Laura Goldblatt
Assistant Professor of English, University of Virginia
Laura Goldblatt is a literary and cultural studies scholar of state propaganda and material culture in the twentieth-century United States. Additionally, she has written about the university as a critical site of activist intervention and the impact of its built environment and labor practices on local housing markets and economic precarity. Her peer-reviewed work has appeared in or is forthcoming in Mississippi Quarterly, the Journal of American Studies, Social Text, Winterthur Portfolio, Pedagogy, Works and Days, and an edited volume about the August 12th, 2017 violence in Charlottesville. She is currently at work on two monographs. The first, After Destiny: Propaganda, Settler Colonialism, and Community, explores the reception of state-sponsored reproductions of literary and popular texts about U.S. national expansion that were used for propagandistic purposes. Yet rather than focusing on the formal features of the artifacts themselves, she examines their use value for groups dispossessed by the logic of late capitalism, such as Native and Black Americans, during the long twentieth century. Additionally, along with Professor of Anthropology Richard Handler, she is writing a monography about twentieth-century U.S. postage stamps that takes moral circulation as its theme.

Laura Tensen
Post-doctoral Fellow, University of Copenhagen
My great passion has always been nature conservation. I started my career off by studying wildlife management, followed by an MSc in ecology. During my BSc I was involved with a project on jaguar predation in Brazil, the impact of deforestation on mammal diversity in Paraguay, and the effect of habitat fragmentation on lynx distribution in Poland. During my MSc I changed my focus to Africa, a territory yet unknown to me. I initiated a study on the population structure of leopards in South Africa, and became involved with a project on the genetic uniqueness of West-Central African lions. This inspired me to move to South Africa, where I started a PhD on the conservation and genetics of African wild dogs.
For my doctorate I mainly studied the impact of habitat fragmentation on the genetic viability of wild dogs in Zimbabwe and South Africa, using mtDNA and microsatellite markers. During this time, I met many biologists in South Africa with the same interests as me, which led to new ideas and fresh projects. These formed the foundation of a postdoctoral position at the Centre for Ecological Genomics and Wildlife Conservation, University of Johannesburg. After these fruitful years I moved to Germany, for a postdoc position at the University of Koblenz, followed by a position at the University of Copenhagen. My research mainly focuses on the interface between carnivore ecology and landscape genomics, with a particular interest in identifying the effects of anthropogenic stresses such as hunting and habitat loss.
I have recently also gained an interest in using colour polymorphism to test evolutionary genetic theories, including the influence of heterozygosity deficiency, as well as in hybrid swamping and speciation. The impact of hybridization in the wild is still poorly understood, even though it is an important evolutionary force with significant implications for species conservation. Together with collaborators, we have developed genetic guidelines for conservation translocations, to provide managers with a simple decision-tree on how to adopt the best strategy when the aim is to maintain intraspecific genetic variation.

Associate Professor of Applied Social Sciences, Case Western Reserve University
Dr. Voith has worked over the last decade to address violence against women and youth through counseling, agency- and community-based coordination efforts, and research.
Her research focuses on the prevention and intervention of violence against women by working with boys and men to uncover the etiology of violence though the lens of trauma and health disparities. Her research shows that exposure to adversity and violence in family- and community-settings in childhood and adolescence are significant factors that, if gone unaddressed, can lead men to perpetrate violence in adulthood. Dr. Voith’s research aims to inform the development and evaluation of violence prevention programs with at-risk youth and improve batterer intervention programming with men.
