Kimberley Davis
Research Ecologist, United States Forest Service
I am a research ecologist with the USDA Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Research Station at the Missoula Fire Sciences Lab. My research focuses primarily on understanding how the combined effects of changes in climate and changes to fire regimes affect forest resilience and the implications for forest management. Current research projects include: Understanding how climate change may impact post-fire conifer forest recovery, assessing the effectiveness of climate-adaptive post-fire reforestation strategies, and projecting potential changes in vegetation due to climate change to help inform management of post-fire vegetation transitions.

Kimberley Jane Bartholomew
Associate Professor in Education, University of East Anglia
Kimberley’s research is primarily based within the framework of self-determination theory and aims to (i) accurately measure and map the motivational determinants of adaptive and maladaptive engagement in learning environments (i.e., education, sport, and exercise); and (ii) utilise this information to inform the implementation and evaluation of intervention programmes designed to facilitate optimal motivation, performance, and well-being in these contexts. Her interests in this area include the use of online platforms in intervention work with teachers and young people and focuses on the way in which we can develop and assess digital resilience. Kimberley is also interested in the influence of educational practices on sustained health-conducive behaviour (healthy eating and exercise). Her research as received funding from the ESRC, British Academy, and the UKRI among other organisations and charities.

Kimberly Rosvall
Associate Professor of Biology, Indiana University
I want to understand how behavioral evolution unfolds and why animals behave how they do. I love bold experiments that embrace the complexity of the natural world.
I began my career studying why females are aggressive, using large scale field experiments to induce territorial competition among cavity-nesting birds. Through analysis of the winners of such competition, I have integrated how and why questions in animal behavior, combining muddy boots field biology with endocrinology, neurobiology, and genomics. Recently, I have applied these tools to a new combination of age-old and emerging questions that extend my work into to macroevolution, range expansion, stress resilience, and the physiological mechanisms that facilitate these universal phenomena. My research group works entirely on free-living birds.

Kirsty-Louise Cameron
Lecturer in Criminology, Leeds Beckett University
I am a Lecturer in Criminology at Leeds Beckett University, with research interests related to antisocial behaviour, social housing, intersectionality, vulnerability and welfare conditionality. My teaching relates to criminal justice, intersectionality and research methods. My PhD research at the University of York is related to antisocial behaviour, using a newly developed theoretical framework of vulnerability to understand alleged perpetrator experiences of antisocial behaviour. This longitudinal research followed 15 social housing tenants over 6-9 months whilst they were alleged to be engaged in antisocial behaviour. I also have an MA in Social Research and BA Hons in Social Policy at the University of York.
Prior to starting my PhD, I worked in the social housing sector for 8 years across customer service and housing officer roles. Industry experience of antisocial behaviour and the management of social housing tenants solidified my interest in the perspectives and experiences of social tenants and, specifically, alleged perpetrators of antisocial behaviour who are rarely surveyed by their social housing providers and are often seen as a hard-to-reach population by academic researchers.

Klara Fischer
Associate professor in Rural Development, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
Food production is at the same time central to humanity and intimately connected with many of the serious challenges to global climate and ecologies. My research interests concern how ideas and practices regarding today's sustainability challenges in food production and natural resource management are negotiated and turned into practice, and in particular how marginalised groups are affected. While the biodiversity crisis and the climate crisis are both real and urgent to address, we must explore how the burden for needed changes is distributed, between the global North and South, within countries and local communities, and between humans and the environment. Asking these questions is key to my research. Geographically most of my research is located in Africa (esp. Uganda & South Africa) where I study how agricultural and natural resource policies and wider development agendas affect African smallholders.
