Lecturer in the Humanities in the Interdisciplinary Institute for the Humanities
Tori’s research is broadly concerned with feminism, cultural politics and identity. More specifically she explores gender within youth cultures, seeking to make sense of the ways in which gender is reproduced through the regulation of cultural taste articulations. Tori teaches on the Foundation Year in the Humanities, and she is particularly concerned with encouraging students that are under-represented in higher education to study at university. As well as being deputy chair for the ResNet committee she is also a committee member of the International Girls Studies Association, a member of ARTS Emergency and co-founder of the community project Day of the Girl Norwich.

Professor of Volcanology, School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia
Jenni's background is in Geology, with a first degree from the University of Edinburgh and PhD from the University of Bristol. Her passion within geology is Volcanology and her PhD looked at several aspects of the degassing process associated with silicic volcanoes. Her first post-doctoral research project in 1996 involved an experimental investigation of the magma storage conditions of the newly erupting Soufriere Hills Volcano and as well as two further post-doctoral positions (Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley and Maitre Assistante at the University of Geneva) and she also undertook several periods as a duty scientist at the Montserrat Volcano Observatory. The experiences on Montserrat and elsewhere convinced Jenni of the need for a truly inter-disciplinary approach in order to properly understand volcanic eruptions and mitigate their impact. Since her appointment at UEA in 1999, Jenni has made full use of the rich diversity of researchers at UEA that go beyond the usual realms of geology and collaborate with sedimentologists, atmospheric scientists, geophysicists and social scientists on a variety of different problems relating to volcanic phenomena.
