Laying the foundation for the field of Irish Romanticism
An internationally recognized scholar, Dr. Wright focusses on British and Irish Romantic Literature, particularly in the context of European and transatlantic debates about nation, empire, and gender.
More than any other scholar, Dr. Wright has been instrumental in laying the foundation for the field of Irish Romanticism by making a valuable array of Irish literary materials that have not been in print since the nineteenth century accessible, and comprehensible through her scholarly footnotes and introductions 鈥� her editions are widely used in undergraduate and graduate courses as well as cited in scholarship.
Wright鈥檚 current research situates the Irish Romantic-era poet Thomas Moore in transatlantic context; her work in transatlantic studies includes co-editing a book series and co-founding the Social Sciences and Humanities Oceans Research and Education network of 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 and Memorial University researchers.
鈥淪o many scholars I have long admired are in the Royal Society 鈥� it鈥檚 a great honour to join them, and a delight to see the important research in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences here at 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Recognized in this way,鈥� says Dr. Wright.
Improving outcomes in vulnerable newborns
Dr. Campbell-Yeo is internationally recognized for her contributions towards improving outcomes in vulnerable newborns. Her program of research investigates maternal driven interventions to improve outcomes of medically at risk newborns specifically related to pain, stress and neurodevelopment. Her work represents a paradigm shift by fully integrating mothers and families in intensive care delivery.
Dr. Campbell-Yeo鈥檚 passion for improving neonatal outcomes arose from her over 25 years of caring for critically ill newborns and their families as a clinician, educator, and researcher. She continues to provide clinical care in her role as a neonatal nurse practitioner to critically ill infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care unit at the IWK Health Centre and is one of the few practicing Nurse Clinician Scientists in Canada.
鈥淚 am thrilled and deeply honoured to become a member of the Royal Society College of New Scholars and join this diverse group of impressive leaders, says Dr. Campbell-Yeo. 鈥淢ost importantly, this inclusion provides an opportunity to broaden the scope and reach of the research aimed at improving outcomes for vulnerable babies and their families.鈥�
