Nathan Aaron Kerrigan
Nathan Kerrigan is a Research Assistant at Coventry University. He uses ethnographic approaches to explore a number of issues around identity, community and exclusion. This research tends to examine the ways rural identities are maintained and protected from wider social pressures such as urbanisation, neoliberal expansion and population growth. In this, he has focussed on the ways in which prejudices, such as racism, against minority ethnic groups are worked up as unintended consequences.

Nathan Bossoh
Research Fellow in History, University of Southampton
Nathan earned his PhD in History and Philosophy of Science from UCL in 2022, is a Research Associate at the London Science Museum, and a Research Fellow in History at Southampton University. In broad terms his research situates around the intersecting themes of empire, race, and religion as entangled operations in the historical production and transmission of science, medicine and museums. A core component of his work explores the ways in which African knowledge and practice, as well as European perceptions of Africanness, influenced and shaped numerous historical developments in science, medicine, and Western museums. His main period of interest is roughly 1750 to the present, and regionally he focuses on Britain and West Africa but has secondary interests in modern Japan as well. Nathan utilises postcolonial, decolonial, and material cultural approaches, and as an applied historian engaged in interdisciplinary research he actively draws on perspectives gathered from a range of fields including science and religion; science and technology studies; environmental humanities; African studies; and museum studies.

Authorship Attribution in Early Modern Drama: A survey of the Shakespeare Apocrypha
My interest is in stylometry — the science of measuring writing styles — and it how can be best applied to the diverse field of Early Modern English.
My research examines the Shakespeare apocrypha, a group of 17th Century plays published under Shakespeare’s name, but which have historically been regarded as containing little-to-none of his writing. By developing a new suite of stylometry software alongside my studies, my hope is to glean new insight into the authorship of these texts, while creating a set of tools that can be easily circulated to other researchers, or students, who are interested in studying authorship.

Nathan Einbinder
Senior Research Fellow in Agroecology, School of Biological and Marine Sciences, University of Plymouth
My background is in agroecology and human geography. For the past 15 years I have worked in the Maya-Achí territory in Guatemala, researching traditional agriculture and community development, and accompanying farmers organisations working to restore agroecological practices and the local food system.
My work here began as a human rights observer. I also belonged to a group of academics studying some of the problems that were developing from international projects in indigenous areas, including mining, hydroelectric schemes and other infrastructure. My master’s research concerned the displacement of indigenous people and violence committed against them. My interests soon led me towards farming and food systems.
Through a university in Mexico called El Colegio de la Frontera Sur, I conducted my PhD investigating the motivations for adoption and maintaining agroecological practices in the Maya-Achi territory.

Nathaniel Johnson1
Assistant Professor of Nutrition and Dietetics, University of North Dakota
I received my doctorate only a year ago in Nutrition and Exercise Sciences. My dissertation focused on protein intake and muscle health. I have two-years of experience working a biomedical engineering laboratory, and five-years of experience as a research assistant for the Department of Health, Nutrition, and Exercise Sciences. Despite having limited time with my doctorate, I have completed an eclectic range of research projects including four clinical trials, several cross-sectional human cohort studies, two analyses of large, publicly available data, three reviews, and other benchwork projects, including those using qPCR, fluorescence microscopy, and lithography which was done in a clean room. I have published 13 research papers including 6 as the first or last author. Moreover, I accomplished these activities despite severe disability; I have had more surgeries than can be counted on one’s hands and am currently suffering from a surgical complication that results in severe pain, abdominal cramping, and nausea. As the founder and organizer of the UND Affinity Group for Faculty and Staff with Disabilities and Chronic Conditions, I am passionate about nutrition, disability, and equity.
My contributions to science revolve around dietary intake, muscle health, and disability. My early research was largely focused on muscle health and disability and not dietary intake. This research agenda led to several impactful findings: (1) handgrip strength is associated with a host of negative health outcomes including disability, mortality, and cognitive impairment; (2) excess sleep time is associated with disability; (3) asymmetric handgrip strength (i.e., one hand being stronger than the other) is also related to disability.
After examining muscle health and disability, my research shifted to investigate the impacts of dietary intake on muscle health. This avenue of research led to following discoveries: (1) evenness of dietary protein intake is associated with increased muscle mass, strength, and endurance; (2) animal-based protein intake was related to increased muscle mass and strength in middle-aged men and women, while not being a risk factor for metabolic syndrome in women; (3) time restricted feeding resulted in better body composition than continuous energy restriction. I also investigated the use of a novel miRNA sensor’s ability to measure miRNAs associated with weight loss during a weight loss intervention, examined the effects of an online intervention on the physical activty profiles of older adults, and wrote about the gastrointestinal manifestations of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and dietary approaches for their management.

Nathaniel Morris
Honourary Lecturer, Department of History, UCL
Nathaniel Morris is a historian of modern Mexico and Central America. He's particularly interested in Indigenous politics, rural rebellions, revolutionary movements, and drug production and trafficking. Before taking up his current post as an Associate Lecturer, he was a Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellow at UCL, where he carried out a three-year research project on the history of militias in Mexico.
His current book project builds on this research by exploring the ties of history, memory, space and culture that link the armed ‘self defence’ forces active throughout the country today, to the popular paramilitary groups that helped to shape the Mexican Revolution of 1910-40. He has also written extensively about the roots of the modern Mexican drug trade, the contemporary cultural and political impacts of opium production and heroin trafficking on the Indigenous Náayari, Wixárika, O’dam and Mexicanero peoples of Mexico’s Gran Nayar region, and the participation of these same groups in the Mexican Revolution, which was the subject of his first book, Soldiers, Saints and Shamans (https://uapress.arizona.edu/book/soldiers-saints-and-shamans).

Post Doctoral Research Fellow and Lecturer at the Department of Nature Conservation, Tshwane University of Technology
I have a strong academic and research background, with a focus on zoology and a deep interest in biodiversity conservation, invasive species, and molecular biology. My educational journey began with a BSc in botany and zoology and an Honours degree in zoology from the University of Venda, where I developed a foundational understanding of animal biology and ecosystem interactions. During my MSc at the University of Pretoria, my research centred on the role of the pet trade and scientific laboratories in facilitating the spread of invasive rodents in South Africa. This project allowed me to develop practical skills in field research, data collection, and analysis, and it deepened my understanding of the ecological risks posed by human activities.
For my PhD at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, I expanded my focus to examine the risk associated with exotic mammal species in the South African pet trade, an area of significant importance for both conservation efforts and policy-making. Through this work, I developed my expertise in molecular biology techniques, particularly DNA barcoding, to assess genetic diversity and monitor invasive species. I also became interested in studying exotic bird species that establish feral populations outside their native ranges, which has broader implications for managing invasive species.
