The effects of ageing and exercise on recollection and familiarity based memory processes (2015)
Book Chapter
Tunney, R. J., Allen, H. A., Bonardi, C., & Blake, H. (2015). The effects of ageing and exercise on recollection and familiarity based memory processes. In D. Bruno (Ed.), The Preservation of Memory: Theory and Practice for Clinical and Non-Clinical Populations (139-151). London: Routledge

In the UK’s 2011 census there were high proportions of people between 20 and 49 years-old, with each 5-year band containing at least 4 million. Thus between 2022 and 2051 we can expect large numbers of people to enter their 60s, around 2 billion glob...

Masculinity in lesbian discourse: the case of butch and femme (2015)
Book Chapter
Jones, L. (2015). Masculinity in lesbian discourse: the case of butch and femme. In T. M. Milani (Ed.), Language and masculinities: performance, intersections, dislocations. Routledge

This chapter explores the ways in which a lesbian community of practice perform a ‘butch’ identity. It uses discourse analysis to consider an interaction between them, showing a shared sense of self to be produced which rejects traditional symbols of...

This chapter looks at three women poets writing during the Spanish Civil War and afterwards - two supporters of the Republican government, one a supporter of the Franco regime, all three condemned in some way to post-war silence and circumspection.

Greek hymnic spaces (2015)
Book Chapter
Thomas, O. (2015). Greek hymnic spaces. In E. Barker, S. Bouzarovski, C. Pelling, & L. Isaksen (Eds.), New Worlds from Old Texts: Revisiting Ancient Space and Place. Oxford University Press. https://doi.org/10.1093/acprof%3Aoso/9780199664139.001.0001

This chapter surveys how space is presented in a range of ancient Greek hymns, both literary and cultic. It proposes as a framework for analysis a distinction between the space of the god addressed, that of the human performers and audience, and that... Read More about Greek hymnic spaces.

Mathematical neuroscience: from neurons to networks (2015)
Book Chapter
Coombes, S. (2015). Mathematical neuroscience: from neurons to networks. In C. Dogbe (Ed.), Actes du colloque "EDP-Normandie" : Le Havre 2015. Fédération Normandie Mathématiques

The tools of dynamical systems theory are having an increasing impact on our understanding of patterns of neural activity. In this talk I will describe how to build tractable tissue level models that maintain a strong link with biophysical reality. T...
