Romain Boulongne
Assistant Professor de Dirección Estratégica, IESE Business School (Universidad de Navarra)
Romain tiene un doctorado en Gestión Empresarial por la HEC Paris, un máster en Administración y Dinámica de la Organización por la Universidad de París y un grado en Ciencias Políticas por el Sciences Po Lille. Durante su estancia en la HEC, Romain también pasó un año como estudiante visitante de doctorado en el Grupo de Sociología Económica del MIT Sloan.
Su principal foco de investigación se centra en cómo los procesos de categorización —los diversos mecanismos cognitivos que la gente usa para dar sentido al mundo social— determinan la evaluación y el rendimiento social de las organizaciones en los mercados.
Otro aspecto de la investigación de Romain se basa en su interés más general por las cuestiones relacionadas con la sostenibilidad. Para abordarlos, utiliza métodos experimentales y enfoques empíricos a gran escala para explorar temas como el desempeño de formas alternativas de organización, la inversión de impacto y, en términos más generales, cómo las organizaciones pueden integrar los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) en sus estrategias.
Por último, Romain ha estado trabajando en estrecha colaboración con autoridades públicas y recientemente publicó un informe de política sobre el impacto de los intangibles en el rendimiento económico - un informe encargado por el Ministro de Industria francés.
Su trabajo ha sido publicado en Organization Science, en The Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, en Strategic Management Journal y en Research in the Sociology of Organizations, entre otros.

Ron Barrett
Professor of Anthropology, Macalester College
I am a medical anthropologist and former registered nurse. My research examines the social dimensions of infectious diseases, ritual healing practices, and caregiving at the end of life. I conducted major field research in India, and I have since been working on smaller projects in Tanzania, Thailand, and the United States. Prior to becoming an academic, my clinical nursing experience was in neuro-intensive care, brain injury rehabilitation, and hospice. I also worked a year in a viral genetics laboratory studying translational regulation in bacteriophages. All of this has been driven by my passion for exploring the intersections between the cultural and biological aspects of human experience and applying these findings to important health and social problems.
Books:
Aghor Medicine: Pollution, Death and Healing in Northern India – University of California Press. This book concerns the ritual healing practices of a heterodox religious group known as the Aghori, their beliefs concerning mortality and prejudice, and their therapeutic interactions with patients afflicted with socially stigmatizing diseases such as leprosy (Hansen’s disease, or HD). This book was awarded the 2008 Wellcome Medal by the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland.
Emerging Infections: Three Epidemiological Transitions from Prehistory to the Present – Oxford University Press. I am lead author of this interdisciplinary, multi-authored book, scheduled to be released in January 2024. It explains how recent increases in new, virulent, and drug-resistant infections have resulted from human practices that can be traced back to the Neolithic. This book is a retitled, highly revised, and greatly expanded second edition of An Unnatural History of Emerging Infections (2013).

During the past decade, he re-focused his research program toward the various ways in which disability and ableism are produced by and embedded within the institutions that govern and make the places within cities where we live, work, play, and learn. His interest in disability scholarship and the problem of ableism is motivated by family experiences with disabling institutions and environments. Recent published works have focused on access to education, disability and school transport, disability and climate change, and food insecurity for disabled persons. Professor Buliung teaches the graduate seminar, “Disability, Ableism and Place” in the Graduate Program in Geography and Planning.
