Diti bhattacharya
Senior research fellow, Griffith University
Dr Diti Bhattacharya is an emerging leader within human geography with a focus on the study of leisure studies, migration, and sporting cultures. Diti is a Research Fellow in an ARC Discovery Project with the Griffith Centre for Social and Cultural Research at Griffith University. Her research interests include fitness cultures, sporting geographies, migration, heritage and mobilities. She is currently investigating the ways in which sporting practices and fitness cultures can be used as a social conduit through which marginalised communities experience a sense of belonging and community in Southeast Queensland. Diti is recognised for her interdisciplinary research on women, physical cultures, migration and belonging. Her research has advanced novel theoretical and conceptual frameworks for addressing new challenges arising from the increased attention on migrant women, intersectionality, belonging and leisure activities. Trained as a human geographer Diti specialises post human critical feminist theories, non-representational theory, mobilities and affect and in her work. Her work aims to bring a fresh and intersectional lens on the development of critical postfeminist analysis in the fields of leisure studies, migration and mobilities, specifically within the Australian context.

Divya Venkatesh
Research Fellow, University of Oxford
I am a biologist with an interest in infectious diseases from evolutionary and immunological perspectives.
I study influenza viruses, which naturally circulate in wild waterfowl, but which also spills over into several mammalian species, sometimes causing devastating outbreaks or pandemics. In my previous work, I studied the transmission dynamics and evolution of this virus in wild birds and livestock. Now, as a BBSRC Discovery Fellow, I am studying its evolution and pathogenicity in marine mammals. I focus specifically on two closely-related species of pinnipeds: grey and harbour seals – which happen to exhibit dramatically distinct outcomes due to viral infections.
The idea is to use the avian-seal interface as a kind of “natural experiment” to study how avian influenza adapts to mammals, and the mechanisms underpinning the variation in host susceptibility to disease. This research can help us anticipate and respond to wildlife disease outbreaks and potentially, future pandemics.

Donal Smith
Postdoctoral Researcher in Conservation, Zoological Society of London
My background combines academic research of major issues in conservation with practical on-the-ground experience of the management of highly threatened species.
I spent many happy years working with the echo parakeet in Mauritius and the hihi in New Zealand. These projects showed me the power of careful conservation interventions led by passionate groups of people, resulting in beautiful bird species slowly reclaiming their native forests.
More recently, my research has focused on how we conduct this type of work globally. I have been particularly interested in the conservation of species that have disappeared entirely from the wild but somehow survived in places like zoos and botanic gardens. These "Extinct in the Wild" species need our urgent attention and support to avoid slipping away entirely and to return to their wild habitats.
