I'm a political theorist with an interdisciplinary background in law, politics, and philosophy. One stream of my work focuses on crisis government and states of emergency: my first book was 'States of Emergency in Liberal Democracies' (Cambridge, 2009/13). Other streams of research focus on political temporality, political rhetoric, and political legitimacy : these came together in my second book 'Out of Joint: Power, Crisis, and the Rhetoric of Time' (Yale, 2019). My current work also engages the role of pleasure in political thought, and I'm at work on a third book for a mass audience on apocalyptic politics.

She did her B.A in Political Science and History (co-operative education) with a specialization in Global Governance and a French minor from the University of Waterloo. Her research interests relate to international relations in the Middle East and South Asia, with a focus on war and conflict post 9/11, and the political effects of conflict in these regions. Noor completed an Honour’s thesis during her undergraduate studies under the supervision of Dr. Aaron Ettinger, which looked at the ideological considerations which shape foreign policy practises, especially those which resulted in the invasion of Iraq in 2001. Her thesis surveyed the relationship of the Clash of Civilizations thesis to post 9/11 foreign policy and the treatment of political verbiage to frame not only said conflict, but how foreign policy practioners articulated solutions to deal with it. She is also interested in how multilateral institutions can shape what the international response to crisis is. She recently attended the International Monetary Fund/World Bank spring meetings as a Fellow of Washington D.C based think tank, New Rules for Global Finance and is interested in exploring loan restructuring, and development in the Middle East and South Asia.

Nora Casson
Canada Research Chair in Environmental Influences on Water Quality, University of Winnipeg
Canada is teeming with lakes, streams, and wetlands. Clean, healthy fresh waters support biodiversity and provide extensive health, economic, and cultural benefits to Canadian communities. However, rates of climate change in northern boreal regions are among the highest anywhere on Earth. Rising temperatures, changes to precipitation, and declining snow cover will fundamentally alter how water and chemicals move through the environment, and could threaten our valuable aquatic resources.
How will environmental pressures, including climate change, impact water quality? Dr. Nora Casson and her team are working to unravel relationships between water and nutrient cycling, to understand how patterns and processes vary across the landscape and how human activities impact the surface waters that drain forested ecosystems.
A robust understanding of the environmental controls on nutrient cycling in the boreal region is critical for informing decision-making aimed at safeguarding water quality. Dr. Casson's research expands our understanding of how human activities impact boreal ecosystems by diving deep into the mechanisms that underpin observed changes and also by looking broadly at controls on regional-scale patterns. Through interdisciplinary collaboration with researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers, the results of Dr. Casson’s research inform management decisions to protect ecosystems and water quality.

My main research interests are: One Health and Fungal infections, Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), Climate change and Genetic tools in non-model organisms (Fungal pathogens)
I started my Research career at the University of Manchester obtaining my PhD. This project was focused on transcriptional regulation during Aspergillus fumigatus infection of the mammalian lung through high-throughput screening of mutants. As an example, we screened the library for azole sensitivity and resistance where my passion for AMR came from.
During my PhD project we have developed CRISPR methodologies for genome editing of A. fumigatus. The focus was on CRISPR-mediated protein tagging and point mutations to avoid using dominant selection markers during transformation. This methodology is widely adopted now in several research laboratories and is still driving much of my research.
I am currently working on a project linking climate change to antifungal resistance, working on dual-use fungicides and novel antifungals. I work on evolution in soil through various techniques combining environmental microbiology, molecular fungal biology and infection biology.
