PhD Candidate, Communication Studies, Université de Lorraine
Lucas is a PhD student in communication studies at Université de Lorraine's CREM (Center of Recherche on Mediation) laboratory and at Université de Liège's Liège Game Lab. He studies the issues of territory through the narrative universe of video games, and tackles how video games' rules convey meanings about the relationship between humans and their living space and environment.
His PhD focuses on how maps, and the way they represent territories, are reappropriated in video game language. He is building a methodology for the case analysis of video game maps, which will enable people to better understand how maps help frame the gaming experience. He studies how developers create maps for their games and how players use the word "map" and to what specific element of the gamespace they refer to. His PhD study is focused on the analysis of the Japanese game licence Monster Hunter and how its map' system has evolved through its different titles.
His background is in literature and communication sciences. He completed a master's degree in literature at the University of Aix-Marseille, then a master's degree in communication' sciences at the University of Lorraine.

Assistant Professor of Engineering, George Mason University
Lucas Henneman’s research focuses on air pollution and health. He is most interested in telling success stories—for example, about how environmental regulations have improved our air quality and health—and the opportunities to create more success stories by identifying air pollution sources that make people sick. His day-to-day research leverages large datasets and computer models to track pollution after it’s emitted to where it is breathed in by people like us. For example, he found that emission reductions at coal power plants over the last twenty years have left the entire country healthier and increased life expectancy.
Henneman studied environmental engineering through his PhD and then landed a job in public health right after graduation. Through the experience, he learned the importance of communicating complex environmental phenomena to a multidisciplinary audience. He is passionate about giving students the tools they’ll need to measure, model, and communicate information about the environment so that they can lead the world to a healthier future.

Professor in Environment and Society, University of Leeds
Prof. Lucie Middlemiss is Professor of Environment and Society in the Sustainability Research Institute, at the University of Leeds in the UK. She wrote the first textbook on Sustainable Consumption (Routledge, 2018), and has research interests in sustainable consumption, energy poverty and participation in sustainable development. Her research on energy poverty brings together qualitative insights into the lived experience (including the first paper to use this term in 2015), with critical policy analysis (notably a critique of English policy in this area in 2017). She is motivated by connecting deep understandings of energy consumption in daily life, with planning, measuring, monitoring and decision-making by policy-makers and practitioners. In more recent work, she has led a team conducting secondary qualitative analysis of lived experience data (2019 and 2020), resulting in insights into the importance of social relations in energy consumption (see also 2020 in Nature Energy). She was also part of a team which produced a white paper on energy poverty for the Netherlands in 2020: translating state of the art academic thinking on this topic into concrete policy recommendations. She is currently working on three projects: Wellbased, a EU project on health and energy poverty, Whole Person Whole Place, looking at the role of social relations in energy renovation, and Understanding Family and Community vulnerability in the transition to Net Zero.

Research Associate at the Centre for Family Research, University of Cambridge
As a Research Associate at the Centre for Family Research at the University of Cambridge, I conduct and coordinate studies that focus on family relationships and psychological well-being.
My research has focused on families created through assisted reproductive technologies, such as sperm donation, egg donation, and surrogacy. I have explored how parents explain their use of donor eggs, sperm or surrogates, to their young children. I have also examined how children think and feel about their families.
More recently, my research has focused on the breakdown of family relationships, sometimes referred to as family estrangement. This relatively common phenomenon has received little research attention. The aim of my research is to expand upon what we know about the causes, processes and consequences of relationship breakdown between family members, and to explore how estrangement affects and influences psychological well-being.
I am committed to conducting high quality research on families that is of use to policy makers, practitioners, and families themselves. There is a lot to gain from moving beyond assumptions and studying families as they actually are.

Senior lecturer in History and History of Art, University of Bristol
I work within and between the disciplines of History and History of Art, specialising in visual and material culture. My research interests lie in medieval perceptions of place, with particular reference to Italy and its relationships with the wider Mediterranean region and transalpine Europe.
My previous research primarily focused on sacred space, especially the creation, use, and decoration of holy ground. My book Standing on Holy Ground in the Middle Ages (Cornell University Press / Combined Academic Publishers) examines themes such as the phenomenon of holy footprints, the liturgical shaping of consecrated space, and the design and function of ecclesiastical floor decoration. I have a related interest in medieval cartography and co-edited with Dr Hanna Vorholt (University of York) a volume of essays on maps of Jerusalem: Imagining Jerusalem in the Medieval West. I have also published on the representation of subterranean environments in religious art from regions specialising in mining and have been involved in collaborative research on cultural responses to seismic activity.
My current research explores the materiality and portability of place as this was exemplified by the symbolic movement of soil. The main project explores spiritual, political, and environmental connotations of moving earth to and from the city of Rome during the Middle Ages and early modern period. I am also interested in understandings of soil and the environment within the medieval Islamic world and in modern uses of earth in contexts of commemoration and migration.
I am a member of the University of Bristol Centre for Medieval Studies, the Centre for Environmental Humanities, and Migration Mobilities Bristol.
My research interests inform my teaching for the History and History of Art departments. I contribute to a number of team-taught units including Episodes in Global Visual Culture, The Medieval World, Crusading Cultures, and Wild Things. I teach History of Art units on Artistic Exchange in the Mediterranean and Vision, and a History unit on Travel and Trade in the Global Middle Ages. I also co-teach an interdisciplinary unit on The Italian City with colleagues from History of Art and the Department of Italian.

She is concerned with how our living identity is informed and how it defines or affects future living. Through analysing the act of movement and dwelling, she intends to create environments that encourage an investment of time and a sense of enquiry or promote activity. She recently spoke at a AMPS conference with Stephen Broadbent on the paper 'Encapsualting memorry to forge future identities.'
