Dr Kelmali contributes to research presented at two international conferences
In September 2026 Dr Eirini Kelmali, Assistant Professor at our Humanities Department, contributed to research shared at two international scientific conferences, exploring issues of well-being, inclusion and communication from interdisciplinary perspectives. At the Global Health Workforce – Barcelona event, research to which Dr Kelmali contributed was presented by Dr Sibel Kıran of Koç University as part of an ICOH cross-committee initiative. The presentation, “Women at Work in Global Health: Psychosocial Risks and Mental Well-being in a Changing World of Work – An Equity Lens on the Distribution of Risk, Resources and Recovery,” examines how psychosocial risks, resources and opportunities for recovery are unequally distributed among working women in changing work environments, including remote and hybrid work. The research draws on data from R-MAP, a Horizon Europe project in which SEERC is a partner, and builds on Dr Kelmali’s ongoing collaboration with Koç University. In Thessaloniki, Dr Kelmali presented her own research at the 1st Scientific Meeting of the Interdisciplinary Audiology Society (INAUS). Her presentation focused on speech perception in noise among autistic individuals, highlighting the challenges of understanding speech in everyday environments such as classrooms, workplaces and social settings. The talk also demonstrated the value of bringing together linguistics, audiology and neurodiversity research to better understand complex questions around communication and inclusion. Dr Kelmali’s research contributions reflect her ongoing engagement in international knowledge exchange, interdisciplinary collaboration and the sharing of research expertise across academic communities.

Personal & Professional Development Seminar: Echo and Narcissus in Victorian Poetry
Tuesday, 21 November 2023 Join and share! Participation Form Speaker: Dr James Williams Lecturer in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture, Department of English and Related Literature, University of York Overview: Greek mythology (whether accessed directly from Greek texts, through Latin retellings, or from translations) is one of the great source traditions of European literature. We find its presence across all but the very earliest periods of English poetry, but the functions and qualities of the mythic imagination differ from age to age. In this series of two lectures, I want to think about the mythographical dimension of English poetry between high Romanticism and the advent of the 20th century, from Shelley to Freud, a period that it is convenient to call "Victorian". In the first, I consider the curious afterlife of Echo and Narcissus. I suggest the story can be found in some surprising places, and that it offers poets a way of thinking through questions of speech and silence, repetition and rhyme, meaning and communication. In the second, I move to the great intersecting underworld myths: Demeter and Persephone, and Orpheus and Eurydice. In both lectures I argue that myths in poetry in the nineteenth century are also myths about poetry: mythography provides a conceptual grammar for approaching questions that would, much later, be rearticulated in other idioms including pyschoanalysis and literary theory.

Personal & Professional Development Webinar: Becoming a skilled communicator: an invaluable 21st century skill
Tuesday, 7 November 2023 Join and share! Online Participation Form Join the Webinar Speaker: Ms Maria-Araxi Sachpazian Lecturer at the Humanities Department CITY College, University of York Europe Campus Overview: Our daily lives are steeped in oral communication, so it is not an exaggeration to say that our lives are dominated by speech events. From a post on Instagram to a professional presentation, people have to use their communicative abilities and critical thinking skills to put forward their thoughts, feelings and arguments in a concise and attention-grabbing way. Being unable to articulate a clear voice and lacking the skill to present one’s point of view can impede successful communication. This session aims to pinpoint the characteristics of effective communication and to identify attributes that skilled communicators possess. Mention will be made of impediments that lead to communication breakdowns while the role of strong emotions such as rage or passion will be examined to clarify why they may not be conducive to effective communication. Finally, the session will provide tips as to how participants can hone their communication skills.
