Aaron N. Johnson
Associate Professor of Developmental Biology, Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis
We use functional genomics approaches to identify mechanisms that regulate development, regeneration, and physiology. Our ongoing projects use multiple model organism to understand muscle development and regeneration, to model structural and functional birth defects, and to identify interorgan communication pathways that regulate muscle physiology in response to infections.

Aarushi Bhandari
Assistant Professor of Sociology, Davidson College
My current research trajectory focuses on the attention economy; the economies constructed for information and communication technologies (ICTs), especially the internet and social media. My book Attention and Alienation: Reflections on the Many promises of ICTs for Social Progress is under contract with Columbia University Press. This book presents quantitative data on internet and mobile penetration across the world from 1990-2020 to unpack the historical impacts these technologies have had on different elements of global change, including international development and social movements. Throughout the book, I weave narratives about my own experiences growing up as a young millennial girl during the Nepali Civil War. These narratives provide the contexts, positions and perspectives that inspire my analysis of the data.
Expanding on my interests in the phenomena of technology and attention, my newer projects focus on the study of meditation and mindfulness as radical tools to reclaim our attention from “big tech” firms and social media platforms. As a teacher, I am especially keen to uncover this line of inquiry to support my students for whom digital and social media are integral aspects of living. My next book project will be at the nexus of the study of attention, mindfulness and the future of technology.
Finally, I am also continuing my work on communication technologies and society through interdisciplinary collaborative projects on the social dimensions of rapidly evolving Artificial Intelligence (AI) and language models.

Abbey Stockstill
Assistant Professor of Art History, Southern Methodist University
Abbey Stockstill received her B.A. in Near Eastern languages and civilizations from the University of Pennsylvania and her Ph.D. in the history of art and architecture from Harvard University. Her most recent work focuses on the intersection of architecture, landscape, urbanism and identity in the medieval Mediterranean, particularly in the region of the Islamic West known as the Maghrib (comprising present-day Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia). Her first book manuscript, Marrakesh & the Mountains: Landscape, Identity, and Urban Planning in the Medieval Maghrib (forthcoming), addresses the way the landscape of Marrakesh helps define the ethnosocial identities of two medieval dynasties, the Almoravids and the Almohads. This research has been supported by a number of international institutions including the American Institute of Maghrib Studies, the Oxford Research Centre for the Humanities (TORCH), Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collections and the École Nationale d’Architecture du Maroc.
She welcomes applications from prospective M.A. and Ph.D. students with interests in Islamic art and architecture, especially those whose topics may fall under the research categories listed below.

Abebayehu Aticho
PhD student, researcher and conservationist, Jimma University
I have been working on people-bird interaction studies for the past couple of years, focusing on indigenous people's relationships with local bird populations and ethno-ornithology. My research has taken me to remote communities (i.e., the Nuer community in western Ethiopia), where I have witnessed firsthand the deep and harmonious connection these people have with the birds around them. I am passionate about learning from these communities and using my research to help conserve both the birds and the traditional knowledge of the people who live alongside them. Through my work, I hope to contribute to bridging the gap between Western science and indigenous ways of knowing, ultimately leading to more holistic and effective conservation efforts. I am excited to continue learning and making a contribution at the intersection of ecology, culture, and conservation.
