Adjunct assistant professor, Institute of Education Sciences, Universidad de O’Higgins (Chile)
His research seeks to understand reasoning based on analogies and the role of relational processing in learning. Attracted by the field of exact sciences, he studied Computer Engineering and Mathematical Engineering where he obtained recognition as one of the best students of his career. In his doctoral thesis he built a mathematical model that describes a cognitive mechanism called "analogy." This mechanism is used by the human mind to make comparisons between two entities in a very flexible way. His current research is aimed at the application of this mechanism to the development of technology in the educational area.

Professor of Sociology, Washington University in St Louis
Jake Rosenfeld's research and teaching focus on the political and economic determinants of inequality in the United States and other advanced democracies. He is primarily interested in the determinants of wages and salaries, and how these vary across time and place. He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University.
Rosenfeld's 2014 book What Unions No Longer Do (Harvard University Press) shows in detail the consequences of labor’s decline: curtailed advocacy for better working conditions, weakened support for immigrants’ economic assimilation, and ineffectiveness in addressing wage stagnation among African-Americans. The book has received wide attention in the national press and in such outlets as The New Yorker and Harvard Business Review.
His 2021 book, You're Paid What You’re Worth and Other Myths of the Modern Economy (Harvard University Press), seeks to answer the basic question: who gets what and why? He argues that four dynamics are paramount: power, inertia, mimicry, and demands for equity. Power struggles legitimize pay for particular jobs, and organizational inertia makes that pay seem natural. Mimicry encourages employers to do what peers are doing. And workers are on the lookout for practices that seem unfair. Rosenfeld shows us how these dynamics play out in real-world settings, drawing on cutting-edge social science, original survey data, and a journalistic eye for compelling stories and revealing details. The book has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Harvard Business Review.

Lecturer in Literature, University of Essex
I have written widely in creative non-fiction forms and taught on the MA in Wild Writing at the University of Essex since its inception in 2009. I have run many workshops to encourage writing on nature and landscape, and worked on Radio 4 detailing the writing and landscapes of Essex such as for ‘Something Understood’ on John Clare and Epping Forest (August 2014) and ‘Open Country’ on Tollesbury Wick and literary Essex (November 2015).
My books include Out of Essex: Re-Imagining a Literary Landscape (2013) which was inspired by rural wanderings in the county and Ancient Wonderings: Journeys into Prehistoric Britain (2017) that tells some remarkable tales of life in ancient Britain. The Oak Papers (2020) – Radio 4’s Book of the Week – explores some of the ties between humans and oaks since prehistory, meditating on our need to connect with the natural world. My latest book, Grounded (Canongate, 2023) tells of rediscovering the most sacred spaces in our landscapes – both natural sites and human places – seeing the lessons we can learn from our ancestors and their relationship with the land. My forthcoming book, Renaturing (due out March 2025) investigates ways of democratising rewilding, how we can all be involved in nature restoration.

Senior Research Associate (Psychology), Lancaster University
At the broadest level, my research is concerned with the cognitive and cultural factors that inform how human beings think about, create and communicate representations. In this regard, it cuts across both the humanities and the social sciences. Methodologically, I am very interested in how quantitative and experimental methods can be applied to qualitative cultural and linguistic data (and particularly to 'big' data). To date, I have published on a wide variety of subjects, including experimental psychology, literary studies, anthropology, cultural studies, mythology, social media and linguistics.
I have graduate degrees in discourse linguistics, literary studies and philosophy; I have also held competitively awarded fellowships in the form of a Junior Research Fellowship (Linacre College, Oxford) and a Marie Curie Fellowship (Department of Experimental Psychology, Oxford).

Land plants (embryophytes) have undergone a series of whole genome duplication (palaeopolyploidy) events throughout their evolution, sparking a series of hypotheses relating major innovations and diversification to genome duplication. The purpose of my research is to explore the placement and timing of these duplications across the plant phylogeny and to test any causal hypotheses relating to the evolution of plant complexity.

Associate Professor of the Oxford Skeletal Ageing and Regeneration Group, University of Oxford
James Edwards leads the Skeletal Ageing and Regeneration research group at the University of Oxford. This work is focused upon revealing causes of ageing-related skeletal decline and exploring novel approaches to better treat the consequences of musculoskeletal ageing.
Prof Edwards graduated from Wadham College, University of Oxford with a D.Phil (Ph.D.) from the Medical Sciences Division, Nuffield Dept. of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences after completing research work studying bone tumour pathology and TNF-family ligands in the bone remodelling process. This was followed by cellular, molecular and pre-clinical research at the University of Texas Health Science Centre at San Antonio, and later as part of the founding research team at the Vanderbilt Centre for Bone Biology. During this time Prof Edwards developed a strong research theme investigating links between ageing and longevity mechanisms and the onset of musculoskeletal disease, with work recognised with ASBMR, ECTS and IBMS awards. This ongoing work forms the basis of the Oxford Skeletal Ageing and Regeneration group, which aims to understand the causes of age-related skeletal decline and better address the consequences of such disorders. In recent years, this has included the study of sirtuin biology in musculoskeletal tissues and how the acetylation status of key intracellular proteins fine tunes normal cell biology and function with increasing age, how the cellular recycling process of autophagy declines in ageing cartilage and can be activated to protect against arthritis disease, and how novel degradable alloys can improve fracture healing and bone repair.
The Oxford Musculoskeletal Ageing group has been funded by awards from Arthritis Research UK, Medical Research Council, Wellcome Trust, Orthopaedic Research UK, NC3Rs and through industry collaborations.
