Caroline R. Nagel
Professor of Geography, University of South Carolina
Caroline is a broadly trained human geographer whose interests lie at the intersection of urban, cultural, and political geography. As a migration specialist, Caroline has long been interested in the politics of identity, integration, and citizenship in immigrant-receiving contexts. Her work on British Arab and Arab American activists (with Lynn Staeheli) and on Christian outreach to immigrants in the U.S. South (with Patricia Ehrkamp) has explored themes of transnationalism, ethnic formation, multicultural discourse, immigrant activism, and religious identity. Underlying all of her work on migration is a concern with the everyday, place-based production and negotiation of social membership and belonging. Her years of teaching and research on immigration are reflected in her 2016 book, co-authored with Liz Mavroudi, entitled Global Migration: Patterns, Processes, and Politics (Routledge). Caroline also has an interest in Lebanon that stems from her work on Arab immigrants. Having visited Lebanon shortly after the country’s civil war, Caroline returned as a Fulbright scholar in 2010-11 and was based at the American University of Beirut. Her work on Lebanon has focused on the redevelopment of Beirut and the role of NGOs in producing new citizenship discourses in a fragmented political landscape. Caroline’s current research explores the political subjectivities of young Christians who participate in short-term overseas missions. This research asks how young people come to understand themselves as being in community with, and as having obligations to, faraway people and places. It also examines the tensions and overlaps between ideas of Christian mission and more secular conceptions of ‘global citizenship’ and humanitarianism.

Casey Greene
Professor of Biomedical Informatics, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
Casey is the Chair of and a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics and the founding Director of the Center for Health AI. His lab develops machine learning methods that integrate distinct large-scale datasets to extract the rich and intrinsic information embedded in such integrated data. This approach reveals underlying principles of an organism’s genetics, its environment, and its response to that environment. Extracting this key contextual information reveals where the data’s context doesn’t fit existing models and raises the questions that a complete collection of publicly available data indicates researchers should be asking. In addition to developing deep learning methods for extracting context, a core mission of his lab is bringing these capabilities into every molecular biology lab through open, transparent science conducted by a diverse team of researchers. Before starting the Integrative Genomics Lab in 2012, Casey earned his Ph.D. for his study of gene-gene interactions in the field of computational genetics from Dartmouth College in 2009 and moved to the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics at Princeton University where he worked as a postdoctoral fellow from 2009-2012. The overarching theme of his work has been the development and evaluation of methods that acknowledge the emergent complexity of biological systems.

She joined QUT in 2012, from the Queensland Police Service, where she worked in research and policy roles. Since 2008, Cassandra has focused her research on various aspects of online fraud, including the policing of online fraud, the prevention of online fraud, and the need to support victims who experience online fraud. In 2011, she was awarded the Donald Mackay Churchill Fellowship, which enabled her to travel to the UK, USA and Canada to examine how these jurisdictions respond to online fraud.
She is has just completed a national project with colleagues aimed at improving the reporting experiences and support services available to online fraud victims.

Catalina Goanta
I am Associate Professor in Private Law and Technology and Principal Investigator of the ERC Starting Grant HUMANads, focused on understanding the impact of content monetization on social media and on reinterpreting private law fairness in the context of platform governance. Between 2016-2021 I was Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Law at Maastricht University, and during February 2018 - February 2019, I was a Niels Stensen fellow and visited the University of St. Gallen (The Institute of Work and Employment) and Harvard University (The Berkman Center for Internet and Society). I'm also a non-residential fellow of the Stanford Transatlantic Technology Law Forum.
My research follows three main themes:
Content/web monetization and social media governance - the Internet is helping regular users make money in ways that did not exist 10 years ago, such as influencer marketing or ad revenue. In this context, I use doctrinal legal methods to critically reflect on existing and desirable regulatory frameworks surrounding online harms (e.g. content moderation; platform discretion; misleading advertising). To bring together complementing disciplines contributing to this field, I also established and coordinate, with Jerry Spanakis, the Computational Social Media research group.
Privacy, cryptography and decentralization - it is expected that the new age of the Internet will be rooted in technologies meant to enhace privacy, or decentralize decision-making. In this context I use legal and social science approaches to the study of cryptocommunities (e.g. dark web market places).
Digital monitoring tools for consumer protection - the enforcement of law through public interest technology is one of the most essential legal topics of the coming decade. By collaborating with experts in Natural Language Processing and Privacy and Security, I am contributing to the development of tools which can be used by public institutions (e.g. detecting influencer marketing business models on Instagram).
I have the priviledge of supervising four very talented researchers in their PhD research:
Thales Bertaglia (computer scientist working on computational social media studies), Maastricht University
Constanta Rosca (legal scholar working on dark patterns and EU consumer law), Maastricht University
Alex Sotropa (legal scholar working on computational antitrust and consumer protection), VU Amsterdam
