Chris Woods is a widely-published investigative journalist who specialises in conflict and national security issues. A former senior BBC Panorama producer, he has authored some of the key investigations into covert US drone strikes and their true effects. He was recently awarded the Martha Gellhorn Journalism Prize for his work. His new book Sudden Justice explores the secretive history of the United States’ use of armed drones. He is presently working with field researchers in Iraq on a major project, which can present significant ethical challenges.
Dr Angela Campos is a Research Fellow in Science Policy Research (SPRU, Science Policy Research Unit, University of Sussex) working on the qualitative angle of the SPRU History Project. She is also a Visiting Lecturer in Culture and Conflict at the School of Humanities, University of Brighton. Angela has done extensive oral history work in various contexts, both in the U.K. and in Portugal. Having spent years interviewing veterans of the Portuguese colonial war (1961 – 1974), Angela is particularly aware of the ethical implications of doing oral history research in sensitive contexts. She is associated with the Centre for Life History and Life Writing Research at Sussex University.
James O'Leary is an architect and installation artist. He is co-founder of Kreider + O’Leary - an interdisciplinary practice that makes performance, installation and time-based media work in relation to sites of architectural and cultural interest. Since 2003, they have constructed work in prisons, churches, military sites, film locations, landscape gardens and desert environments, as well as in more traditional gallery venues across the UK, Europe, the US, Australia, and Japan. Their work ‘Light Vessel Automatic’ was exhibited at Performing Architecture at Tate Britain in 2013. They exhibited ‘Edge City’ at the Lisbon Architecture Triennale in 2013, and at The Whitechapel Gallery in 2014. Kreider + O’Leary's jointly-authored book 'Falling' was published in January 2015 by Copy Press. In 2014, he received a TECHNE doctoral research award at University of Brighton to examine the architect's role in the transformation of politically contested architectural sites.

The Arts and Humanities Research Forum (AHRF) is a research forum for staff and students in the University’s Arts and Humanities College generated by the Doctoral Centre and the Centre for Research and Development. The AHRF is a fortnightly event series open to all research students and staff as well as open to the public as audience members. The forum provides a regular facilitative context in which researchers can trial or rehearse research designs, argue for and justify appropriate methodological approaches and frameworks, and debate theory/practice relationships in their studies.
