Professor of History; Director of the Havighurst Center for Russian and Post-Soviet Studies, Miami University
My work studies nationalism and propaganda in the Russian Empire and Soviet Union during the 19th and 20th centuries. My current research project is entitled Communism's Cartoonist: The Extraordinary Lives and Deaths of Boris Efimov. Efimov (1900-2008) was the most significant political caricaturist in Soviet history. His career began in Civil War Ukraine when he was just a teenager before he moved to Moscow in 1922 and worked as a cartoonist for major Soviet publications such as Izvestiia and Krokodil. He continued to draw caricatures for them until the collapse of the USSR in 1991. Efimov, as my biography explains, lived at least four lives and suffered at least three deaths during his 108 years. It is also a biography of the Soviet experiment as well as a history of modern propaganda. Making use of Efimov’s personal archives in Prague and Moscow, I hope to rethink the conventions of the biographical genre and tell a story of not just one person, but an entire century.
In addition to this biography, I am also the co-lead scholar on an NEH-funded project, “Postcards of the Siege.” Using an unparalleled collection of postcards produced during the Siege of Leningrad (1941-44) and held at the Blavatnik Archive in New York City, this project will result in the creation of an immersive website and in-depth look at how propaganda, art, and communication fused together during a time of total war.
Finally, I continue to collaborate on a project entitled “Creative Horizons: Art in the Post-Soviet Era.” Working with colleagues from the Melikian Center at Arizona State University and the Institute for Russian, European, and Eurasian Studies at the University of South Florida, “Creative Horizons” spotlights the work of artists in the former Soviet world. The Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has led us to focus on Ukrainian artistic resistance. You can find all the videos produced in the series on the Melikian Center’s website. As part of this project, I have also produced two short videos in collaboration with videographer Ari Gajraj on the Ukrainian author Yevgenia Belorusets and the Ukrainian filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa.

My name is Dr. Stephen Russell, and I work in the Department of Greek and Roman Studies at McMaster University. I received my PhD in 2011 (in Classics, with a focus on Latin literature) and have been leading our medical language programme since 2013.
My main interest now lies in medical language, whether it is the Latin of anatomy or the formulas that are applied to the Greek-based clinical terms. There are many fascinating unexplored areas of medical language that require study, and I find it particularly exciting since there is an opening for people who both know formulaic and practical etymology, and can apply this knowledge to the predictable world of medical language.

Professor of Marine Science, National Marine Science Centre, Southern Cross University
I am a marine benthic ecologist with primary interests in the amazing biodiversity that can be found in our marine and estuarine environments. Much of this diversity is under threat from a wide range of human impacts and I am dedicated to understanding these impacts with a view to fostering long-term sustainability. Because little is known about the distribution and dynamics of marine biodiversity in Australia, especially in subtidal environments, much of my research focuses on measuring and monitoring diversity and determining the main factors that cause it to change - this includes both natural and human-induced impacts. This is a very broad area of research and my specific interests lie in the following key areas:
- Developing methods to measure and monitor biodiversity in a rigorous and cost-effective way;
- Measuring natural variation in communities - it is only by measuring this that we can effectively detect changes caused by human activities;
- Measuring and monitoring the effects of different types of human impact on marine communities (especially marine debris); and
- Identifying biodiversity hotspots (areas of high diversity that are also under threat) and, in collaboration with management agencies, facilitating their sustainable management;
Much of my work focuses on the highly diverse communities associated with subtropical reefs on the east coast of Australia. However, I am also actively involved in research in Indonesia and SE Asia. My main interest is in marine invertebrates and especially the molluscs which are not only highly diverse, occurring in most if not all marine habitats, but also an excellent model group for studies of biodiversity and human impact.
Over the last decade I have focused strongly on developing citizen science programs to both develop community capacity and to deliver data to support marine management at a range of scales. This has included assessments of marine debris, as well as biodiversity assessments of charismatic groups of organisms (e.g. the Sea Slug Census program).
