Her research centers on knowledge management in early modern Europe (1450-1800), with particular focus on alphabetically-organized reference works like dictionaries and encyclopedias. She investigates how these media transformed knowledge communication, consumption, and conceptualization during the long eighteenth century, examining emotional responses to democratized learning and the materiality of texts. Holmberg champions interdisciplinary approaches merging History of Ideas, Book History, Cultural History, and History of Knowledge, frequently working with multilingual dictionaries, periodicals, and unpublished manuscripts to reconstruct intellectual networks. Her scholarly contributions reveal patterns: heavy emphasis on stranded/unpublished encyclopedic projects across Europe (Sweden, France, Spain), transnational analysis of dictionary impacts, and critical historiography of knowledge democratization. Key trends include emotional responses to reference works ('weapons in the hands of fools'), material artifact studies of manuscripts, and microhistorical reconstructions of failed knowledge projects. Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History, and Antiquities’ award for prize-worthy dissertation (2015) Johan Nordström’s and Sten Lindroth’s prize for scholarly excellence (2016) Holmberg supervises two PhD students while teaching undergraduate and graduate courses spanning antiquity to the French Revolution, including Enlightenment studies and History of Knowledge methodology.

Fishbone earned his BA from Amherst College (1991) and MA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths College, London (2003). He has been described by critics as a 'stand-up conceptual artist' due to his unique fusion of performance art and conceptual frameworks that examine problematic aspects of contemporary life through humorous approaches. His research focuses on questions of relativity and perception, consumer culture, financial systems, historical memory, and the relationship between image and text. Fishbone's work consistently employs popular forms in unexpected ways to deliver incisive social commentary on contemporary Western life's absurdities, particularly regarding financial systems and environmental issues. He examines how audience and context influence interpretation, often using strategies of advertising and propaganda to explore serious subjects through humor. Fishbone's significant projects demonstrate thematic evolution from early explorations of cultural identity to more recent examinations of cancel culture, anti-Semitism, and economic systems. His work shows consistent interest in how art can intervene in public discourse, challenge established narratives, and question perceptions of authenticity and value.

Michael Orton serves as Senior Research Fellow and Assistant Professor at the University of Warwick's Institute for Employment Research (IER), where he has been based since 2002. His professional trajectory uniquely combines over 15 years of frontline experience in poverty-related roles—including Citizens Advice Bureau management, local government anti-poverty policy work, and ombudsman investigations in both UK and Australia—with rigorous academic scholarship. Orton's institutional affiliation remains firmly with Warwick's IER, a research center operating across traditional school boundaries within the Faculty of Social Sciences. Orton's research program innovates through dual pathways: first, developing participatory, consensus-driven social security reform via initiatives like the Commission on Social Security project that produced the influential blueprint 'The Plan'; second, advancing strategic communications frameworks to reshape public narratives about welfare systems. His work spans social security policy, poverty dynamics, active labour market interventions, and Sen's Capabilities Approach, consistently bridging theoretical rigor with actionable policy design. This interdisciplinary focus connects social policy, political economy, and communications scholarship. Analysis of Orton's 15 most recent publications reveals intensifying focus on pandemic-era welfare challenges, with 2020-2023 works emphasizing crisis-responsive policy design, participatory methodology adaptation, and narrative interventions to counter welfare stigma. His research consistently employs co-creation frameworks involving 'experts by experience', moving beyond traditional academic analysis to generate implementable policy architectures. The recurring integration of capabilities theory provides an ethical foundation assessing policies by their impact on human freedom rather than purely economic metrics. Orton maintains robust research funding streams, currently leading the Joseph Rowntree Foundation's 2024 project on pro-social security communications infrastructure. His grant portfolio demonstrates exceptional consistency, spanning EU Framework programmes, UK Research Councils, major foundations (Joseph Rowntree, Trust for London), and government departments. While specific student supervision details aren't publicized, his project leadership—particularly the multi-year Commission on Social Security involving early-career researchers—suggests active mentorship within collaborative research environments. His policy impact extends beyond academia through parliamentary testimony, media engagement, and direct adoption of research outputs by third-sector advocacy groups.

His academic work bridges political science with community engagement, focusing on the intersection of money, politics, and policy formulation. With numerous publications in top political science and policy journals, Dr. Jorgensen has established himself as a significant voice in the study of campaign finance and political economy. Dr. Jorgensen's research interests span campaign finance, party politics, lobbying, policy formulation, and political economy. His work examines how industrial structures influence political competition and how money shapes policy outcomes. He has made significant contributions to understanding the relationship between business sectors and political parties, demonstrating that both major parties depend on large donors to a greater extent than previously estimated. His research also explores how policy narratives influence public support for campaign finance reform, particularly among those with higher political knowledge. His scholarly output shows a consistent focus on the mechanics of political finance and its implications for democracy. The articles reveal a researcher deeply engaged with both theoretical frameworks and empirical data collection, often developing new methodologies to capture the complex ways money influences politics. His work spans presidential and congressional elections, pharmaceutical policy, environmental policy, and the theoretical foundations of policy formulation. Dr. Jorgensen's collaborative work, particularly with Thomas Ferguson, has been influential in reshaping how scholars understand the relationship between economic power and political outcomes.

His interdisciplinary approach reflects the mission of his academic home, connecting theoretical political science with practical community engagement.
