Matthieu Weiss-Blais

Étudiant la maîtrise en biologie, Université Laval
Je réalise actuellement une maîtrise en biologie à l'Université Laval, où je me penche sur la prédation du renard arctique sur les nids d'oies des neiges. À partir d'observations comportementales et d'expériences sur le terrain nous vérifions des hypothèses concernant les mécanismes influençant la force de l'interaction de prédation.

Le baccalauréat en biologie à l'Université du Québec à Montréal, m'a permis de participer durant deux étés à des études sur la faune cavicole en Abitibi. Les projets étaient surtout centrés sur le Grand pic et les utilisateurs secondaires des cavités qu'il creuse dans les arbres.

Mattias Frihammar

Associate Professor of Ethnology, Stockholm University
Reader/associate professor in ethnology with an interest in collective memory processes, difficult cultural heritage and issues at the intersection between nature and culture. Coordinate the Critical Heritage Studies Network (CHSN) at Stockholms universitet. In my thesis, I analyzed social hierarchies in (re)production of contemporary royalty in Sweden. By studying arenas where royalty was present, I showed how social authority was pruduced at the intersection between notions of exclusivity and commonness. The analysis also demonstrated the symbolic and actual importance of the material in the exercise of power, and how rituals forms social superiority.

Mauricio A. Garcia-Barrera

Associate Professor of Psychology, University of Victoria
I am a native of Medellin, Colombia. After completing my bachelor’s degree in psychology at the University of Antioquia, I relocated to Georgia (US), where I obtained my Master’s (2005) and PhD (2008) in Psychology (School Psychology/Developmental Neuropsychology emphasis) at the University of Georgia. I am now an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Victoria (BC, Canada), which I joined in 2008. At UVic, I created the CORTEX lab [www.cortex.uvic.ca], a research lab specialized in the study of the neural and behavioural foundations of executive functioning. I am now the Associate Dean Research and Graduate Studies for the Faculty of Social Sciences. I also serve as Associate Editor of the APA journal Psychological Assessment and I am the past President of the Latin American Association of Neuropsychology (2018-2021). My research focuses on the study of executive functioning, our ability to problem-solve, make decisions, and organize cognitive processes towards achieving a goal. I have a particular interest in the psychometric assessment of executive function, but most of my research focuses on clinical events or environmental variables that may modify the lifespan development of this self-regulatory capacity, such as the effects of positive life experiences ranging from sports participation and leadership-based employment to negative experiences such as brain injury (e.g., sports concussions, hypoxic/anoxic brain damage associated with synthetic drug overdose), the experience of war, and the intersections between brain injury, mental health, and addictions.

Maxim Bolt

Associate Professor of Development Studies, University of Oxford
Maxim Bolt is also a research associate at the Wits Institute for Social and Economic Research (WISER), University of the Witwatersrand. He is an anthropologist working largely on questions of economy in southern Africa.

Maxim's earlier research was on South Africa’s border with Zimbabwe, between 2006 and 2008, during acute economic and political troubles in Zimbabwe. It focused on the border farms, their black workforces and their white landowners in this context of crisis, upheaval and displacement. The monograph that emerged from this research - Zimbabwe's Migrants and South Africa's Border Farms: The Roots of Impermanence (Cambridge University Press and Wits University Press) - won the 2016 British Sociological Association / BBC Thinking Allowed Ethnography Award.

Maxim now researches property inheritance, the state and class reproduction in Johannesburg, South Africa. In the post-apartheid era, making wills has taken on new significance amidst middle-class expansion and the rapid proliferation of financial services. Meanwhile, most people die intestate, their relatives confronted with unfamiliar rules about which relatives officially matter. The project explores the institutions and disputes surrounding urban inheritance, connecting socio-economic position to kinship, property, and legal and bureaucratic processes. As more South Africans accumulate substantial property, its disbursement becomes a new terrain on which battles of kinship obligation are fought.
