PhD student, School of Biosciences, The University of Melbourne
Elliot Gould is a PhD candidate at the School of BioSciences, and a Quantitative Research Assistant on the repliCATS project at the School of BioSciences, University of Melbourne. Their PhD investigates the transparency and reproducibility of ecological models in applied ecology and conservation decision-making. Elliot seeks to use data science techniques to advance the open-science movement by improving the transparency and reproducibility within their home discipline of ecology and conservation science. Within this field, Elliot’s primary interest is in building ecological models for aiding ecological management and conservation decisions. Other research interests include decision-theory, Structured Decision Making, and plant ecology (especially grasslands of the Victorian Volcanic Plains). They have an enthusiasm for teaching and skill-sharing, particularly with regard to building a strong community of practice in emerging open-science methodology and computational biology within ecology and conservation.

PhD in English Literature, University of Sheffield
Ellis Walker is a PhD English Literature candidate at the University of Sheffield. Her research excavates the digital and material spaces and places where black British authors and their books are discussed. As a member of the Black Writers' Guild she is invested in raising awareness of racial inequalities in the publishing industry, which forms a large part of the thesis. In 2017 she completed her MA in Black British Writing from Goldsmiths University, with a research project that became a survey of blackness in Britain from the Windrush era to present day.
Post-PhD, Ellis hopes to open a publishing imprint in the north of England to help other curious minds become more aware of the blackness in Britain outside of the major cities.

Doctorante en histoire de l'architecture contemporaine, Centre Chastel, Sorbonne Université
Élodie Bitsindou poursuit actuellement ses recherches en histoire de l’architecture contemporaine sous la direction de Jean-Baptiste Minnaert au sein du centre André Chastel, un laboratoire affilié à Sorbonne Université, au CNRS et au ministère de la Culture.
Sa thèse en cours se concentre sur la création de "nouveaux-villages" pavillonnaires en France des années soixante à quatre-vingt. Elle y explore les dynamiques de l'habitat individuel en France à travers sa thèse intitulée "Logés à l’américaine : Émergence, évolution et perception de la maison individuelle en France. Histoire croisée autour de la firme Levitt And Sons (1962-1981)". Cette recherche offre un regard original sur l'évolution de la construction, de l'aménagement du territoire et des modes d'habiter à l'échelle nationale, européenne et mondiale.
Précédemment, ses travaux de master portaient sur les réalisations de Ricardo Bofill dans les villes nouvelles franciliennes, marquant ainsi le début de ses études sur l’architecture et l’urbanisme du XXe siècle, avec une attention particulière portée à leur dimension utopique.

I am interested in how political parties and voters adapt to new situations, in particular how parties and voters have responded to devolution in the UK and beyond. I have conducted research on party organisational changes in Spain and Britain, investigating and codifying the relationship between the central level of statewide parties and their ‘regional’ branches. In the context of devolution, I am increasingly interested in the issue of citizens’ response to devolution and citizens’ understanding of devolution, and what they mean for democratic accountability.
In addition, I have recently developed an interest in ‘unusual’ voting situations such as external voting (expatriate vote in national elections) and the vote of non-national EU citizens in the local, devolved and European elections (EU citizens voting in a country other than their own).
Finally, I remain interested in French politics. I have become country co-ordinator (France) for the Political Party Database Working Group, a research network that studies and gathers comparative quantitative data on the organisation of political parties across 19 countries.
I am the co-convenor of the ECPR Standing Group on Federalism and Regionalism and book review editor for Regional and Federal Studies. I am also on the editorial board of the journal Fédéralisme et Régionalisme.

Associate Professor, School of Psychology, University of Plymouth
My research focuses on the neurobiology of decision-making and learning, both in healthy adults and in patients with psychiatric disorders. After working as a biomedical engineer, developing brain-related clinical devises, I pursued an academic career in computational neuroscience at the universities of Glasgow and Oxford. My previous research focused on the proof of principle that transcranial ultrasound neuromodulation can safely and transiently change neural activity in precise parts of the brain, particularly deep regions of the brain, repsonsible for core cognitive and motivational processes. I am now working towards bringing this technology forward and apply it to mental health challenges.

Addison Wheeler Fellow in the School of Government and International Affairs , Durham University
I am an Addison Wheeler postdoctoral fellow in Government and International Affairs at the University of Durham since January 2024. My research is situated at the intersection of International Security and International Political Theory, and addresses the broad political dynamics shaping remoteness and war in global politics. My main research project engages with democratic contestation of contemporary military practices, particularly the use of military drones and military infrastructure. In addition to this project, I am currently working on a monograph titled Making War Remote, which expands on my doctoral dissertation. Furthermore, I continue to conduct research on non-state actors' use of armed drones. My full research activities can be found on my website.
Prior to my current postdoctoral fellowship, I was a MINDS-SSHRC postdoctoral fellow at the University of Ottawa, Canada. I hold a PhD in Government and International Affairs from the University of Durham and an MPhil in International Political Theory from the University of St Andrews, UK.
