Christine M. Gunn
Assistant Professor of Health Policy and Clinical Practice, Dartmouth College
Christine Gunn, PhD, is an assistant professor of The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice. She also serves as the health equity liaison to the Community Outreach and Engagement Program of the Dartmouth Cancer Center.
Dr. Gunn leads a community-engaged program of research focused on risk communication, decision-making, and the utilization of evidence-based care. Our studies investigate how patients and providers negotiate the experience of being at risk for cancer and how risk communication interventions impact the utilization of health services. One specific example of this work is designing and implementing a decision aid for breast cancer screening, with an emphasis on optimizing for populations with limited health literacy and those exposed to environmental risks. Dr. Gunn has received national attention for documenting how state-level dense breasts notification policies do not meet population literacy needs, and the impact they have on both patients and providers. Other areas of interest include cancer survivorship care, patient navigation, emerging cancer screening technologies and policy, and patient-partnered research methods.

Christofer Clemente
Assistant Professor in Evolutionary Biomechanics, University of the Sunshine Coast
Dr Clemente is interested in the relationship between form, function and ecology of living and extinct animals. His earliest studies examined the relationship between vision and ecology in spiders. Later, at the University of Western Australia, Dr Clemente switched his focus to the evolution of locomotion. He studied morphology, metabolic rates and biomechanics and compared these to ecological characteristics and locomotory ability in a large group of lizards, the varanids. Dr Clemente similarly studied these traits in other lizard groups, including an extensive project examining the evolution of bipedalism in dragon lizards, showing lizards were essentially popping a wheelie. He later continued his research at the University of Cambridge, focusing on insect adhesion, examining the multitude of solutions insects have developed to overcome the problems of sticking to smooth surfaces. At Harvard University, Dr Clemente examined the vertebrate muscle system, specifically how muscle mechanics integrate with the environment dynamically, during locomotion. His research at the University of Queensland continued my research into lizard locomotion, with a focus on the design of biologically inspired climbing robots. He has combined many aspects of this research into his current role at the University of the Sunshine Coast and is particularly interested in the emerging field of Evolutionary Biomechanics.

Christophe Fricker
Senior Lecturer in German and Translation, University of Bristol
The focus of my research, teaching and consultancy work is on the intersection between language and community. It is based on the recognition that words are actions that matter in specific social situations. I analyse language use across various communities and support the development of communicative practices that are effective and appealing, most recently around the language of Brexit.
This work is based on research into the way in which linguistic and social practices intersect; applying Richard Sennett’s theory of craftsmanship to literature I have identified and described the poet Stefan George’s ‘workshop’ as his major work. The resulting monograph was #2 on the NDR/SZ list of the best new non-fiction books. It was followed by a five-year working group I led at the Hanse Institute for Advanced Study, deepening the exploration of linguistic creativity and community and resulting in an edited volume published with Klostermann. In parallel, I examined the need for a reconceptualisation of the link between encounter on the one hand and textual criticism on the other. This notion of a possible phenomenology of language use was put to the test in work on the various medial traces of conversations between the writer Ernst Jünger and the ‘interview artist’ André Müller. I edited these materials and have since published two articles on them. Part of this work was supported through a Marie Curie Fellowship held at the University of Bristol.
My teaching is an ongoing inquiry into the various forms in which language aids or hinders the emergence of communities. I have designed courses on discourses around the ‘centre’ in society and politics, the language of economic policy-making, and the poetics and practices of German humour. My aim is to help students understand the extent to which they can actively participate in the processes analysed, because I contend that the current historical moment of crisis is a crisis of agency – of translating values and ambitions into action. Research and teaching can clarify the ways in which this is possible, and I see it as my job to do so.
In my translation teaching this concerns the way in which new graduates become entrepreneurs, in an industry dominated by freelancers and marked by a tension between automation and creativity that linguists today can harness. I am hoping to expand the ways in which the study of language and the joys of venture creation can be linked up. As a former managing partner of a research and consultancy firm I can offer the business development perspective needed in the process.
I was, from 2010 to 2018, a founding partner at Nimirum, a research and consultancy firm tracking the language of socio-economic change and consumer biographies. I was responsible for around 300 completed projects, enabling over 100 clients across multiple industries to sharpen their profile, win a record number of bids, base strategic decisions on a secure footing, and increase revenue. I was also in charge of recruiting, training, and deploying researchers in 65 countries, and for Nimirum’s research methods portfolio. Many of the projects carried out at Nimirum serve as proof that a sense of individual agency, business success and linguistic competency can be brought into close alignment.
In terms of my own contribution to creative language use I am the German translator of a number of bestselling and highly-acclaimed writers, including Guardian columnist Owen Jones, Atlas of Prejudice internet sensation Yanko Tsvetkov, science writer Hugh Aldersey-Williams and American poet Joshua Mehigan. As a creative writer I am the author of two volumes of poetry and two travel books, the most recent one outlining 111 reasons to love England, which was featured in broadsheets, tabloids and on radio.

Christophe Langevin
PhD candidate in water sciences, Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS)
Christophe completed his bachelor's degree in geological engineering with a specialization in environment and water resources at Laval University. He then continued his graduate studies with a master's degree in the theme of microbial ecology. He was particularly interested in the characterization via next-generation sequencing and microscopic analysis of the temporal and spatial variation of phytoplankton diversity, including cyanobacteria in the lakes of southern Quebec. A large-scale project that allowed him to make an accelerated transition to the doctorate. The doctoral project that Christophe is currently carrying out is a project in collaboration with the Centre d’Expertise en Analyse environnementale du Québec (CEAEQ). He is currently focused on the health of Quebec lakes, as defined by their microbiome and their responses to disturbances. His goal is to identify microbial indicators that can assess the impacts of nutrient enrichment and climate warming on lake health, based on microbial diversity and functions. He has a strong interest in environmental genomics, microbial ecology and climate change.

Christophe Premat
Associate Professor in French Studies (cultural studies), head of the Centre for Canadian Studies, Stockholm University
My expertise spans diverse domains, encompassing discourse analysis, French postmodern thought, and cultural studies, particularly within French-speaking regions, with a focus on contemporary francophone literature. I am deeply engaged in exploring the global dissemination of French Theory, utilizing postmodern and postcolonial theories to dissect the circulation of myths.
As the leader of the Centre for Canadian Studies since 2017, my emphasis extends to native studies with a focus on the emergence of the Indigenous literature in French. Within my research on political discourses, I investigate the intricate relationship between participation procedures and political lobbying. I propose a hypothesis suggesting a transformative shift in political culture, where representative systems grapple with a clash of opinions. The vanishing public scene is characterized by desynchronized opinions, as citizens, lobbies, and politicians respond to comments posted on various platforms. This phenomenon highlights how new technologies have reshaped the public sphere. A parallel trend emerges in memory debates, where social groups challenge classical principles of representation. In this context, I scrutinize the contours of populist and panafricanist discourses in the French-speaking world.
Since 2018, my pedagogical endeavors have included research on academic integrity to address plagiarism issues at the university level. I regularly organize workshops on academic integrity and, more recently, co-edited a handbook on plagiarism prevention tailored for teachers at Stockholm University.

Christopher Ali
Pioneers Chair in Telecommunications & Professor of Telecommunications, Penn State
Dr. Christopher Ali is the Pioneers Chair in Telecommunications and professor of telecommunications in the Bellisario College. He holds a Ph.D. in communication studies from the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania (2013). His research interests include media and telecommunications policy and regulation, broadband policy, critical political economy, critical geography, comparative media systems, qualitative research methods, media localism and local news.
Dr. Ali uses critical, qualitative methods to research broadband policy, planning, deployment and digital equity in the United States. Presently, he has a series of projects dedicated to “broadband stories,” where he is researching how community-based stories can influence public policy. These projects involve interviews, focus groups, surveys, and field work to better understand the qualitative and narrative experiences of those people, places, and organizations facing digital insecurity.
Dr. Ali is the author or editor of four books: "Public Service Media’s Contribution to Society"(2023, with Prof. Dr. Manuel Puppis), "Farm Fresh Broadband: The Politics of Rural Connectivity" (2021), "Media Localism: The Policies of Place" (2017), "Echoes of Gabriel Tarde: What we know better or different 100 years later" (2014, with Drs. Elihu Katz and Joohan Kim). In "Farm Fresh Broadband: The Politics of Rural Connectivity" (MIT Press, 2021), Ali examined the complicated terrain of rural broadband policy in the U.S. "Farm Fresh" unpacks the politics of broadband policy, asking why millions of rural Americans lack broadband access and why the federal government, and large providers, are not doing more to connect the unconnected.
Based on his expertise, Dr. Ali was called to testify before the Senate Commerce Committee in 2021 on broadband funding and policy programs. He has also briefed members of the House Democrats Task Force on Rural Broadband, the New York State Blue Ribbon Commission on Re-Imagining New York, the Federal Communications Commission, and has presented before numerous state and county governments.
Dr. Ali has published peer reviewed articles in numerous high ranking academic journals including, Communication Theory, Media Culture & Society, and Telecommunications Policy. His most recent article, published in the Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media, argues for the need for the inclusion of ethnographic methods in critical policy studies. His writing has been published in The New York Times, The Hill, Realtor Magazine, Law & Political Economy, Digital Beat, GovTech, Zocalo Public Square, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Washington Monthly, Columbia Journalism Review, and The Conversation. He is a frequent press commentator on the subjects of broadband, media policy, and local news, with interviews in the Associated Press, Hollywood Reporter, Business Insider, Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, Los Angeles Times, NPR, CNET, CBC, Bloomberg, and other major national and international news outlets.
Ali's first single-authored book, "Media Localism: The Policies of Place" (University of Illinois Press, 2017) addresses the difficulties of defining and regulating local media in the 21st century in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada and the implications these difficulties have for the long-term viability of local news. This is the first book to investigate local media policy in a comparative context and the first to systematically assess media localism in Canada and the UK. It combines policy analysis and critical theory to provide for a unique perspective on one of the most challenging policy questions in the media industry: what does it mean to be local?
Dr. Ali presently serves as the Associate Editor of the journal Communication Law & Policy. He is also a member of the technology advisory board of Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) and sits on the advisory board of the Centre County Film Festival.
Previously, he served as the Chair of the Communication Law and Policy Division of the International Communication Association (2021-2023). He has also served on the Federal Communication Commission’s Communication Equity and Diversity Council Working Group and was a board member of Charlottesville Tomorrow, a non-profit news organization in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Dr. Ali has held fellowships at the Benton Institute for Broadband and Society (2019-2020), the Global Future Council of the World Economic Forum (2018), the Center for Advanced Research in Global Communications (CARGC) at the University of Pennsylvania (2017 & 2022), the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University (2016-2017 & 2019-2021) and the University of Fribourg in Fribourg Switzerland (2015).

My research focuses on US and UK foreign policy, and foreign policy decision-making. In my teaching at the University of York, I teach on Policy-making and US Foreign Policy.
My PhD was on the US and UK decision-making processes that led to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. While international factors contributed to the decision to invade Iraq, to truly understand how these two governments made it, it is necessary to examine the individuals who made the decision. Theoretically, this research responds to the challenges laid down for FPA: to establish links between theoretical models, to compare national contexts, and to speak to policy practitioners. Empirically, this research contributes a rich analysis of both decision-making processes that led to the invasion of Iraq in 2003, using recently declassified documentary materials and interviews with decision-makers involved. This research forms the basis for a book proposal that is under review with Manchester University Press.
I have also co-authored two academic articles on the Trump administration's foreign policy, conceptualizing and explaining President Trump's leadership style in his foreign policy-making. In the first article, co-authored with Asaf Siniver, we argued that Trump’s plutocratic worldview means that he is transactional and money-first in his approach. Whilst this is a significant break from previous US Presidents, it provides much of the consistency within the Trump presidency. In the second article with Oz Hassan, we argue that whilst many think the Trump doctrine is a doctrine of unpredictability, Trump is in fact predictable in the light of his leadership style.

Christopher Ferguson
Associate Professor of History, Auburn University
Christopher Ferguson is a historian of Modern Britain, with special interests in the period c. 1780-c. 1870, urban history, autobiography and other ego documents, and material culture. He joined the Auburn University faculty in 2008, after completing his PhD in British and cultural history at Indiana University, where he also received an interdisciplinary minor in Victorian studies.
At Auburn, Ferguson teaches survey courses in modern British, European, and world history, as well as topics and graduate courses in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British and European history, and the histories of gender and material culture.
Ferguson’s first book, An Artisan Intellectual, examines the life and ideas of the English tailor and writer James Carter (1792-1853), one of the countless and largely anonymous individuals whose lives dramatically transformed during Britain’s long march to modernity. Born in Colchester, Carter began working as a tailor at age thirteen, and later migrated to London. As the Industrial Revolution brought innovations in every aspect of British life, Carter took advantage of opportunities to push against the boundaries of his working-class background, supplementing his income by writing, publishing books, articles, and poetry on subjects as diverse as religion, death, nature, aesthetics, and theories of civilization. The history of Carter’s life and writings, therefore, offers a particularly rich entry point for understanding the larger history of how ordinary Britons were swept up in - but also swam against - the waves of revolutionary change transforming their society during the first half of the nineteenth century.
Ferguson’s current research project, Making Sense of the City, analyzes British responses to rapid urbanization during the first half of the “long” nineteenth century, arguing that for ordinary Britons the transition to a society of city-dwellers represented a transformation as revolutionary as the economic and political changes occurring during the same years.
