Kirsty Ross
Associate Professor and Senior Clinical Psychologist, Massey University
I am an Associate Professor and the Head of the School of Psychology at Massey University, and I teach in our clinical psychology programme. I am also a senior clinical psychologist, specializing in working with children, youth and families. I have worked in mental health - particularly anxiety and trauma - as well as long-term and life-limiting health conditions (particularly pediatric and youth cancer) for over twenty years. Translating psychology into everyday practices that people can use in their lives to enhance their wellbeing and relationships is something I am passionate about.

Kirsty-Louise Cameron
Lecturer in Criminology, Leeds Beckett University
I am a Lecturer in Criminology at Leeds Beckett University, with research interests related to antisocial behaviour, social housing, intersectionality, vulnerability and welfare conditionality. My teaching relates to criminal justice, intersectionality and research methods. My PhD research at the University of York is related to antisocial behaviour, using a newly developed theoretical framework of vulnerability to understand alleged perpetrator experiences of antisocial behaviour. This longitudinal research followed 15 social housing tenants over 6-9 months whilst they were alleged to be engaged in antisocial behaviour. I also have an MA in Social Research and BA Hons in Social Policy at the University of York.
Prior to starting my PhD, I worked in the social housing sector for 8 years across customer service and housing officer roles. Industry experience of antisocial behaviour and the management of social housing tenants solidified my interest in the perspectives and experiences of social tenants and, specifically, alleged perpetrators of antisocial behaviour who are rarely surveyed by their social housing providers and are often seen as a hard-to-reach population by academic researchers.

Klara Fischer
Associate professor in Rural Development, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
Food production is at the same time central to humanity and intimately connected with many of the serious challenges to global climate and ecologies. My research interests concern how ideas and practices regarding today's sustainability challenges in food production and natural resource management are negotiated and turned into practice, and in particular how marginalised groups are affected. While the biodiversity crisis and the climate crisis are both real and urgent to address, we must explore how the burden for needed changes is distributed, between the global North and South, within countries and local communities, and between humans and the environment. Asking these questions is key to my research. Geographically most of my research is located in Africa (esp. Uganda & South Africa) where I study how agricultural and natural resource policies and wider development agendas affect African smallholders.

Kory Evans
Assistant Professor of BioSciences, Rice University
The Evans lab is interested in the ecology and evolution of phenotypic diversity, integrating data from developmental biology, ecology, biomechanics and phylogeny to understand this process at various timescales. Bony fishes provide a unique opportunity to ask these questions and study the origins of phenotypic diversity along with the interface between phenotype and environment, within the most species-rich assemblage of vertebrates on the planet. Our research program is centered on three questions:
1. How do patterns of ontogenetic variation scale to patterns of phenotypic diversity?
2. How do intrinsic (ontogenetic constraints) and extrinsic (environmental variation) factors influence patterns of phenotypic diversification and convergence?
3. How do functional traits covary in development and evolution?

Kristi Curry Rogers
Professor of Biology and Geology, Macalester College
I’m a vertebrate paleontologist most interested in studying dinosaur evolution and paleobiology. My current research focuses on the evolutionary history of Titanosauria – the latest surviving and perhaps most diverse lineage of long- necked sauropod dinosaurs. Titanosauria includes over 40 species that had a near- global distribution during the Late Cretaceous. They are of particular interest to me and my students because of the incredible array of adult body sizes attained within the group. Titanosauria includes the largest land-living animals of all time, as well as species thought to be dwarfs. Among dinosaurs, titanosaurs may be one of the only groups to experience a body size reduction during their evolutionary history. With regard to paleobiology, I am most interested in understanding dinosaur life history, and utilize bone histology to explore and reconstruct growth patterns in extinct dinosaurs, living birds, and other vertebrates. To these ends, I also conduct field research in Montana, Madagascar, and Zimbabwe.
