Joseph Soares
Professor of Sociology, Wake Forest University
Joseph A. Soares is a professor of sociology at Wake Forest University. His book, "The Power of Privilege" (Stanford University Press 2007) was instrumental to Wake Forest’s decision to go test-optional in admissions. He organized a national conference on “rethinking admissions” at Wake Forest in April 2009, involving admissions deans and researchers from many universities, including Berkeley, Duke, Georgia, Harvard, Howard, Texas, Virginia, and Yale. Soares has presented his critical findings on standardized tests and college admissions at regional and national conferences of the Association of College Counselors in Independent Schools, the College Board, the Southern Association for College Admission Counseling, and to the National Association for College Admission Counseling. An earlier book on universities in the UK, "The Decline of Privilege" (Stanford University Press 1999) won a national award from the American Sociological Association. In graduate school at Harvard University, Soares was a Krupp Fellow of the Center for European Studies; a US Congress Jacob Javits Fellow; and a Visiting Fellow at Nuffield College, Oxford University. Before moving to Wake Forest, Soares taught as a Lecturer at Harvard and was an assistant and associate professor of Sociology at Yale. For most of 2008, he was a member of the national education policy group for Barack Obama’s campaign for US President. His most recent book is an edited collection, "SAT WARS: The Case for Test-Optional Admissions," Teachers College Press, 2012. In 2012 and 2013, the New York Times recommended "SAT WARS" as one of its top ten books for summer reading on college issues.

Distribute research findings in a timely manner, using multiple mediums and outlets
Increase the extent to which practice is informed by research
Encourage policy change and funding programs informed by current research and knowledge

Josephine Maltby
Josephine is a chartered accountant. She was a senior manager with Ernst & Young, working principally in audit, until 1987, when she became a lecturer in Accounting at the University of Sheffield, leaving in 2008 to take a chair in Accounting and Finance at the University of York. She returned to Sheffield in 2014.
Her work addresses a number of related issues:
Financial Reporting, Governance and Audit
I have written extensively on the closely related development of these three issues, in work on the 19th-century development of the accounting profession and of accounting regulation, and on the governance of UK companies from the early 20th century onwards.
Savings Banks
I am now (with Linda Perriton, York) exploring the use of savings banks (SBs) in the UK c1830 onwards. The SBs were designed explicitly to promote working-class thrift for the long-term: results to date suggest more varied behaviour and, again, significant departures from patriarchal dominance of family finances. See https://voice.adobe.com/a/1edGB for an outline. The 19th century use of SBs by the elite can, I suggest, be linked with 21st century neo-liberal attempts to promote financial 'responsibilisation' via savings. In addition to archival work, I am exploring the relationship between current and historic arguments for the need for individual thrift rather than state support. This is linked with my work on:
Charity and financialisation
The 19th century was a period in which traditional models of charity were challenged. Under the new 'business-like' model, applicants for help were closely monitored to ensure that they were likely to be efficient in their use of it. I plan for work on this (with Janette Rutterford, OU) to form the basis of a more extensive study of the current role of financialisation of the charitable/third sector.
Narrative reporting
This has been a subject of continuing interest for me, involving but not limited to, work on the history of social reporting. Narrative reporting has been a significant feature of financial statements for much of the 20th century, deployed as needed by companies in the face of different crises, and that modern reporting needs to be viewed in this context. Recent work with Abdelrehim (York) and Toms (Leeds) has addressed these issues.

Lecturer in Education, Federation University Australia
Josh is a lecturer in the Institute of Education, Arts and Community at Federation University. His teaching interests include outdoor education, science education and professional practice. Josh's research focuses on different models of teaching and learning in middle years education. Josh uses the arts-based methodology of poetic inquiry within his research. Josh has worked in several P-12 school contexts across Government, Independent and Catholic sectors. Josh is also heavily involved in multiple professional associations related to his work in the outdoor and broader education sectors. His contributions to these groups involve: speaking, professional writing and advisory panel membership. Josh has also served on multiple advisory panels related to outdoor education curriculum at both a state and federal level.
Areas of expertise
(1) Year nine- and middle-years programs
Josh’s research on year nine programs has focused on how current programs utilise curriculum and pedagogy to engage students at these year levels in schooling and the barriers that schools face in developing and maintaining these programs.
(2) Arts-based methodologies
In his research, Josh uses arts-based methodologies as non-representational ways of understanding, deconstructing and representing what is happening in middle years programs. Within his doctorate, Josh employed three different forms of poetic inquiry to 'understand' and 'deconstruct' what was happening in the context examined.
(3) Educational policy
Josh has a strong interest in educational policy. In particular, those related to both curriculum and outdoor activities.
(4) Outdoor education curriculum
Josh strongly advocates for the inclusion of outdoor education in the curriculum. He has undertaken several roles for the VCAA and ACARA around projects to update the curriculum in this area.

Josh Kohut
Professor of Marine and Coastal Sciences, Rutgers University
Physical processes in the coastal ocean are highly variable in space and time and play a critical role in coupled biological and chemical processes. From events lasting several hours to days on through inter-annual and decadal scales, the variability in the fluid itself structures marine ecological systems. My approach is to apply ocean observing technologies that now sample across these important time and space scales to better understand the physical ocean that structures marine ecosystems. I am involved in many research and education programs that range in scope from storm intensity, offshore wind, and local water quality monitoring off the NJ coast; regional fisheries along the US east coast; and environmental studies of polar ecosystems in the coastal waters surrounding Antarctica. Consequently, this new knowledge has relevancy to broader stakeholder communities with interests in the coastal ocean. Working through partnerships across these stakeholder groups, my research is collaborative and supports both science and application. Through these partnerships I am able to frame relevant scientific hypotheses and efficiently translate the output to better management and monitoring.
Growing up in New Jersey, my interest in the physics of the ocean began along the shores of Barnegat Bay. After receiving my Bachelor’s degree in Physics at the College of Charleston in Charleston, SC, I returned to New Jersey and began my research career at Rutgers. Now I look forward to addressing new science and, working through partnerships, translating that science into applications that benefit the many stakeholders with interests in the coastal ocean.

Josh Lepawsky
Full Professor of Geography, Memorial University of Newfoundland
I research the geographies of discards as well as those of maintenance and repair. Today's discards are synthetic, heterogeneous, and entail high degrees of indeterminacy around their mitigation or remediation. Maintenance and repair, although essential to the smooth functioning of socioeconomic life, have until quite recently, been relegated to the margins of social science research.
Questions that inform my research include where and how are contemporary discards made? Where do they travel and where do their effects accumulate? Who gets what discards, where, how, and under what conditions? I am also interested in how maintenance and repair, broadly conceived, might offer both literal and figurative lessons for figuring out how to live well together in permanently polluted and always breaking worlds.
