Harold Tobin
Professor of Seismology and Geohazards, University of Washington
Harold Tobin holds the Paros Endowed Chair in Seismology and Geohazards in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at University of Washington, where he is the Director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network. He is also the designated Washington State Seismologist. His research involves the study of tectonic plate boundaries with a focus on how faults work and the conditions inside them that lead to earthquakes. He focuses particularly on subduction zones, where the planet’s largest earthquakes and tsunamis take place. Tobin’s research has taken place in Japan, Costa Rica, New Zealand, Alaska, and Barbados, as well as onshore and offshore the PAcifc Northwest.

Harriet Dempsey-Jones
Harriet is a researcher at the Oxford University FMRIB Centre (Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain). She recently moved to the UK from Australia, where she completed her PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Queensland.
Her research interests cover a diverse range of topics regarding the brain plasticity and the area of the brain that represents the body (the somatosensory system). In recent studies she has investigated how we can use training to enhance the acuity of our senses - and further - how we can alter brain plasticity to further enhance this learning process. Her work also looks at how plastic changes occur in the brain after removal of sensory input - either through amputation of a limb, anaesthetics or other interventions. Finally, how learning and plasticity can alter the balance of neural excitation and inhibition and receptive field structures.
Harriet also loves teaching, and has taught a variety of courses within The University of Queensland and Oxford University on neuroscience, physiology and psychology.

Harriet Gray
Senior Lecturer, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of York
Harriet Gray is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of York, UK. Her research interests fall within the overlapping fields of critical military studies, critical war studies, and feminist international relations. Much of Harriet’s research to date has focused on gender-based violence in armed forces and conflict spaces, where her work seeks to understand the lived experiences of victim-survivors and of perpetrators and to draw intra-active connections between multiple forms of violence from the intimate to the geopolitical. Harriet has conducted qualitative interview-based research on sexual violence and intimate partner violence in the British military, and on multiple forms of GBV in (post-)conflict settings in the African Great Lakes region. Harriet is also PI on an ESRC-funded project exploring the memorialisation of sexual violence across war and peace in the contemporary USA. This work explores the potential of public art to change the conversation around sexual violence, and the complicated politics of trying to use it to do so.
Harriet’s work has been published in journals including European Journal of International Relations, International Feminist Journal of Politics, The British Journal of Politics and International Relations, Security Dialogue, Gender, Place and Culture, and the Royal United Services Institution Journal. She is an Associate Editor of Critical Military Studies and of Political Studies.

Harriet Richardson Blakeman
PhD Candidate, Architectural History, The University of Edinburgh
I studied English and the History of Art at the University of Nottingham, after which I gained an MLitt from the University of St Andrews in architectural history. This led me to a career as an architectural historian. My first job was a survey of historic hospital buildings in Scotland, a two-year post funded by the Scottish Research Council which I did in 1988-90. I then worked briefly for Historic Scotland before joining the Royal Commission on the Historic Monuments of England on a national project to record hospitals. I went on to edit the resulting publication, 'English Hospitals 1660-1948', published in 1998.
Since 1992 I was based with the Survey of London, and after the hospitals project I joined the Survey team, contributing to several of their published volumes on London's urban history. I took early retirement in 2018, and decided to pursue my interest in hospital design, taking the story on beyond 1948 to investigate how hospital buildings developed under the NHS. In 2019 I was awarded an AHRC-funded scholarship by the Scottish Graduate School for Arts and Humanities to undertake a PhD at the University of Edinburgh. The subject of my doctoral research is the idea of medicine and modernity in hospital architecture in the first fifty years of the NHS in Scotland.

Harry Barbee
Assistant Professor of Health, Behavior and Society, Johns Hopkins University
Dr. Barbee (they/them) uses quantitative and qualitative methods to examine how social locations — especially gender and sexuality — influence people’s experiences of health and aging. They are particularly interested in detecting, understanding, and reducing health disparities among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) populations by studying the population's exposures to stressful life events, like discrimination, harassment, and violence. Dr. Barbee is also interested in examining interventions that can improve health and aging outcomes among LGBTQ populations.
As an interdisciplinary scholar, Dr. Barbee's research addresses a range of topics that are important to medical sociologists, gerontologists, gender and sexualities scholars, public health experts, and policy makers. For instance, they have developed innovative perspectives on timely issues that have implications for improving LGBTQ health and aging, including experiences of victimization, access to LGBTQ affirming health care, workplace stress, worries about prospective health, the medicalization of human behavior, and the emotional burdens of living in a society that assumes a gender binary.

My research focus over the previous 15 years has been on understanding changes in population dynamics for species of conservation concern. Questions with practical application to fisheries management or those that increase our understanding of changes in population status are my primary interests. I have concentrated on two general areas: first, on the development of methods to best generate data to support life history modeling or fisheries assessment; and second, on the integration of assessment methods or statistical techniques used outside of fisheries research to enable new ecological inference from historical data collections. Results from my research have been directly incorporated into multiple regional fisheries assessment programs (salmon, river herring, American eel, shark), and used to develop recovery strategies for species at risk (salmon, shark), for regional government departments, non-government organizations, and international RFMOs.
