Albert Van Wijngaarden
PhD Candidate, Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge
I am a PhD candidate at the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge. My research focusses on the social and ethical questions that arise alongside attempts to study ideas to artificially intervene in elements of the climate system in the Polar regions: Who is included such projects, and who isn't? What kind of questions are being asked, and how are uncertainties and risks treated? And how do these ideas relate to each other, and to more conventional adaptation or mitigation schemes?
My current academic journey officially takes place within the bounds of a Geography department, but I have a background that spans various social sciences and humanities disciplines, and have also made some forays into the earth sciences.

Alberta SJ van der Watt
Researcher, Stellenbosch University
I am an interdisciplinary researcher. While my main area of interest is posttraumatic stress symptoms and interpersonal relationships, I have also conducted research on mood and anxiety disorders (longitudinal data), traditional and faith healers, adolescents’ experiences of a posttraumatic stress disorder intervention, and HIV and neurocognition (longitudinal data). I have conducted research using both quantitative and qualitative methods, including functional magnetic resonance imaging. I am currently working on research projects focusing on continuous traumatic stress among adolescent-parent dyads; neurocognition trajectories in women with compared to women without HIV and the role trauma plays in this trajectory; and the moderating role of attachment in breakup distress among emerging adults following a romantic relationship dissolution.
I recently obtained my PhD in psychiatry from Stellenbosch University. However, my background is in psychology, where I obtained a master's in psychology by thesis (focusing on women's experience of being single). My undergraduate degree was BComm Psychology (also from Stellenbosch University). I also have a 3-year diploma in fashion design.

Alberto Molina Pérez es investigador postdoctoral en el Instituto de Estudios Sociales Avanzados (IESA-CSIC). Anteriormente, fue investigador "Juan de la Cierva Formación" en la Universidad de Granada. Se doctoró en 2017 en Filosofía por la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Realizó estancias de investigación en las universidades de Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (Francia) y de Lausanne (Suiza). Sus principales áreas de investigación son los modelos de consentimiento para la donación de órganos cadavéricos y los criterios de determinación de la muerte. En el primer caso, se trata de entender cómo funcionan los modelos de consentimiento tanto en la ley como en la práctica, especialmente cuando se tienen en cuenta los deseos de los familiares, y de explorar el conocimiento y las actitudes del público hacia dichos modelos. En el segundo caso, se trata de analizar los criterios médicos y legales de determinación de la muerte desde una perspectiva epistemológica y, en particular, de analizar el uso del concepto de función en dichos criterios.

Alessandro Poletto
Lecturer in East Asian Religions, Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis
Alessandro Poletto (he/they) specializes in the social and religious history of premodern Japan, with an emphasis on Buddhism in the early medieval period (tenth to the thirteenth century). He earned his PhD from Columbia University in 2020 with a dissertation entitled “The Culture of Healing in Early Medieval Japan: A Study in Premodern Epistemology,” in which he examined discourses and practices concerning healing and disease, with particular attention to the relationship between Buddhist healers and other technicians involved in the treatment of illness, namely court physicians and onmyōji. His other research and teaching interests include the understanding and ritual resolution of natural disasters in premodern East Asia, the history of the cultural exchanges between the Korean peninsula and the Japanese archipelago, and Buddhist material culture and archeology in East Asia.
His current research focuses on the material and textual dimensions of various types of deposits — within statues or under the ground — in order to get a grasp of Buddhism as practiced by lay Buddhists in early medieval Japan. Dedicatory or votive materials discovered inside Buddhist statues or in underground deposits (commonly known as kyōzuka) illustrate the motivations behind the undertaking of a certain burial of sutras, or the production of a copy of a specific sutra, allowing us to see the hopes, aspirations and anxieties of the people engaging in such practices, but also the ways in which they attempted to shape their destinies, and those of deceased dear ones, through their dedicatory good acts.
Before joining Washington University, Alessandro was a JSPS postdoctoral fellow at Kyoto University. He holds a B.A. from the University of Naples “L’Orientale,” and an M.A. from Osaka University.

Alessandro held a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Harvard Medical School from 2013 to 2015, and was assistant professor and course director in global health at the Copenhagen School of Global Health, in Denmark. He has established and led the PLOS blog Translational Global Health, and has served on the Advisory Board of the EAT Initiative: the global, multi-stakeholder platform for food, health and environmental sustainability. To date, he has authored over 20 scientific publications and more than 80 blog articles.
In his pro bono work, Dr Demaio co-founded NCDFREE, a global social movement against noncommunicable diseases using social media, short film and leadership events – reaching more than 2.5 million people in its first 18 months. Then, in 2015, he founded festival21, assembling and leading a team of knowledge leaders in staging a massive and unprecedented, free celebration of community, food, culture and future in his hometown Melbourne.
