Kurt Richard Luther
I am Professor of Comparative Politics at Keele University, where I convene the Keele European Parties Research Unit (KEPRU).
My current research focuses mainly on political parties, including their organization, their role in deeply divided societies and party competition. I was part of a major ESRC-funded project (hosted by KEPRU) on the impact of European integration on the internal organization of national political parties throughout Western Europe. Recently, I have been working with an international group of scholars on the links between social democratic parties and trade unions.
I continue to research into the organizational adaptation of radical right-wing parties and into the strategies of those parties and of their competitors, as well as to specialize on Austrian party politics. In 2009, the Austrian Federal President awarded me the Austrian Cross of Honour for Science and Arts.
In 2014 I was appointed to a three-year Guest Professorship at Tongji University in Shanghai and started looking into the organisational adaptation of the Chinese Communist Party.
Since 2015, I have been Keele University's Dean for Internationalisation.

Kyle Hilburn
Research Scientist in Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University
Kyle Wilburn, Ph.D., is a research scientist at CIRA. His passion for satellite retrievals and precipitation led him to join CIRA in 2016, which provided him the exciting opportunity to analyze data from the new GOES-R Series Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) and Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instruments. His main focus has been on using GOES to better initialize convection in high-resolution weather models. Working with data from GLM sparked his interest in lightning. He is also fascinated with the power of artificial intelligence / machine learning to extract spatio-temporal patterns in satellite imagery. His recent research has used convolutional neural networks to extract precipitation latent heating rates from GOES ABI+GLM to inform numerical weather prediction models. He has developed approaches for visualizing and interpreting what the machine has learned. Kyle is also involved in satellite data applications for monitoring and modeling wildfires. Kyle previously worked for Remote Sensing Systems in Santa Rosa, California, where he worked as a Scientist and Lead Software Developer. His research initially focused on improving QuikSCAT wind retrievals in raining scenes, but this evolved into a broader pursuit of precipitation retrievals from passive microwave imagers. Kyle also studied the use of microwave satellite observations to better constrain the global water cycle.

Kyle G. Volk
Professor of History, University of Montana
Professor Kyle G. Volk's award-winning research and teaching focus on the broad history of the United States, with emphasis on political, intellectual, legal, and social history. He is especially interested in the history of American democracy; the problem and politics of dissent and difference in American society; capitalism, law, and the American state; civil rights, civil liberties, and the contested meaning of freedom in American life.
Volk's research has been supported by the American Society for Legal History, the William Nelson Cromwell Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the American Antiquarian Society. His first book, Moral Minorities and the Making of American Democracy (Oxford University Press, 2014), explores the pioneering popular struggles over minority rights that developed out of conflicts over religion, race, and alcohol in nineteenth-century America. Moral Minorities received two major honors from the Organization of American Historians (OAH) in 2015: the Merle Curti Award for Best Book in American Intellectual History; and honorable mention for the Frederick Jackson Turner Award for the Best First Book in American History. His current work explores the problem and politics of personal liberty throughout U.S. History. Volk's scholarly excellence was celebrated in 2016 by the University of Montana when he was named the Provost's Distinguished Faculty Lecturer.
Professor Volk's excellence in the classroom has been recognized on several occassions. He was the 2014 recipient of the Helen and Winston Cox Award for Excellence in Teaching, the University of Montana's 2015 nominee for CASE Professor of the Year, and the 2019 winner of the College of Humanities and Sciences' William Reynolds Award for Excellence in Teaching Across the Curriculum. Most recently, Volk garnered the 2022 University Distinguished Teaching Award, the University of Montana's highest teaching honor.
Professor Volk advises the department's chapter of Phi Alpha Theta (the history honor society) and the UM History Society. He founded the department's Lockridge History Workshop and continues to coordinate it each year. Volk is also a Prelaw advisor for history undergraduates and an affiliated faculty member of the African American Studies Program as well as the Department of Public Administration and Policy.
