Atalia Omer
Professor of Religion, Conflict and Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame
Atalia Omer is Professor of Religion, Conflict, and Peace Studies at the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies and at the Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame. She earned her PhD in Religion, Ethics, and Politics (November 2008) from the Committee on the Study of Religion at Harvard University. Her research focuses on religion, violence, and peacebuilding, Palestine/Israel, Jewish studies, decoloniality and religion, and religion and politics. She was a 2017 Andrew Carnegie Fellow resulting in Decolonizing Religion and Peacebuilding (Oxford University Press, 2023). Conversing with decolonial scholarship across multiple fields of study, this book examines, through an extensive empirical work in Kenya and the Philippines, how and why the practices of religion and peacebuilding/development both reinforce and exceed global structural, neocolonial, and epistemic forms of violence. The book traces why a consolidation of the industry of religion and peacebuilding (or the “harmony business”), in the intersection of neoliberalism and an orientalist security discourses, disempowers religious action at the same time that it empowers religious actors. It exposes another ironic insight: “more is less,” meaning that rather than enhancing religious literacy, the “harmony business” diminishes hermeneutical horizons. Even as a growing focus in the policy world on the “global engagement with religion” bills itself as a paradigm shift away from a secularist ignorance of the causal capacities of religious actors, meanings, networks, and institutions, this increased investment in “engaging” with religion is utilitarian. It focuses much more on function or doing religion or being religious as a matter of communal boundaries rather than on content or knowing religious traditions as living and contested sites of interpretations and reimagining. Yet, the decolonial and intersectional lens cannot obscure the existence of the multiple religious actors in the global South and their participation in projects of survival, which includes investing in interreligious and intercultural peacebuilding actions. Such religious actors generate decolonial openings regardless of being firmly grounded in closed rather than hermeneutically open or fluid accounts of their religiosity and communal narratives. They should not be theorized away. Analyzing their work offers an opportunity to rethink the study of religion, violence, and peace practices, their relevance to theory, and theory’s relevance to them.
Omer’s first book, When Peace is Not Enough: How the Israeli Peace Camp Thinks about Religion, Nationalism, and Justice (University of Chicago Press, 2015) examines the way the Israeli peace camp addresses interrelationships between religion, ethnicity, and nationality, and how it interprets justice vis-à-vis the Palestinian conflict. This work scrutinizes the “visions of peace” and the “visions of citizenship” articulated by a wide spectrum of groups, ranging from Zionist to non-Zionist and secular to religious orientations.
Omer’s second solo-authored book project, Days of Awe: Reimagining Jewishness in Solidarity with Palestinians (University of Chicago Press, 2019) explores why divergences in conceptions of national identity between “homeland” and “diasporas” could facilitate the proliferation of loci of analysis and foci of peacebuilding efforts which are yet under-explored both in peace studies and specific scholarship addressing the relations between diasporas and conflict.
As a locally situated, distant issue movement, Jewish Palestine solidarity offers a grassroots critique and a transformative agenda for the local Jewish-American landscape while also critiquing Israeli policies and Zionist interpretations of Jewish identity. This book examines the intentional participation of this movement in intra-traditional work that seeks to provincialize Zion from Jewish identity and inter-traditional work that seeks to undo the intersections between Islamophobia in the U.S. and the marginalizing and silencing of lives in Palestine.
Inter-traditional work is also examined as pivotal to the movement’s efforts to deconstruct the conflation of critique of Israeli policies with anti-Semitism. Likewise, the movement participates in a broader, intersectional solidarity analysis that connects Palestinian struggles with other sites of injustice, both locally and globally, from #BlackLivesMatter to protests against the wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
Omer has also edited and co-edited multiple volumes including The Oxford Handbook of Religion, Conflict, and Peacebuilding (Oxford University Press, 2015). She has published articles in, among other venues, the Journal of the American Academy of Religion, the Journal of Religious Ethics; Soundings: An Interdisciplinary Journal; the Journal of Political Theology, the Study of Nationalism and Ethnicity, the International Journal of Peace Studies, Critical Sociology, Critical Theory of Religion, The Review of Faith and International Affairs, and Method & Theory in the Study of Religion.
Omer was awarded an Andrew Carnegie Fellowship in 2017. She is also a Senior Fellow at Harvard Divinity School’s Religion and Public Life’s Religion, Conflict, and Peace Initiative. She was the recipient of a research fellowship from the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Studies (Fall 2011), Charlotte W. Newcombe’s Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship (2007), and Harvard University Merit Fellowship (2006). She was a doctoral fellow at the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard University (2002-2004) and a Graduate Associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University (2006-2008).

Audrey Mat
Researcher in marine biology and chronobiology, Universität Wien
I am a marine biologist, for what might be the simplest reason: passion for the ocean and the biological wonders it hosts. My research focuses on how marine animals cope with their changing environment, whether influenced by natural cycles, anthropogenic activities, or a combination of both. In particular, I use both molecular tools and behavioral analysis to understand how the physiology of marine animals changes over time, as the oceans are complex, oscillating environments.
Currently, I am exploring these questions in one of our greatest ecological frontiers, the deep sea.

Dans les pays occidentaux, on assiste à une logique de pluralisation des activités policières. Cela touche notamment le domaine de la police des foules ; en effet, de plus en plus d’unités, dont l’organisation et les modes de fonctionnement peuvent parfois être très différents, sont amenées à participer aux opérations de maintien de l’ordre. La question se pose donc de savoir comment, aussi bien en bas de la hiérarchie qu’au niveau de l’état-major, elles échangent, se jugent et se coordonnent pour mener à bien les opérations de maintien de l’ordre.

Avery Paxton
Research Marine Biologist, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Paxton is a Research Marine Biologist at NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), where she focuses on coastal resilience and restoration. She quantifies ecological functions of created, restored, or impacted habitats to learn which interventions can best achieve intended ecological outcomes (e.g., coastal resilience, ecosystem services, community structure).
Paxton’s current research evaluates how natural and nature-based infrastructure (e.g., salt marshes, coral reefs, living shorelines) can boost coastal resilience. A major pillar of Paxton’s research is conducting regional and global syntheses to gain new insight from previously collected data. Earlier in her career, Paxton determined ecological functions of human-made reef habitats, including artificial reefs and historic shipwrecks, and tested whether artificial structures provide similar fish habitat to natural reefs.
Paxton began her career by earning a B.S. in Environmental Sciences from the University of Virginia, where her undergraduate thesis on shipwreck ecology stemmed from her time as a NOAA Hollings Scholar. After working as a research technician at the University of Washington Friday Harbor Labs studying rocky reefs and kelp forests, she earned her PhD from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she studied how reef fishes rely on rocky reefs, artificial reefs, and shipwrecks. Paxton conducted a joint postdoctoral fellowship with a nonprofit, a consortium of aquaria, and Duke University, studying reliance of a large coastal shark on artificial habitats before spending three years conducting research under contract to NCCOS through CSS-Inc.
