Harriet is a researcher at the Oxford University FMRIB Centre (Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain). She recently moved to the UK from Australia, where she completed her PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Queensland.
Her research interests cover a diverse range of topics regarding the brain plasticity and the area of the brain that represents the body (the somatosensory system). In recent studies she has investigated how we can use training to enhance the acuity of our senses - and further - how we can alter brain plasticity to further enhance this learning process. Her work also looks at how plastic changes occur in the brain after removal of sensory input - either through amputation of a limb, anaesthetics or other interventions. Finally, how learning and plasticity can alter the balance of neural excitation and inhibition and receptive field structures.
Harriet also loves teaching, and has taught a variety of courses within The University of Queensland and Oxford University on neuroscience, physiology and psychology.

Senior Lecturer, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of York
Harriet Gray is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of York, UK. Her research interests fall within the overlapping fields of critical military studies, critical war studies, and feminist international relations. Much of Harriet’s research to date has focused on gender-based violence in armed forces and conflict spaces, where her work seeks to understand the lived experiences of victim-survivors and of perpetrators and to draw intra-active connections between multiple forms of violence from the intimate to the geopolitical. Harriet has conducted qualitative interview-based research on sexual violence and intimate partner violence in the British military, and on multiple forms of GBV in (post-)conflict settings in the African Great Lakes region. Harriet is also PI on an ESRC-funded project exploring the memorialisation of sexual violence across war and peace in the contemporary USA. This work explores the potential of public art to change the conversation around sexual violence, and the complicated politics of trying to use it to do so.
Harriet’s work has been published in journals including European Journal of International Relations, International Feminist Journal of Politics, The British Journal of Politics and International Relations, Security Dialogue, Gender, Place and Culture, and the Royal United Services Institution Journal. She is an Associate Editor of Critical Military Studies and of Political Studies.

PhD Candidate, Architectural History, The University of Edinburgh
I studied English and the History of Art at the University of Nottingham, after which I gained an MLitt from the University of St Andrews in architectural history. This led me to a career as an architectural historian. My first job was a survey of historic hospital buildings in Scotland, a two-year post funded by the Scottish Research Council which I did in 1988-90. I then worked briefly for Historic Scotland before joining the Royal Commission on the Historic Monuments of England on a national project to record hospitals. I went on to edit the resulting publication, 'English Hospitals 1660-1948', published in 1998.
Since 1992 I was based with the Survey of London, and after the hospitals project I joined the Survey team, contributing to several of their published volumes on London's urban history. I took early retirement in 2018, and decided to pursue my interest in hospital design, taking the story on beyond 1948 to investigate how hospital buildings developed under the NHS. In 2019 I was awarded an AHRC-funded scholarship by the Scottish Graduate School for Arts and Humanities to undertake a PhD at the University of Edinburgh. The subject of my doctoral research is the idea of medicine and modernity in hospital architecture in the first fifty years of the NHS in Scotland.

Assistant Professor of Health, Behavior and Society, Johns Hopkins University
Dr. Barbee (they/them) uses quantitative and qualitative methods to examine how social locations — especially gender and sexuality — influence people’s experiences of health and aging. They are particularly interested in detecting, understanding, and reducing health disparities among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) populations by studying the population's exposures to stressful life events, like discrimination, harassment, and violence. Dr. Barbee is also interested in examining interventions that can improve health and aging outcomes among LGBTQ populations.
As an interdisciplinary scholar, Dr. Barbee's research addresses a range of topics that are important to medical sociologists, gerontologists, gender and sexualities scholars, public health experts, and policy makers. For instance, they have developed innovative perspectives on timely issues that have implications for improving LGBTQ health and aging, including experiences of victimization, access to LGBTQ affirming health care, workplace stress, worries about prospective health, the medicalization of human behavior, and the emotional burdens of living in a society that assumes a gender binary.

She did her PhD at the University of New South Wales, with a focus on modern cranial shape differences around the world. She has been particularly interested in investigating the comparability of Northern Hemisphere ‘time since death’ identification methods in Australia and the impact of climate on decay and identification of bodies. She is working with the Australian Facility for Taphonomic Experimental Research (AFTER) at University of Technology Sydney to develop time since death methods which are applicable to the specific characteristics an Australian climate. Hayley is studying how bodies decompose in different microclimates and the resultant weathering patterns that can be seen on bones.
She is also investigating the use of multidisciplinary techniques to find and identify remains. This includes using analytical chemistry to identify potential chemical signatures in bone samples, which may be able to determine time since death. This has the potential to allow for identification of individuals in situations where there are multiple skeletons that may have become mixed. As well as observing physical changes to the body as it decomposes, Dr Green undertakes multidisciplinary research with collaborators in the School of Science to investigate the impact of the environment on decomposition and in turn, how the body leaves it mark on the environment.

I am an evolutionary biologist and wildlife conservationist based at the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) at the University of Kent. I completed my PhD on the evolutionary history, ancestral origins and population genetics of invasive ring-necked parakeets. I previously worked as a postdoctoral research assistant for the Seychelles Islands Foundation to determine the evolutionary distinctiveness of the Seychelles black parrot.
I am a part of Dr Jim Groombridge's genetic research group, which focuses on conservation genetics, ecological and evolutionary studies. My research interests centre around evolutionary conservation genetics, phylogenetics and biogeography in both invasive and endemic species. I use molecular DNA techniques to understand fundamental eco-evolutionary questions in invasion biology and species conservation.
My research includes evolutionary phylogenetics and biogeography of globally invasive species across large continental systems, such as the ring-necked parakeet. I am also interested in the population genetics of small, endemic island species, in particular those in the Indian Ocean islands. I have studied the endangered Seychelles black parrot and Aldabran fody. I have also worked with a number of extinct parrots, successfully extracting DNA to resolve their taxonomic affinities.
