He has served as a senior diplomat at the U.S. embassies in Morocco and Libya. He lived and worked for 7 years in Morocco and Libya and has travelled dozens of times to both when not living there. He also served as International Crisis Group’s North Africa director and as Control Risks’ North Africa Director. He was previously a Peace Corps Volunteer in Morocco and is currently working with current and former Peace Corps Volunteers to raise funds for earthquake relief. In Peace Corps, he served two years in a small Atlas Mountain town and one year teaching at a university in Marrakech. He previously taught at Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, George Washington, Tufts, and two Moroccan universities (the one in Marrakech and one in Rabat).

William Lempert
Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Bowdoin College
William Lempert is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. He has conducted over two years of ethnographic fieldwork since 2006 in the Kimberley region of Northwestern Australia with Indigenous media organizations. Through collaboration on production teams, he aims to understand the stakes of Aboriginal self-representation embedded within the dynamic process of filmmaking. His research engages tensions between the production of films that vividly imagine hopeful and diverse Indigenous futures, and the broader defunding of Aboriginal communities and organizations. This ethnographic research informs his current work on how critical engagements with settler-colonial histories and Indigenous futurisms can help to reimagine the current era of outer space colonization.

William Roberts
Assistant Professor, Climate Science, Northumbria University, Newcastle
I've always been fascinated by the weather and climate. This ultimately led to an undergraduate degree in Meteorology and a PhD in Atmospheric Sciences. Along this journey I learnt that not only do we know quite a lot about how the climate changed in the past, but also, by using climate models, we can explain the physics behind these changes. This is now the focus of my research. In the past I've looked at how year to year variability in the tropical Pacific evolved over the last 10 thousand years, how collapsing ice sheets can alter the global climate, and how year to year variability in Antarctica can be changed by the size of ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere. Underpining all of these studies is a desire to not just document changes but to explain how and why the changes happen.

William Robertson
Assistant Professor of Anthropology, University of Memphis
Broadly, I am interested in the connections between biomedical practice and cultural norms concerning bodies, genders, and sexualities. My research sits at the intersections of critical medical anthropology, queer theory, and science & technology studies.
My work has focused on issues concerning queer and trans people in medical settings. My dissertation project, based on 12 months of ethnographic fieldwork at an anal cancer prevention clinic in Chicago, developed a queer theory of care that challenges heteronormative logics underlying both medical care and anthropological scholarship on care. My earlier Master's Thesis work examined the experiences of queer medical students as they were socialized into medical professionalism and developed a heteronormative medical gaze.
My new work builds on my queer theory of care in a collaborative engaged-applied project in Memphis examining the care and wellbeing needs of LGBTQ+ people in re-entry after incarceration.

William Watkin
Professor of Contemporary Philosophy and Literature, Brunel University London
I am one of the leading experts on contemporary, continental philosophy in particular as regards how it relates to contemporary political situations. I specialise in the work of Agamben, Badiou, Derrida, Foucault, and Deleuze. I also work extensively on violence, conflict, terrorism, world politics and technology.
I teach a course on violence at Brunel University specialising in issues of capital punishment, technology, terrorism, surveillance and control. I have recently published articles in the media on ISIS decapitations and on the crisis in capital punishment in the US.
I have also published academic work on violence, for example: “Agamben, Benjamin and the Indifference of Violence” in Towards a Critique of Violence: Benjamin and Agamben. London: Bloomsbury, July 2015.
I am currently working with my agent on a book about the way digital technology has changed our relationship towards violence and death. Provisionally entitled "Snuff" it stretches from the use of social media to develop an intimate digital relationship with images of extreme violence, to the way digital technologies such as drones distances us from acts of war making them seem no more real than video games.

William Andrew Thompson
Post-doctoral Fellow, Department of Biology, McMaster University
I am a Mitacs Post-doctoral Fellow at McMaster University (Hamilton, Ontario) in the department of biology. I'm a developmental toxicologist, and my work delves into trying to understand our impacts on aquatic life. As carekeepers of this planet, humans haven't really done a great job. We have released pharmaceuticals, personal care products, single-use plastics, and other contaminants into aquatic environments through our wastewater, and we don't really know what their consequences would be in habitats receiving municipal wastewater effluent. I like to investigate the damage these contaminants may have on early-life stages of fish, because these critical windows of development can have life-long effects. I look at these animals from the top-down, finding changes in their behaviour, and then looking under the hood to see what part of the engine is malfunctioning.

Willow Kreutzer
PhD Candidate in Political Science, University of Iowa
Willow’s research focuses on gender, conflict, and international institutions. Some of her current research projects include examining how states' commitments to the UN Treaty CEDAW influence women’s rights over time; how rebel commitments to human rights affect violence against civilians, particularly violence against women; how natural disasters influence women’s political trust in their government in post-disaster countries; and how different peace agreements after civil war can influence the duration of peace as well as create a sense of healing for citizens. Overall, she is curious about how gender influences and is influenced by institutions and the outcomes created by these institutions for women. She hopes to add to the current field by engaging on a deeper level with feminist literature and institutional design to help create solutions to issues for women. Willow graduated summa cum laude from the University of Kentucky with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science, as well as two minors in Gender & Women Studies and International Studies. She holds a master’s degree from the University of Iowa in Political Science and is working to complete her Graduate Certificate in Gender Women’s and Sexuality Studies in addition to her Ph.D. in Political Science.
