Researchers from the University developed a partnership with the charity St. John Zambia to develop a zero-cost sustainable solution that could be scaled up over time. The solution they discovered was to educate women through music. Working with volunteers from Safe Motherhood Action Groups in Zambia, they created songs on the role of the clinic and topics such as breastfeeding and sexual health, giving the mothers a better understanding of what the clinic could do for them. The project was titled ‘Life-saving lullabies’ and the team are now hoping to expand the project across wider Zambia and into Malawi, Uganda and Zimbabwe.

Bringing mindfulness centre stage Mindfulness is a practice which is derived from meditation traditions and supported by extensive recent science. Researchers at the University of Huddersfield have been developing a range of approaches to integrate mindfulness practice in performance training and artistic processes. The team were able to engage with theatre practitioners from eleven countries and work closely with leading international practitioners. Looking at how both contemporary and historical figures used mindfulness, they identified that some historical and contemporary theatre practices have their roots in Buddhist meditation.

Our researchers are committed to solving the problems and answering the questions posed by industry, science and society. Here are four ways that we are making a real difference to the world we live in.

In Zambia in 2018, up to 15 women per week lost their lives in pregnancy due to preventable causes, and in May 2019 the situation was declared to be a public health emergency by the country’s President. The reasons for these issues are complex, with a range of economic and social issues being to blame, including high rates of illiteracy, the availability of clinics and the differing levels of service between rural and urban areas. Historically, local women often acted as midwives or traditional birth attendants, but they were untrained and their practices often concerning.

Life-saving lullabies in Zambia

The project led to the identification of an emerging new field of practice, ‘mindfulnessbased performance’. By tracing the Buddhist origin of the practices, they established performance training as a viable alternative to standard mindfulness approaches. The team have developed and created an extensive body of rich practices, artworks and critical understanding to support performance practitioners in bringing mindfulness practices into their work. They were also able to apply their research to creative performance projects which reached public audiences and artistic communities in Europe, USA, Mexico, Panama, Colombia and Brazil.

Dr Hayley Gorton, Senior Lecturer in Pharmacy Practice at the University of Huddersfield, has identified another potential key role for community pharmacists and their teams –suicide prevention. She began to explore the issue with colleagues in pharmacy circles and realised there were gaps in knowledge. This insight spurred Dr Gorton into a research project in which she led interviews with pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and pharmacy counter staff.

Suicide prevention training for community pharmacy teams Policymakers increasingly value the skills of the modern pharmacist and their accessibility for local communities.

Seven years on, and following research into practice in the UK and North America, many of Dr Gorton’s insights and research findings are now reflected in official thinking and in the work of community pharmacies.

The response to the research findings meant that the number of reported ‘monthly longitudinal imbalances’ – a key factor in derailments – fell from seven to just three. In 2020, the ORR removed freight derailments from its list of top five risks.

In January 2022, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recognised the potential role of community pharmacists in their area for the first time when it cited Dr Gorton’s research in it’s draft guidance on self-harm.

Getting back on track Rail freight wagons appear sturdy, but uneven distribution of their cargo can literally result in them coming off the rails. The industry’s regulator, the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), called for an industry-wide response, which Dr Phil Shackleton and his team at the University’s Institute of Railway Research (IRR) took on.

The team ran 6,000 computer simulations of load distribution and track conditions. They applied metrics they had devised previously to existing data and technology, allowing them to assess the risk factors from uneven loads for different types of freight wagon, train or wagon contents. As a result, they advised the industry on a range of mitigations. These included a warning that capacity in wagons built for a specific purpose, e.g. carrying coal, should be reduced when they were repurposed for other freight. Coal wagons left redundant were shortened due to the researcher’s work, saving around £175m, and extending the life of around 2500 wagons.

None in Three Established for the global prevention of gender-based violence and named to reflect the number of women and girls who are subject to physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, the None in Three centre uses research to develop and evaluate computer games to change attitudes and behaviours relating to gender-based violence.

None in Three (Ni3) uses research for intervention and prevention globally, with off shoots in India, Jamaica, Uganda, the UK and Brazil. The specially recruited in-country researchers have conducted hundreds of interviews with survivors and perpetrators of violence.

The findings are also enabling development of the computer games, ensuring they are tailored to the lived experiences of survivors in the relevant countries and cultures.

“Gender-based violence is all too common, but it is not inevitable. Our work is focused on preventing violence by connecting with those most amendable to change, the young.”

HudCRES Huddersfield Centre for Research in Education and Society (HudCRES) is focused on exploring the nature and impact of education and the development of applied social research to create change and achieve impact. The research outputs aim to inform and improve social and educational policy and practice at a local, national and international level.

HudCRES’ breadth is wide and varied, including a major national initiative aimed at helping spot early signs of radicalisation or possible involvement in terrorism, which is directly acting upon years of research.

“Helping friends and family identify loved ones who are getting involved in the planning of terrorism and terror activity has been a real blind spot in national counter-terrorism policy. Our research has helped address this.”

Professor Paul Thomas The Centre’s work also includes delivery of the first national-level analysis of early intervention programmes in England for young people who are considered vulnerable to becoming NEET (not in education, employment or training).

In my PhD I am exploring the function and evolution of vitamin K dependent processes in the body and the interaction of anticoagulants with these processes. I am using non-animal cell culture models to do this, as well as multiple analytical techniques.”

“I initially applied to a full-time position, however my supervisor, knowing that I had a young family, offered me the possibility to start on a part-time basis. Studying part-time comes with its own challenges, such as having to be much more organised and juggling family commitments. However, having the possibility to undertake a research degree alongside raising a family is an amazing opportunity.

Huddersfield has an extensive range of cutting-edge equipment. My postgraduate research has allowed me to use and master a broad array of techniques and analytical equipment, enhancing my career prospects. The staff are experienced and friendly and their continuous support has made doing a doctorate smoother.

These investigations operate at many scales and levels, but a common thread is a concern about the integration of architectural, environmental and urban design. Accordingly, the overarching ethos of CUDAS is that design informs all aspects of academic research of the built environment, whether in the historical, cultural, theoretical or environmental contexts.

The laser scanning process produces digital data that can be used to create detailed spatial information in the form of an evocative ‘pointcloud’ model. Normally this data is considered as a neutral objective survey, despite the fact that there are many variables where the judgement of the operator is an important factor. There is no question that scanning offers greater accuracy than more conventional approaches but it also offers opportunities to combine the data with other forms of practice, particularly animation.

The development of 3D laser scanning offers an important opportunity to expand the ways in which architects are able to capture, develop and represent spaces, providing new and innovative opportunities to create narrative architectural concepts.

The overall effect of the combination of the projected images with the specially constructed soundscape creates an immersive experience where a literal description of the spaces is fragmented into an evocative collage of space.

“The community at Huddersfield has a strong and vibrant mix of students from around the world. We encourage and support our students to develop ambitious skills appropriate to 21st century professionals. This knowledge will give them the appropriate tools to practice at the highest level on an international stage.

The data was manipulated to explore these familiar spaces in unique ways through the production of architectural images, animations and drawings including an immersive installation.

The project demonstrates the expanded possibilities of spatial representation using laser scanning data, and draws upon the way information produced by the scans can be manipulated to retain its technical veracity, while the images themselves can evoke a much more speculative response to the sites.

Our courses are run by academics with professional qualifications in their respective disciplines who also hold recognised teaching qualifications, this allows us to give a full range of support and make sure that the student experience is the best available.”

The ability to manipulate the ‘point-cloud’ data allows the creation of synthetic spatial models that exists between the virtual and the actual and combine the ‘measured’, the ‘experienced’ and the ‘practiced’.

I believe this course enabled me to grow as a designer both in a practice-based sense and a theoretical sense, giving me a strong direction of where I want to focus my efforts in future ventures and projects.”

Research in context Sounding out Refugees in Jordan

The research project ‘Sounding out refugees’ was carried out by an interdisciplinary team of researchers from Huddersfield Business School (Dr Radi Haloub, Dr Deema Refai and Dr John Lever) and the School of Arts and Humanities (Dr Toby Martin) at the University of Huddersfield.

The ongoing refugee crisis has called for further research to explore journeys made by refugees and ways of engaging with refugees in host countries, within which entrepreneurship can be seen as one way to support this engagement.

The research highlights the transitory stages that refugees go through, presenting their entrepreneurial journey as a liminal and contextualised one. Despite the challenges that these refugees face, many of them demonstrate high levels of vocational knowledge and expertise. Some have, and continue to demonstrate, successful examples of entrepreneurial engagement whereby they are able to overcome the challenges of their context though utilising minimal resources, thus contributing to the formal and informal economy.

Leading research

Professor Catherine Johnson Professor in Media and Communication

We have the only dedicated research centre in the UK for participatory culture and fan cultures, with internationally recognised academics within the field of fan studies.

“As Professor of Media and Communications, my research focuses on how the screen industries structure our experiences of the media, with a particular interest in television, screen marketing and the internet. My book, Online TV, explores how the internet is transforming television globally, demanding new concepts, business models and media policies.

StudiesMediaandCulturalCommunication,inResearch87

inResearchcontext Online TV

Professor Catherine Johnson’s research is exploring how the screen industries respond to change. Her book, Online TV (Routledge, 2019), examines the convergence of television and the internet, arguing that we are entering a new ‘internet era’ that is changing how we understand television as a medium. Through the process of defining online TV, the book identifies four core ‘battlefields’ where the industrial struggle for online TV is taking place: technology, intellectual property, interfaces and data. It argues that these battlefields should be on the top of the agenda for academics, policy-makers and regulators. This work builds on Catherine’s previous research into the changing nature of promotional screen culture (Promotional Screen Industries, Routledge 2015, written with Professor Paul Grainge) and into the adoption of branding by the US and UK television industries (Branding Television, Routledge 2012), as well as on previous research into the US and UK television industries. She regularly works with industry, including the BBC and Ofcom. Most recently she was special advisor to the Department of Digital Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) Select Committee’s inquiry into the Future of Public Service Broadcasting. She is also working with scholars in Europe, North America and Australia. Her current research explores the ways in which people find and discover audiovisual content, based on semistructured interviews and surveys.

This open access book intervenes in contemporary debates over practice research, artistic research, and the status of embodied knowledge, as well as the construction and invention of identity through media.

Alongside my research, I have been given the opportunity to shadow the lecturers I learnt from and teach alongside them to the first-year undergraduates. My decision to continue my study here was hugely influenced by the standard of teaching that the drama course offers.”

“I am interested in theatre as a site of transformation and exploring what it means to be human. I teach the practice and theory of performance and I direct ensemble shows that use extended physical and vocal techniques to grapple with urgent contemporary issues. My 2015 and 2020 books focus on the human body in its diverse capacities and meanings, while my current research looks at race and gender identities through the lens of experimental performance practice. I work with theatre and dance companies around the world on new ways to create and share multimedia performance.”

Exploring the impacts of pandemic policies on children’s lives

Research in context

As a teacher, I have paid attention to these learners and I have seen some good results, so why do we see so many students failing at GCSE? I thought, if 75% of students are failing, then 25% of these students are passing. So why don’t I put a spotlight on these students? I wanted to look at the trajectory of these students. My research is looking at their narratives – understanding their lived experiences and what difficulties or general cultural experiences have fed into their success.”

Professor of Childhood Studies Helen Lomax from the School of Education and Professional Development and Senior Research Fellow Kate Smith from the School of Human and Health Sciences have been awarded a prestigious grant by the British Academy. The project - ‘Back Chat’ - will work inclusively with children living in diverse localities in the north of England, prioritising hearing directly from children about the impacts of pandemic policies on their lives. Developing collaborative, socially-distanced arts-based methods with children, the research will also explore representations of children in policy and policy reporting during times of global crisis. Facilitated by the team’s expertise in emerging new practices of ‘distanced’ participatory action research, children will visually chronicle their experiences using creative, digital art-based media. Findings will be captured in visual outputs from the research to support the exchange of key messages from children to policy makers, educators and other children. This follows earlier research undertaken by the teamcalled ‘Corona Chronicles’ – which was carried out at the outset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 with children who chronicled life in early national lockdowns and school re-openings.

Research at the University of Huddersfield, developed valve design methods that were responsible for reducing design lead times and manufacturing costs for an SME. The resulting valves were up to 250% more accurately sized and they also out-performed competitor products. This resulted in an increase in sales of 640% and helped the company win a contract worth circa £3m.

“The 2021 REF results show that the research carried out has significantly improved in quality and impact as well as volume since the last assessment. This is a clear recognition of the excellent research that is now being carried out and the impact. In the Department of Engineering 50% of Impact was at 4* (World Leading).

We are carrying out world-class research in key areas including: Precision Technologies, Railway Engineering, Engineering Materials, Efficiency and Performance Engineering and Electron Microscopy and Innovative Accelerator InTechnology.allofthese areas we are creating knowledge and using this to support the developments that improve understanding. We work closely with industry partners to ensure that our research has real impact on society in areas such as Energy, Transport, Health and Security. We have impressive facilities to support our research and we are home to the Centre for Precision Technologies and the Institute of Railway Research.”

inResearchcontext Optimising the Performance of Safety Critical Industrial Valves

Professor Simon Iwnicki Associate Dean for Research, School of Computing and Engineering

The design of valves used in challenging conditions, such as those found in the oil, gas and nuclear industries, has traditionally been based on the experience of the engineer rather than reproducible mathematical modelling. This led to unpredictable and sub-optimal performance. The inability to consistently ensure quality compliance, slowed the development of new technology.

“As a professor of contemporary poetry, my research focuses on post-war Irish, British and American poetry, and the history of transatlantic poetry networks. I have a strong interest in Northern Irish poetry and the work of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath. I’ve always tried to tell stories through my scholarship. My third book, Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath draws upon a wealth of new material to tell the story of Sylvia Plath’s life in art. Huddersfield is a great place to study poetry: here, postgraduate students are part of an internationally renowned research community and benefit from two world-class poetry centres, the Ted Hughes Network and the new Centre for International Contemporary Poetry.”

We have research strengths in areas such as Renaissance literature, Victorian literature and culture, environmental writing, and modern and contemporary poetry and prose. Our Creative Writers are experts in short fiction and scriptwriting, experimental novels and epic poetry.

It is recognised that people with serious mental illness (SMI) have more physical health problems and a shorter life span than the general population. The aim of this study, carried out in collaboration with the South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, was to understand what healthy living means to people living with SMI and the barriers and facilitators to a healthier lifestyle. Using the photovoice methodology (a qualitative method used in community-based participatory research to document and reflect reality) and focus groups, we found that being mentally well was the most important thing. Healthy was described as “feeling complete”; “being busy” and “finishing my goals”.

Our research students have access to high-profile public lectures that we host each year, ranging from talks by politicians such as Andy Burnham and John Bercow, MP, and encompassing the annual John Henry Whitley Lecture and Luddite Memorial Lecture. We also offer our postgraduates the opportunity to publish in their own peer reviewed journal, Postgraduate Perspectives on the Past, or on our Historians at Work blog. In addition to this, the Graduate Seminar gives our students a platform to share ideas and findings with other research students.

“My doctoral research is about ‘The experiences of visible minoritised groups at school in the North of England, 1960–1981’. The most exciting aspect of my project is the documentary film that I will produce from the interviews and the rest of my research. As a historian I tend to use the library and online research materials a great deal. Having access to searchable databases of national newspapers, for example, is incredibly useful. The main resource I access is my supervisors. Without their guidance and expertise I wouldn’t be able to produce high-quality work.

the University of Huddersfield supervise postgraduate research in a wide range of subject areas, with particular focus on history of healthcare, Holocaust studies, history of humanitarianism, post-colonialism, medieval and early modern culture, oral history, and public history.

Much of our modern technological world is underpinned by mathematics. New ways of working such as the Industry 4.0 revolution and emerging global challenges such as pandemics and climate change will only increase our reliance on advanced mathematics and mathematical modelling. There is a need for practitioners who combine advanced mathematical expertise with communication, teamwork and creative problem-solving skills. The MSc in Industrial Mathematics focuses on developing this highly desirable skillset.

The programme emphasises the full range of skills needed for mathematical modelling, covering all stages of the process. You will develop a comprehensive knowledge of mathematical and numerical methods for analysing and solving mathematical models formulated as systems of differential or integral equations. There will also be opportunities to learn about how models are formulated through engagement with stakeholders in order to reformulate their requirements in a form amenable to mathematical analysis. The clear presentation of results and distilling actionable conclusions from those results will also be emphasised. Working independently and as part of a team will be covered. Finally, the skills needed to understand and interpret data will also be covered.
