Alison Gerlach

Assistant Professor, School of Child and Youth Care, University of Victoria
Alison Gerlach is an Assistant Professor who joined the School of Child & Youth Care at the University of Victoria in British Columbia in August 2018. Alison’s research and scholarship focuses on informing systems change for equity-oriented child- and family-centred care in diverse early years and healthcare contexts with Indigenous and non-Indigenous families and children who experience structural forms of marginalization and a greater risk of health inequities.

Alison’s work draws on 25 years of providing occupational therapy with dis/abled children in diverse community and family contexts, and in partnership with Indigenous organizations and First Nations in British Columbia. Alison is particularly interested in the continuities between children’s early experiences of adversity, dis/ability, and health inequities and the development of inclusive, responsive, and equity-oriented structural, organizational, and practice level approaches. She is committed to community-based participatory research that engages with communities, organizations, families, and children as research partners.

Alison Habens

Head of Creative Writing, University of Portsmouth
I’m the Course Leader for many of the undergraduate creative writing courses at the University: BA (Hons) Creative Writing; BA (Hons) English and Creative Writing; and BA (Hons) Film Studies and Creative Writing. I also teach on MA Creative Writing, and am the Academic Lead (Communication) alongside Journalism lecturer Ian Tapster.

My PhD explored where writers get their ideas from, researching the complete history of writers back to the routes of Greek mythology and the nine muses.

I believe that poetry and prose can have a powerful impact on civic wellbeing. Through my recent research, I’ve looked at how people who suffer dementia can remember lyrics, giving the writer an opportunity to use beats and rhythm creating ways to connect.

The rhythm of poems can stick in one’s mind and this creative form can also be used to translate vital messages to improve public health. From outreach work with schools and colleges, I’ve learnt that the same imaginative tasks I give undergraduates in class can also bring mental focus and calming structure to younger children. Communities can learn via negative memories, through the process of telling stories and ‘narrative therapy’, allowing a person to reflect on their experience and revealing how they survived.

I lead the Portsmouth Writers Hub, a new community interest company (CIC) that brings many University writers and writing groups together such as:

Vincent Adams
William Sutton
Tom Sykes (Star & Crescent)
Amanda Garrie (T’Articulation)
Tongues and Grooves
Havant Writers Circle
Lovedean Writers
Work from the Hub aligns with the University’s democratic citizenship research theme, with members working on homeless, bereavement, addiction and environmental projects. We also have links with Bookfest and Darkfest plus local theatres and libraries too. My students are always invited to participate in community events, and have already contributed articles for Star & Crescent, Portsmouth’s independent news website.

With my passion for literature and connecting with others in a public-facing role, I’ve collaborated with local writers, colleagues, alumni, and environmental activists – Friends of the Earth, Plastic-Free Portsmouth and Extinction Rebellion – for Pens of the Earth, a project that aims to change people’s behaviour towards the environment. An example is the Streets for People initiative, rethinking the way our streets are used. With the support of partners, a street in Portsmouth closed for a day, allowing neighbours to connect in new ways and for children to play safely whilst air quality improves.

Alistair Auffret

Senior Lecturer in Landscape Ecology, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
I mostly teach landscape ecology and field botany for undergraduate students. At the post-graduate level, I develop and lead courses in using the R environment to handle data and perform GIS analyses.

I'm interested in the role of humans in determining changes in biodiversity and distributions over time. In particular, I want to know changes in landscape and climate during the past century have shaped patterns of biodiversity today. Using historical and present-day maps and species inventories, I look at the changes in biodiversity that have already happened in response to environmental change, with the hope that that knowledge can be used to conserve biodiversity now and in the future.

I am also very interested in the dispersal of plant species in time and space, and how this is driven directly and indirectly by humans through management and landscape structure. Seeds can move in any number of ways related to human activity, while dormancy in the seed bank can act to buffer biodiversity during times of unsuitable conditions. I think that understanding how species move in time and space will help us to understand their responses to environmental pressures and conservation actions.

Allison Anderson

Lecturer in tourism planning and development, CQUniversity Australia

Tropical cities are my research area, especially how many are developing from being the 'supporting act' to the 'main event' for tourists. My research looks particularly at how tropical cities are innovating their urban landscapes to move beyond the traditional huts, colonial-style architecture, beaches and palm trees and emerge as complex and cosmopolitan sites of tourist and resident activity.

I recently submitted my PhD through James Cook University on Urban design and tourism in the tropics. I have worked as a tourism research and development consultant and strategic planner for a number of years, and hold a BSc (Hons) (Geography) from Victoria University of Wellington, NZ (1998).

Allyssa McCabe

Professor of Psychology, UMass Lowell
Allyssa McCabe, Ph.D., is professor of psychology at University of Massachusetts Lowell. She founded and co-edited the journal Narrative Inquiry and has researched how narrative develops with age, the way parents can encourage narration, cultural differences in narration, and interrelationships between the development of narrative, vocabulary, and phonological awareness. With David Dickinson, she has developed a theoretical approach to early literacy called the Comprehensive Language Approach, which looks at ways that the various strands of oral and written language (e.g., vocabulary, phonological awareness, print knowledge) affect each other in the acquisition of full literacy. A key concern is with assessment of preschool-aged children, especially preventing misdiagnosis of cultural differences in language use as deficits. With Chien-ju Chang, she most recently published Chinese Language Narration with John Benjamins. She conducted a successful intervention with preschool children attending the Bartlett School in Lowell, enlisting graduate and undergraduate students to build the oral language skills such children need in order to learn to read and write. With Khanh Dinh, she was funded to study the narrative life stories of Latino and Cambodian high school students in Lowell. With Jana Sladkova, she was funded to study the narratives of immigrant children in Lowell.
