Diego Luis
Assistant Professor of History, Tufts University
Diego Javier Luis studies the colonial histories of Latin America and the Pacific World, race-making, and Afro-Asian diasporic convergences. He is currently finishing a book with Harvard University Press entitled, The First Asians in the Americas: A Transpacific History. The book traces both free and enslaved Asian mobility from the Philippines to Mexico, Central America, Peru, and Spain, from the sixteenth to early-nineteenth centuries. In particular, it examines how Asian subjects encountered and responded to colonial-era racialization with an emphasis on cross-cultural exchanges, social mobility, and resistance to enslavement.
Luis's second project, "The Early Modern Black Pacific: Responding to Global Empire," aims to uncover the early, hidden histories of African diaspora to and through the Spanish Pacific.
Luis conducts archival research in Spain, Mexico, the Philippines, and the U.S.

Diego Restrepo
Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
I am a systems neuroscientist with a background in biophysics. The goal of my research is to understand how brain circuits mediate decision making to complex sensory input. In my lab, we study how sensory processing areas of the olfactory and somatosensory systems handle information relevant to decision-making, and how they interact with downstream regions such as the hippocampus and cerebellum. In addition, we study the circuit basis for behavioral deficits in mild demyelination and neurodevelopmental disorders.
To tackle these questions, we use an interdisciplinary approach employing high-density electrical recording, advanced microscopy, closed loop optogenetics, and computational neuroscience.

Diego Villar
Marie-Skłodowska Curie Fellow in Anthropology, Ca' Foscari University of Venice
During the last century, the indigenous South American Lowlands have been colonized by steamboats, railways, trucks, chainsaws, fire-weapons and electric generators introduced by missionaries, extractive industries, armies, development projects, and NGOs. However, anthropological and historical research has largely neglected this mechanical colonisation of indigenous life; in particular, there are almost no studies that analyse the current tide of motorcycles that during the last few decades altered dramatically the interethnic landscape, and its social, economic and environmental repercussions which are significantly reshaping current indigenous reality. The goal of my research project is to analyze the effects of motorcycle dissemination among the indigenous peoples of Bolivian Amazonia, and to achieve practical impact regarding public policies on road safety and prevention of accidents in marginal contexts.

Divya Venkatesh
Research Fellow, University of Oxford
I am a biologist with an interest in infectious diseases from evolutionary and immunological perspectives.
I study influenza viruses, which naturally circulate in wild waterfowl, but which also spills over into several mammalian species, sometimes causing devastating outbreaks or pandemics. In my previous work, I studied the transmission dynamics and evolution of this virus in wild birds and livestock. Now, as a BBSRC Discovery Fellow, I am studying its evolution and pathogenicity in marine mammals. I focus specifically on two closely-related species of pinnipeds: grey and harbour seals – which happen to exhibit dramatically distinct outcomes due to viral infections.
The idea is to use the avian-seal interface as a kind of “natural experiment” to study how avian influenza adapts to mammals, and the mechanisms underpinning the variation in host susceptibility to disease. This research can help us anticipate and respond to wildlife disease outbreaks and potentially, future pandemics.
