Désirée Lim

Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Penn State
Désirée Lim is an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy and a research associate in the Rock Ethics Institute. She completed her PhD in Philosophy at King’s College London and was a postdoctoral fellow at the McCoy Center for Ethics in Society at Stanford University. She was awarded the Association for Political Thought/Cambridge University Press Graduate Student’s Prize in 2015 and was a Norman Malcolm Fellow at Cornell University in 2014.

Désirée’s primary research and teaching interests lie in contemporary political philosophy, with a special focus on the concept of social or relational equality. What does it mean for people to relate to each other as equals, rather than superiors and inferiors? What exactly is wrong with being treated as an inferior? Furthermore, what kinds of political conditions are necessary to protect or enhance social equality, especially that of persons from historically disadvantaged groups? Applying these questions to a concrete realm, Desiree’s research investigates the demands that the social equality of non­citizens exacts on present-day migration and citizenship policy. She has argued that skill-selective immigration policies, which are generally regarded as morally neutral or even desirable, are actually damaging to the social equality of women and low skilled migrants. In more recent work, she has analyzed how the structure of private refugee sponsorship programs could be adapted to better preserve equal relationships between refugees and their sponsors.

Désirée is currently working on a book project, Immigration and Social Equality, which provides a distinctive social egalitarian critique of existing immigration practices. She also has strong interests in bio­ethics, feminist philosophy, and the critical philosophy of race.

Devin Griffiths

Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature, USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences
I write about the relation between literature, science, and the environment. My work has appeared in various academic journals, including Critical Inquiry, English Literary History, Studies in English Literature, Victorian Studies, and Book History. My first book, "The Age of Analogy: Science and Literature Between the Darwins," published in 2016 by the Johns Hopkins University Press, examines how historical novels shaped both the life sciences and the humanities, by means of a new comparative method that established our modern, relational understanding of history. It was shortlisted for the British Society of Literature and Science’s book prize, and was runner-up for the first book prize of the British Association for Romantic Studies. I am also the co-editor of "After Darwin: Literature, Theory, and Criticism in the Twenty-First Century," which was published by Cambridge University Press in 2022. The collection gathers an international roster of scholars to ask what Darwin’s writing offers future of literary scholarship and critical theory, as well as allied fields like history, art history, philosophy, gender studies, disability studies, the history of race, aesthetics, and ethics.

I am now working on a new book project, “The Ecology of Power,” which examines how Marxist and Darwinian philosophy offer alternative models for ecocriticism and the energy humanities.

Dezene Huber

Professor, Faculty of Environment, University of Northern British Columbia
I am an insect ecologist in the Faculty of Environment at the University of Northern British Columbia.

Insects, spiders, and their kin completely fascinate me. I love to talk about the interesting little creatures that we often find living alongside us, their amazing and often surprising behaviour, how we can work to conserve these fascinating animals, and how "bugs" affect humans -- both beneficially and otherwise.

My research includes:

- insect and other arthropod biodiversity across a variety of landscapes and ecosystems including forested, agricultural, urban, and aquatic environments.

- insect chemical ecology – i.e., how organisms interact with each other using chemicals.

- forest integrated pest management.

Diane Rohlman

Associate Dean for Research, Professor and Endowed Chair of Rural Safety and Health, University of Iowa
In her work, Rohlman, Associate Professor in the Department of Occupational and Environmental Health at the University of Iowa College of Public Health, has collaborated with researchers from Brazil, Thailand, the Philippines and elsewhere. One of those collaborations has taken her to Egypt, to examine the health effects of organophosphorus pesticides on young Egyptian field workers.

Rohlman received both her master’s and Ph.D in experimental psychology from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Her early research examined the impact of low-level occupational exposure to organophosphorus pesticides in adult and adolescent farm workers in Oregon. Young workers are less likely to recognize hazards, be less aware of their legal rights and more reluctant to speak up regarding safety, putting them at increased risk for occupational injuries. They also often engage in behaviors that may increase their risk of injury, such as sleep deprivation, substance use and distracted work behaviors.

Her research was later extended to examine environmental pesticide exposure among children living in agricultural communities. Since many chemicals can attack the brain and nervous system, having methods to assess memory, attention and learning can be used to identify early deficits.

While she has been actively involved in research on five continents and more than 10 countries, Rohlman, who served as director of the Agricultural Safety and Health Training Program in the UI’s Heartland Center for Occupational Health and Safety, also offers training closer to home. The center provides graduate training programs in Industrial Hygiene, Occupational Medicine, Ergonomics, Occupational Epidemiology, Occupational Injury Prevention, and Agricultural Safety and Health.

Rohlman also serves as the Director of the UI’s Healthier Workforce Center for Excellence, a NIOSH Total Worker Health Center of Excellence. The Center focuses on promotion of safety, health, and well-being among working populations. She has mentored undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral trainees.
