Dr Claire Fox

Dr Philip Catney

Dr James Peacock

Dr Claire Fox, a Psychologist and
former Keele PhD student, has
already established herself as a
well-known name in the field of
bullying in schools. Her involvement
in a ground-breaking ESRC-funded
study, ‘From Boys to Men’, which
examines the question of how to
prevent more boys from becoming
perpetrators of domestic violence
in later life, led to Claire managing
the research stream on a wider
EU-funded project, working with
six partners across Europe to
evaluate domestic abuse prevention
programmes and develop new
service provision in Malta.
Currently, she is leading another
high-profile ESRC study, assessing
the link between how children use
humour and the problem of bullying
in schools.

Dr Philip Catney’s main research
interests are in the fields of urban
and environmental public policy.
Since joining Keele, he has been the
lead investigator for two research
projects examining the governance
and regeneration of cities, as well as
a co-investigator for a large ESRC
and EPSRC ‘Energy and
Communities’ project, examining
energy reduction strategies in
contrasting communities. He is
currently developing research
agendas on the politics of urban
governance crises. He has
presented findings from his work to
numerous government departments
and organisations, such as HM
Treasury, the Environment Agency
and the Commission for
Architecture and the Built
Environment (CABE).
