Justin Leonard

Justin Leonard’s research interests are in bushfire mechanism interaction with infrastructure and the context of bushfire losses including community behaviour and fire fighter safety.

He heads CSIRO’s Bushfire Urban Design team, focusing on the detailed understanding of how infrastructure design and sitting influence it loss potential for various levels of fire arrival severity. Using this knowledge the team then also focuses on effective design and behavioural solutions to address these vulnerabilities.
The work is delivering risk assessment tools and urban design solutions for clients who include:

Bushfires Cooperative Research Centre (CRC)
Attorney Generals Department
Victorian Fire Services Commissioner
New South Wales Rural Fire Service
Victorian Country Fire Authority
Queensland Public Safety Business Agency
Melbourne University
Victorian Building Authority

His experience with experimental science indicates that people living in bushfire prone areas need to first accept the natural occurrence of bushfires, then effectively assess the risk these bushfires present.

Justin Quiles

Postdoctoral Scholar of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science, University of California, San Diego
Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, San Diego investigating molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial quality control. My work is focused on the role of mitochondrial import and autophagy (i.e. mitophagy) in cardiovascular disease models of protein aggregation.

Justin S. Mankin

Mankin is a climate scientist. His research on climate variability and change is motivated by the risks global warming poses to ecosystems and people. Using both observations and process-based models, his efforts focus on constraining three of the major sources of uncertainty in climate changes, past, present, and future: the chaos innate to the climate system, the complexity of how people and ecosystems induce and respond to climate stress, and how model choices influence model answers. In his previous career, Dr. Mankin worked overseas as an intelligence officer.

Justin Tetrault

Assistant Professor of Sociology and Criminology, University of Alberta
My interests concern a range of topics, especially political movements, decolonization, and prisons. I currently have two research projects. The first is my work on the University of Alberta Prison Project. Our research team interviews incarcerated people and staff about their experiences living and working inside prisons. I am currently writing about Indigenous peoples’ experiences with cultural prison programming. The second project is about Canada’s right-wing nationalist movement. My study shows how right-wing ideology and prejudice are intimately connected to mainstream Canadian culture, challenging pop media narratives that present right-wing groups as “un-Canadian”. I am also Red River Métis and working with the Indigenous Engagement Advisory Committee (IEAC) to further develop Augustana’s Indigenous studies program.

Justin de Benedictis-Kessner

Assistant Professor of Public Policy, Harvard Kennedy School
I am an Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. My current research focuses on some of the most important policy areas that concern local governments, such as housing, transportation, policing, and economic development. My research also examines how citizens hold elected officials accountable, how representation translates the public's interests into policy via elections, and how people’s policy opinions are formed and swayed. I also teach in Harvard's MPP program on politics and ethics, and lead elective courses on urban politics and policy. These classes include an experiential field lab that partners student teams with cities and towns to work on applied urban policy problems. You can view my full CV here.

My work has received the Clarence Stone Emerging Scholar Award and the Norton Long Young Scholar Award from the American Political Science Association, and has been published in peer-reviewed journals including the American Political Science Review, the Journal of Politics, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. I have also received funding for this research from the MIT Election Data + Science Lab, Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS), the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, and the Boston Area Research Initiative. Prior to joining Harvard, I was an assistant professor at Boston University, and before that a postdoctoral researcher at the Boston Area Research Initiative. I received my PhD from the Department of Political Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and my B.A. in Government and Psychology from the College of William & Mary.

Justin H. Gross

Associate Professor of Political Science and Computational Social Science, UMass Amherst
My research interests include U.S. ideologies, political communication in mass and social media, public opinion, and the intersection of identity and political beliefs. I also work on methodological problems in measurement, text analysis, and network analysis, and am especially interested in methods that put statistical and computational tools to use in service of our ability to achieve rich qualitative insights. I have published work in the American Journal of Political Science, British Journal of Political Science, Public Opinion Quarterly, and several other journals and edited volumes.

I am currently working on projects related to how media activists and politicians (opinion elites) invoke core values in order to frame arguments while at times contesting the very meanings and appropriate applications of these values. In related work, my coauthors and I are examining the processes by which extreme ideas may move from the fringe to the mainstream in contemporary U.S. political discussion. More generally, I am interested in the role of ideas in connecting political elites and the ideologically engaged public. I draw on scholarship by historians, social psychologists, and mass media & communication scholars, in addition to work by those who study political behavior and identities.
