Justin de Benedictis-Kessner
Assistant Professor of Public Policy, Harvard Kennedy School
I am an Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. My current research focuses on some of the most important policy areas that concern local governments, such as housing, transportation, policing, and economic development. My research also examines how citizens hold elected officials accountable, how representation translates the public's interests into policy via elections, and how people’s policy opinions are formed and swayed. I also teach in Harvard's MPP program on politics and ethics, and lead elective courses on urban politics and policy. These classes include an experiential field lab that partners student teams with cities and towns to work on applied urban policy problems. You can view my full CV here.
My work has received the Clarence Stone Emerging Scholar Award and the Norton Long Young Scholar Award from the American Political Science Association, and has been published in peer-reviewed journals including the American Political Science Review, the Journal of Politics, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. I have also received funding for this research from the MIT Election Data + Science Lab, Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS), the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, and the Boston Area Research Initiative. Prior to joining Harvard, I was an assistant professor at Boston University, and before that a postdoctoral researcher at the Boston Area Research Initiative. I received my PhD from the Department of Political Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and my B.A. in Government and Psychology from the College of William & Mary.

Justin H. Gross
Associate Professor of Political Science and Computational Social Science, UMass Amherst
My research interests include U.S. ideologies, political communication in mass and social media, public opinion, and the intersection of identity and political beliefs. I also work on methodological problems in measurement, text analysis, and network analysis, and am especially interested in methods that put statistical and computational tools to use in service of our ability to achieve rich qualitative insights. I have published work in the American Journal of Political Science, British Journal of Political Science, Public Opinion Quarterly, and several other journals and edited volumes.
I am currently working on projects related to how media activists and politicians (opinion elites) invoke core values in order to frame arguments while at times contesting the very meanings and appropriate applications of these values. In related work, my coauthors and I are examining the processes by which extreme ideas may move from the fringe to the mainstream in contemporary U.S. political discussion. More generally, I am interested in the role of ideas in connecting political elites and the ideologically engaged public. I draw on scholarship by historians, social psychologists, and mass media & communication scholars, in addition to work by those who study political behavior and identities.

His scholarship—intersecting sociology, political science, and education—has been widely published in both English and German, earning recognition on both sides of the Atlantic. His numerous awards include the Irving K. Zola Award from the Society for Disability Studies in 2006 for Barriers to Inclusion: Special Education in the US and Germany (Routledge), analyzing the development of special and inclusive education systems cross-nationally. Powell’s dedication to advancing the comparative study of education system institutionalization is reflected in his co-authored volume Comparing Special Education: Origins to Contemporary Paradoxes (Stanford University Press, 2011), which received the Outstanding Book Award from the American Educational Research Association (Division B) in 2012. His collaborative work on The Century of Science: The Global Triumph of the Research University (Emerald, 2017) earned multiple accolades, including the Association for the Study of Higher Education’s Award for Significant Research on International Higher Education. More recently, he co-edited numerous books and co-authored European Educational Research (Re)Constructed: Institutional Change in Germany, the United Kingdom, Norway and the European Union (Symposium, 2018) and Global Mega-Science: Universities, Research Collaborations, and Knowledge Production (Stanford University Press, 2024).
An alumnus of Swarthmore College (BA, with distinction in sociology/anthropology), Powell pursued graduate studies in political science and sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Humboldt University of Berlin (MA, with distinction), culminating in his doctorate (Dr. phil., sociology, summa cum laude) from the Free University Berlin.
Before his appointment at the University of Luxembourg in 2012, Powell taught at several leading German universities, including Göttingen, Hanover, and the Free University Berlin. Since, he has held visiting international research and lecturer positions across Europe, including the University of Oxford (England), Bielefeld and Institute for Higher Education Research Halle-Wittenberg (Germany), Gothenburg (Sweden), and Zurich (Switzerland).

Kaitlyn O'Mara
Research Fellow, Australian Rivers Institute, Griffith University
Kaitlyn is an aquatic ecologist that uses tracers to study food webs and movement of fish and other aquatic organisms, working across a range of environments including estuaries, rivers and wetlands. Kaitlyn's research explores many aspects of fish nutrition, identifying food sources and environments that are important for fish to acquire the nutrients they need to grow and reproduce. Her research uses a whole-ecosystem approach, starting from nutrients, trace elements and other substances in the environment, through the food web to fish and other consumers. The outcomes of her work increase understanding of how aquatic organisms are influenced by their environment and how they will respond to change, such as new water resource developments, contamination from expanding human populations, and increased extreme events such as floods that may result from climate change. This new knowledge informs conservation and environmental management practices.

Kangacepe Zulu
I am a PhD student at the University of Bolton, undertaking a doctoral degree by research. I am analyzing state and non-state actors' approaches to climate change interventions in Zambia. Basically trying to investigate the stakeholder-coordination nexus and bring out valuable lessons for public policy, in general, and Africa's sustainability in view of climate change, specifically.
My current field of work revolves around development planning and public policy. But I have an interest in other topical issues such as politics (and the science behind it) and media.
I am also a Theologian in the making. Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary, USA, was gracious enough to offer me a distance learning opportunity; so I am slowly chasing after an MA in Systematic Theology.
I hope I haven't forgotten to also mention that I am a trained computer programmer... I am supposed to get machines to do stuff for us. But haven't done much programming in recent years!
