Natalia Letki

Associate professor, University of Warsaw
I have trained as a sociologist, but my research falls at the intersection of sociology, political science and psychology, as I research attitudes and behaviour towards public goods, including tax and pro-environmental behaviour and co-production, as well as policy preferences, discriminatory behaviour, social capital, social trust and corruption. I have an extensive experience in research on ethnic minorities, and party policy and electoral strategy in post-Communist countries. I am particularly interested in the conditioning effect of social and spatial context.
Methodologically, I specialize in quantitative survey research, including survey experiments. I am widely experienced in working with cross-national survey data, including survey design and implementation.

Natalie Bursztyn

Lecturer in Geosciences, University of Montana
I have a passion for finding creative ways to teach and communicate the importance of geology – its application in everyday life, for inspiring students to explore their environment, and for encouraging their natural awe and respect for the Earth. I have a broad range of geologic interests ranging from broad-scale landscape evolution and sustainability to public science communication and wine and terroir. I am passionate about employing creative ways to communicate the importance and value of scientific understanding in everyday life and how critical it is that we as a species embrace sustainable practices now.



My recent research has focused on geoscience education, especially assessing the efficacy of pedagogic tools ranging from analog models of Earth systems to the integration of smart technology and augmented reality in learning experiences. My experience in post-secondary education has been driven by my passion for engaging and educating my diverse student body equally.

Natasha Erlank

Professor of History, University of Johannesburg
BA (Hons) MA University of Cape Town. PhD Cambridge University.

I trained as an historian, doing my undergraduate, honours and master sdegrees at the University of Cape Town (UCT). My doctorate was completed at Cambridge University.

To date, my research interests have focused on the history of the relationship between gender and mainline African Christianity, within the broader context of colonialism. This work has just been published as Convening Black Intimacy: Christianity, Gender, and Tradition in Early-Twentieth Century South Africa (Johannesburg: Wits University Press, 2022).

My new work is on the history of reproductive health in Africa between the 1940s and the 1990s. This work takes a comparative look at how birth control policies were rolled out across a range of different and newly-independent nation states, and about the ways in which Africans resisted and adopted the agendas of foreign donor agencies in this regard.

After brief teaching stints at UCT and Rhodes University, I have been lecturing and researching at the University of Johannesburg since 1999. From 2007 to 2010 I directed the Centre for Culture and Languages in Africa. In 2011 I moved to head up Historical Studies at UJ, a position I held for five years. I am currently a professor in the department, where I have a particular interest and expertise in supervising and mentoring postgraduates. I am also a senior research associate at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada.

Honorary Research Fellow, Department of Classics and Archaeology, University of Nottingham
I have recently finished my doctoral research at the University of Nottingham, funded by the AHRC and the Midlands3Cities Doctoral Training Partnership. I previously attained a BA (Hons) in Archaeology, Anthropology and Art History and an MA in Cultural Heritage at the University of East Anglia. I am currently employed as a Research Fellow on the AHRC/EPSRC funded Caistor Immersive Experience project, developing an Augmented Reality app for the Roman town. I have recently completed the Associate Teacher Programme to become an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and work as a Teaching Affiliate at the University of Nottingham. I am also a Reviews co-editor for the Britannia archaeology journal. My professional career, including a strong museums background and work with Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) data, has given me an understanding of the theoretical and practical issues surrounding the collection and interpretation of small finds. Working with local archaeological groups has provided me with an excellent knowledge of regional material culture. I have also volunteered with the PASt Explorers and Nottingham Young Archaeologists' Club, as well as running schools' outreach in Norfolk and Nottinghamshire. I have taken an active role in fieldwalking, excavation and finds processing at the civitas capital of Venta Icenorum (Caistor St Edmund) with the Caistor Roman Project (CRP) over the past twelve years. Since 2010, I have been investigating the 1929-35 excavations of Donald Atkinson at Caistor, in partnership with Norfolk Museums Service (NMS) and CRP. Oral history interviews are another project which I have been carrying out over the past several years with key figures in the archaeology of Norfolk. I have extended this to explore the personal stories, opinions and behaviour of metal-detectorists, who play an important role in recovering many of the objects in my study.
