Assistant Professor of Political Science, Loyola University Chicago
I am the Helen Houlahan Rigali Assistant Professor of Political Science at Loyola University Chicago. I previously received my Ph.D in Political Science from Northwestern University and my BA from the Ohio State University, summa cum laude in Political Science and Comparative Cultural Studies, with distinction in Political Science.
My research draws from the history of political thought, particularly in the American tradition, to investigate the consequences of digital technologies for democratic practices.
Much of our contemporary political activity occurs online; digital and social media are increasingly the spaces in which individuals create, share, and discuss content related to issues of public concern. The ways in which these sites organize users therefore have far-reaching consequences for how well we are able to engage in democratic practices--or whether we are able to at all.
Using resources from political theory, physical architecture, and computer science, I study the effects of UX design, site governance structures, and software development processes on the potential for democratic engagements both with and through digital media. As a result, my work provides insights into the ways in which we can design, build, and maintain more democratic spaces using digital technologies.
I am also actively engaged in scholarship of teaching and learning, particularly around questions of civic learning and engagement both in and outside of the classroom.

Professor of History, Trinity College
Jennifer Regan-Lefebvre is the chair of the Trinity College Department of History and a historian of modern Britain, Ireland, and British imperialism. She is the author of Imperial Wine: The British Empire and the Making of Wine's New World (University of California Press, April 2022), which won the André Simon Award. Her work combines political, economic, and cultural approaches, and puts wine history in dialogue with colonial history. She is currently co-editing the six-volume Bloomsbury Cultural History of Wine, with Charles Ludington. She is President of the Northeast Conference of British Studies.
Regan-Lefebvre's earlier work investigated the experience of the Irish in the British Empire, and particularly the intersections of nationalism, imperialism, and colonialism. Her first book was a biography of the Irish Quaker nationalist, and president of the 1894 Indian National Congress, Alfred Webb. Cosmopolitan Nationalism in the Victorian Empire revealed a strain of Irish nationalism that was globally-minded, civic, and committed to imperial reform. She also edited and published the memoirs of J. F. X. O'Brien, revealing his radical engagements in France, New Orleans, and Nicaragua before his entry into Fenian politics.
Regan-Lefebvre teaches widely across British and world history and enjoys developing new classes to stimulate students' interest in the past and to build their skills as historians and communicators. Her classes include an introductory British history survey, seminars on British cultural history, wine history, Irish history, and historical networks, and an experiential course in parliamentary debate. She has been particularly proud to supervise a number of senior thesis writers in undertaking archival research in the UK. Her former Trinity research students have gone on to pursue graduate degrees in history at Cambridge, Yale, and Carnegie Mellon.
Regan-Lefebvre has also written for Decanter and VinePair, and worked as a historical consultant for heritage and wine organizations. She teaches a free, open, online course on the history of wine, available through Trinity EdX. For her scholarship and educational impact, Regan-Lefebvre was named one of the "Future 50" of the global wine industry by the Wine and Spirits Education Trust and the International Wine and Spirits Competition in 2019. She holds a WSET Level 3 Award in Wine.

PhD Candidate, Environmental and Life Sciences, Trent University
Working under the supervision of Dr. Paul Szpak, in the Trent Environmental Archaeology Lab at Trent University, I use stable isotope analysis to reconstruct the paleoecology of circumpolar megafauna. Through comparisons of archaeological and modern samples we gain insights regarding the impacts of modern climate change. A deep-time perspective on the environment adds value to the climate discussion by establishing a baseline for ecology in an anthropogenically unaltered Arctic and allows for comparisons between modern impacts and outcomes resulting from past climate anomalies.
Prior to embarking on my PhD studies, I completed a Master's and a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology.

Jennifer Voss has been researching and teaching at DMU since 2015. In 2022, Jennifer completed her PhD in Drama and Film History; a project funded Midlands 4 Cities in partnership with the AHRC. Jennifer’s doctoral research explored women’s performances of emotion during the transition from silent to sound cinema in Britain and the US. Her work uses close performance analysis alongside archival research to offer an interdisciplinary investigation into acting training practices and women’s experiences of screen acting.
In 2023, Jennifer was awarded funding for a postdoctoral research project titled, 'Scrapbooking Screencraft: Exploring Performativity, Agency, and Women’s Screen Acting in the Archive’. This project explores the British fan-made scrapbooks of 1920s and 1930s film stars held within DMU’s Special Collections, and considers them alongside scrapbooks and ephemera held at a number of national archives. Through the creation of digital, performance-based, and site-specific exhibitions, Jennifer’s work seeks to identify, dissect and examine the performative personas of key screen actresses featured within the scrapbooks.
In addition to her academic research and teaching, Jennifer also has extensive experience working in various roles within a number of university archives, including: DMU Special Collections, Hammer Script Archive, Peter Whitehead Archive, and the Indian Cinema Archive.

Assistant Professor, Tier II Canada Research Chair in Interdisciplinary Neuroscience, Mount Saint Vincent University
Dr. Khoury is an Assistant Professor at Mount Saint Vincent University. Her research adopts an interdisciplinary and multi-method approach to understand how early life stress impacts the brain and behaviour of parents and children, at different stages of development. Early life stress encompasses circumstances such as abuse and neglect, parental mental health, and caregiving difficulties, which can adversely impact child development.
Dr. Khoury's research examines both typical and atypical development, spanning from the prenatal period to adulthood, using experimental, observational, and clinical research methods as well as meta-analyses. Much of this research includes longitudinal studies which examine neurobiological stress and emotion regulation, in parents and children. She studies stress responses primarily through physiological markers, including the stress hormone, cortisol, as well as through brain imaging techniques. Stress and emotional regulation are important contributors to child developmental outcomes, including developmental psychopathology. Thus, understanding these processes can inform research and practice to reduce adverse effects on child health and development.
