Robynne Kotze
Research Coordinator, The Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, University of Oxford
With a keen interest in wildlife conservation and large carnivores, Robynne studied BSc Zoology at the University of Pretoria. She stayed on in 2010 to complete her honours degree, which investigated patterns of den use in aardwolf (Proteles cristata) in the northern Cape, South Africa. In 2011, Robynne worked as a co-manager on a game farm in the North-West province, setting up a breeding programme for rare game and managing both captive and free-ranging large herbivores including buffalo, sable, roan and white rhino. In 2012, Robynne moved to Botswana to start research on lions (Panthera leo) in the south-western Okavango Delta, under Tau Consultants. During the winter months, when the western Okavango was flooded, Robynne returned to South Africa and continued to work on the game management project in the North-West, conducting research in Botswana in the summer. During this time, she completed her MSc degree, through the University of the Witwatersrand, on lion social organisation and population demographics in the western Okavango Delta using historical data from the area.
(Please update)
Robynne is currently completing her field work, which will contribute to her PhD, based on her lion research in the western Okavango Delta. In 2017, Robynne joined the Trans-Kalahari Predator Programme to assist in camera trap surveys of the Okavango Delta and other protected areas in Botswana. She is also completing field work for the Trans-Kalahari Predator Programme aimed at examining connectivity between the western Okavango Delta and Namibia, aligning with the programme’s goals to establish secure corridors for lion movement within the KAZA landscape.

Rochelle Anne Davis
Professor of Cultural Anthropology, Georgetown University
Dr. Davis’ research focuses on refugees and conflict, specifically, Palestinian, Syrian, and Iraqi refugees. She has conducted research in Jordan, Turkey, Iraq, and Lebanon. She was also the lead qualitative researcher on a Georgetown University-International Organization for Migration longitudinal study of Iraqis displaced by ISIS/ISIL and their access to durable solutions. The study (2015-2021) followed over 3000 Iraqi families internally displaced in Iraq.
Her book, Palestinian Village Histories: Geographies of the Displaced, (Stanford University Press, 2011) was co-winner of the Middle East Studies Association’s Albert Hourani Book Award recognizing outstanding publications in Middle East studies. The book addresses how Palestinian refugees today write histories of their villages that were destroyed in the 1948 war, and the stories and commemorations of village life that are circulated and enacted in the diaspora. This work is based on over 120 village memorial books composed by refugees in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, the West Bank, Gaza, and Israel, and ethnographic research in these communities.
Professor Davis’ is currently writing a book about the conceptions of culture in the U.S. military’s war in Iraq. She examines the cultural training material produced by military institutions and contractors about Iraqis, Arabs, and Islam. Through interviews with U.S. soldiers and marines, her research discusses how the servicemen and women assess the cultural training they received and their experiences with Iraqi culture and society. Interviews with Iraqis provide perspective on how Iraqis experienced the American troops’ cultural knowledge in practice.
Her other research interests include Palestinian poster art ( and Palestinian social and cultural life prior to 1948. She has also collected over fifty oral histories of Palestinian Jerusalemites about their lives in the twentieth century.

Rocio Quispe Agnoli
William J. Beal Distinguished Professor, Michigan State University
Author of 2 scholarly books (UNMSM Press, Iberoamericana Vervuert), 2 scholarly collections of essays (Routledge, Cambridge UP), 1 book of short fiction (Mundo Ajeno), invited editor of 4 monographic issues of academic journals (2 in CIEHL, Letras femeninas, Letras), and more than 70 articles on Indigenous/mestizo writers (both men and women) of Latin America and their prevalence in historical narratives until the present. Quispe Agnoli is also a specialist in gender and sexuality studies and visual studies with an emphasis in the colonial period (1500-1800). Lately, she is working on (a) colonial Indigenous elite women’s writings and portraits; (b) Latin American speculative fiction, Peruvian futurism and science fiction (Andean, Amazonian) and the use/misuse/abuse of Artificial Intelligence in creative processes, and (c) gender and genre bias in the writing of speculative fiction in Latin America, especially Peru.
Her work is interdisciplinary and seeks understanding of representation and perception of similarities and differences, keeping in mind intersectionality. Thus, she works in the intersection and liminal spaces of self/other as well as the unavoidable intersections of race, gender, sexuality, belief systems (faith), and other identifiers of the human subject. Her reflection is not limited to the Spanish-speaking world--it goes over various creative genres including sci-fi, fanfic, OTW, ao3 and the use of self/other in the creation of alternate/outer worlds. Quispe Agnoli is also a fiction writer of speculative fiction (under the name of Rocío Qespi) and a scifi fanfic writer (under the name Chaska Quntur).

Rodney Coates
Professor of Critical Race and Ethnic Studies, Miami University
Rodney D. Coates is a public sociologist engaged in critical race, social justice, social movements, social policy, and practice. For Coates, being a public sociologist means that the work he does must have an impact in the wider communities — both within and external to the university.
He has conducted bias training for school districts and municipalities, police, and universities. He works with local communities, corporations, and Miami University to establish pathways to progress for under-represented students in such fields as STEM, business, and law.
At Miami University he was the driving force for the creation of the Miami-Cincinnati Scholars program which provides full scholarships for underrepresented students going into STEM.
As a public intellectual he is frequently featured in both national and local press to include NBC and NPR. He is a published poet, essayist, and editorialist. His sunset photos have been featured as the covers of several books, multiple exhibits. These photos have also been the basis for the HOPE endowed scholarship at Miami University for underrepresented students.
He has developed and taught a wide assortment of courses such as Introduction to Critical Race and Ethnic Studies, Introduction to Social Justice, Critical Race and Post-Colonial Structures, Civil Rights and Social Movements, and Human Rights and Social Movements. His course on globalization, social justice, and human rights, which links universities from around the globe (to include the United Kingdom, Moscow, Milano, Italy, Spain, British Columbia) has received several awards and been featured in published articles.
Coates developed a summer bridge program for scholar-athletes in their freshman year. This course, treating the athletes as if they were honors students, sets the expectations and curriculum to challenge them to perform way above what they believe they could ever accomplish. Increasing gpa and graduation rates have increased each year the program has been offered.
His books have won awards and charted new territory. Currently he, and co-authors, are revising their SAGE-published The Matrix of Race: Social Construction, Intersectionality, and Inequality having sold over 2,000 copies in its first 2 years since publication.
