way literary and cultural traffic between Cambridge and New Zealand at the height of the British Empire.
During my Fellowship, I am working on a monograph which examines the workings of empire as a ‘textual exercise’, maintained through the media of ink and paper, through a book-length case study of the official and literary papers of Alfred Domett (1811-1887), colonial premier, journalist and poet.

Professor Erwin Reisner
College Lecturer in Organic Chemistry, Professor of Energy and Sustainability
Natural Sciences (Physical)
Chemistry
We are interested in applying principles from the traditional field of Biological Inorganic Chemistry to Renewable Energy research. We design artificial photosynthetic systems, which either mimic photobiological energy generation and/or incorporate enzymes directly in biotechnologically relevant hybrid systems. To achieve this aim, a solar light-harvesting component is coupled to a suitable redox catalyst to drive an energetically uphill redox transformation to produce a so-called "solar fuel".
