Sarah Sorial
Associate Dean Research Training and Performance, Faculty of Arts, Macquarie University
I am a Professor in Law at Macquarie University. Between 2008-2011, I was an ARC Post Doctoral Research Fellow at Macquarie University (2008) and the University of Wollongong (2009-11). Between 2011-18, I was a senior lecturer and Associate Professor in Philosophy at UOW. I completed my undergraduate degrees in philosophy (with honours) and law at Macquarie University, and was awarded my PhD in Philosophy from the University of New South Wales in 2006.
My research specialisation is primarily at the intersection of philosophy and law. Specifically, I am interested in how philosophical concepts can be utilised to address various and persistent legal dilemmas, including dilemmas about the limits of speech, the importance of democratic deliberation, the place of rights in liberal democracies, and more recently, the place of emotions in law. My book, Sedition and the Advocacy of Violence: Free Speech and Counter-terrorism, is a book length philosophical treatment of modern sedition laws in Australia, and the offence of 'glorifying terrorism' in the United Kingdom. Using established concepts in philosophy of language I demonstrated various problems with the current laws and made proposals for addressing them. I also developed a systematic analysis of the concept of harm and the nature of speaker authority in establishing harm. I have applied this account to other areas of contested speech, including hate speech, holocaust denial, pseudo-scientific speech, and emotionally charged speech in the public sphere. More recently, I have been working in the area of emotions and the law, specifically on the expression and management of emotions during criminal trials. I have supervised and am able to supervise PhD theses in the areas of political philosophy, philosophy of law, and feminism.

Sarah Trott
Senior Lecturer in American Studies and History, York St John University
I am a Senior Lecturer in American Studies and History at York St. John University. My interdisciplinary research is grounded in field of American Studies and lies at the intersection of culture, history, politics, and social memory. My work focuses on the impact of war in 19th and 20th century America, with a secondary concentration on subversive culture and trauma. My monograph, published with the University Press of Mississippi (2016), challenged the American canon, arguing a case for the work of crime fiction writer Raymond Chandler to be located and read alongside the work of the Lost Generation. By taking into account the impact of wartime post-traumatic stress disorder upon American crime fiction I introduced the original concept of ‘War Noir’ to the study of American literature.

PhD candidate, Swansea University
I am interested in large-scale biogeographic patterns and the underlying mechanisms and processes. Species' dispersal (natural dispersal, invasions and range shifts) is a particular favourite of mine, especially in the context of land-use and climate changes. It is one of the proccesses at the origin of biodiversity as it can lead to speciation, and it determines where we can find which species today. I completed a joint PhD programme between Swansea University (Wales, UK) and Université Grenoble Alpes (France), and have now moved to Germany for a postdoc position.

Sarahleigh Castelyn
Reader and Associate Professor in Performing Arts, University of East London
I am an educator, researcher, performer, choreographer and writer: a dance nerd. My dance research focuses on race, gender, sexuality, and nation in apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa, the politics of hybridity, and the use of practice as a research methodology.
I have performed in and choreographed dance works, for example at JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Festival (South Africa) and The Playhouse (South Africa). I serve on a number of editorial and organisation boards, such as The South African Dance Journal and HOTFOOT.
I have published research on dance and South Africa, for instance in Viral Dramaturgies (2018) and Narratives in Black British Dance (2018), and in journals such as The African Performance Review, Dance Theatre Journal, Animated, African Performance Review, and The South African Theatre Journal.
I am interested in researching and documenting dance and performance practices that are often marginalised by the global north. I am currently working on a monograph on contemporary dance in South Africa during the early periods after the end of the apartheid regime.
My book aims to explore when and how, and to what effect, the body in South African contemporary dance post-apartheid is a toyi-toying body. Toyi-Toying is a South African dance motif that occurs at protests and is a powerful piece of choreography that creates a charged atmosphere.
My research makes apparent the relationship between political action and the dancing body and shows how South African contemporary dance choreographers makes visible the complex, fluid, multiple, and contradictory nature of South African identity politics.
My story: I was born in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa in the 1970s, and was sent to ballet at the age of four to cure my duck walk; I had teaspoons thrown at me by my ballet teacher because I wouldn't stop growing; I developed a love for Brenda Fassie and township jive thanks to the wise gogo who cared for me when my mom was working at the hospital; I landed up at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in the 1990s; during the most important election in South African history, I loved dancing the toyi-toyi up and down the voting lines with my fellow South Africans.
I learnt from Paul Datlen that everything was dance, including throwing yourself onto the floor, which I had no problem with, except the getting up. From Lliane Loots, I learnt that not only was everything dance, but dance was political, and dancing bodies are thinking bodies. I danced for Flatfoot when it was 'unofficial', and I takes pride in saying that I remember dancing on the top of a construction site with fibreglass wings on for a photo shoot. I likes to think that the photo in the local Sunday Paper made me famous when I was clubbing in Point Road. During this time, I made other dancers dance with chickens and got really irritated that there weren't enough books about dance in South Africa on the library bookshelves.
In 2001, I left the sunny shores of the East Coast to go to London and ended up completing a practice-based doctoral research project supervised by Jen Harvie at Queen Mary, University of London, which was funded by the United Kingdom's Arts and Humanities and Research Council.
Today, I am a practice-based researcher based at the University of East London but I have one foot in the United Kingdom and one in South Africa - I do have big feet. I love working with my students at UEL and I love working with the student dancers in UKZN (University of KwaZulu-Natal), such as with the Flatfoot Dance Training Company, or even bringing students from UEL together with students from UKZN on Khuluma – the dance writing residency project that is part of JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Festival.
I invite you to join the Dance Revolution: Dance Nerds Unite!
