Duncan Stone
Visiting Researcher, University of Huddersfield
My PhD examined the historical, sociological and cultural machinations of cricket in southern England, with a particular emphasis upon the philosophical origins of amateurism, how amateurism was used as a means of class distinction and the influence this had upon the development of regional identities.
My post-doctoral work aims to investigate (amongst other things) the links between social class, the suburbanisation process and cultural change. I am also writing a social history of English cricket, with a particular emphasis upon amateur cricket – the game as played and watched by the vast majority of the sport's followers – and the relationship this level of cricket had with the so-called 'first class' game.

Duncan Watson
Professor of Applied Economics, University of East Anglia
Duncan, a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, is primarily a labour economist. While he remains dedicated to this domain, his recent research has taken a more unconventional direction. He has ventured beyond typical economic parameters, applying labour theory to a variety of unique subjects that many consider outside the conventional scope of the field. His innovative, interdisciplinary studies encompass areas such as the integration of economic psychology with housing demand modeling, the use of firm organization theory in addressing skill shortages, examining the effect of military spending on labour demand, and researching the implications of labour market inefficiencies on financial sector expenses.
Duncan is deeply involved in researching the student experience in education. He has contributed to the field of economics education with publications on curriculum design to optimise student engagement and a comprehensive overview of diverse assessment methods, from seminar evaluations and reflective exercises to group assessments and online discussion boards, all aimed at enriching the learning experience for students.
My research centres on enhancing Pedagogical Content Knowledge, which commits to advancing both disciplinary and educational research methodologies. The disciplinary aspect of my work draws on applied economics to empirically test hypotheses across a broad spectrum of issues, avoiding an overly narrow focus within the field. Meanwhile, my burgeoning work in pedagogical research examines the impact of teaching-only contracts on student experiences and emphasises the significance of economic pluralism. This approach advocates for diverse teaching methodologies, enriching student options for learning economics and fostering a more inclusive educational environment.

Dusty Hoesly
Postdoctoral Researcher in Religious Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara
My research focuses on American religions and secularism, specializing in how new religious movements, Asian American religions, and the religiously unaffiliated shape modern American culture. I employ humanistic and social scientific methods to investigate how religion is constructed through discourse, practices, and institutions. I have published work on the Universal Life Church and contemporary American weddings, organic foods in new religious movements, biodiversity and spiritual wellbeing, and religion in the American West.
Current projects include the Meaning of Religion Project, part of an intergenerational study of religion, spirituality, and values funded by the John Templeton Foundation; the Secular Communities Survey, the largest-ever study of organized nonbelievers in the U.S.; a co-edited volume (with Melissa Borja) on Asian American Religions, Religious Freedom, and the State; and a monograph on the Universal Life Church. I am also developing articles about the Orientalist origins of the brainwashing concept and its application against Asian American new religions, the Esalen Institute’s spiritualization of geopolitics, and the federal taxation of religious groups.
I have conducted podcast interviews and written articles for the Religious Studies Project, published book reviews and encyclopedia entries, and contributed articles for academic blogs. These can be found here.
I am co-chair of the AAR’s Sociology of Religion Unit and I serve on the steering committee of AAR’s Asian North American Religion, Culture, & Society Unit.
Previously, I was a visiting assistant teaching professor at the University of Southern Mississippi and a lecturer at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Dyala Hamzah
Associate professor of history, Université de Montréal
My research interests concern the processes of reform and centralization in the Arab provinces of the Ottoman Empire throughout the 19th century (Egypt, Syria, Iraq, North Africa), from a cultural and social perspective. The central role of the press and associations in the emergence of a public space during the Arab Renaissance and the issues of education and citizenship in the colonial and post-colonial periods are central to my research.
At the same time, my work bears on the symmetrical processes of professionalization and the popularization of Islamic expertise in the 20th century. More specifically, I am interested in the institutional and curricular development of mosque-universities such as al-Azhar, Zaytuna and Qarawiyyin, from the 18th century until their nationalization in the 1960s, and also in the legacies and uses of Islamic historiography, philosophy and law in the contemporary period, particularly in nationalism and Islamism.
My current research aims to contribute to the cultural history of Arab nationalism and to define its key institutions: volunteer associations and secret societies; scouting movements; school textbooks.
