Diana Ibanez-Tirado
Senior Lecturer in Anthropology, University of Sussex
Diana is a social anthropologist with a wide range of regional and linguistic expertise, and an inter-disciplinary approach. She obtained a PhD and an MA in social anthropology from SOAS, University of London, a BA in International Relations (UNAM), and an MA in Middle East Studies with Arabic Language (El Colegio de Mexico), and diplomas in Russian Language and Culture from UNAM and the Pushkin State Russian Institute in Moscow.
Diana’s early research documented how people in southern Tajikistan experience time, and then she worked on theorising different forms of transnational mobility and migration in Asia. Based on fieldwork conducted in China, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and Tajikistan, her work with Russian and Persian speaking traders has been published in the journals Ethnography; Current Sociology; Central Asian Survey, History and Anthropology, and the Cambridge Journal of Anthropology.
From her research on temporality, and then mobility and trade, Diana developed an interest in the journeys people embark upon when searching for healing, medical treatments, and management of ill health. Since 2023, she has been investigating the journeys that Britons follow to seek dental services in Turkey, a phenomenon related to the "crisis" of NHS dentistry in the UK.

Diana Mok
Associate Professor of Real Estate Finance and Economics, Western University
My research interests are broadly defined in the realm of real estate and urban economics, with a focus on housing and urban development. Most of my research studies have been applied, empirical studies of urban phenomena drawn from existing theories, and I often adopt a spatial lens to study my research questions. Specifically, my research has evolved and developed around three themes, intertwined, and with a spatial focus: risk, real estate, and urban growth. I seek to understand the interrelatedness among risk, the real estate market, and how the real estate market affects people’s economic activities in everyday life.

Diane Rohlman
Associate Dean for Research, Professor and Endowed Chair of Rural Safety and Health, University of Iowa
In her work, Rohlman, Associate Professor in the Department of Occupational and Environmental Health at the University of Iowa College of Public Health, has collaborated with researchers from Brazil, Thailand, the Philippines and elsewhere. One of those collaborations has taken her to Egypt, to examine the health effects of organophosphorus pesticides on young Egyptian field workers.
Rohlman received both her master’s and Ph.D in experimental psychology from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Her early research examined the impact of low-level occupational exposure to organophosphorus pesticides in adult and adolescent farm workers in Oregon. Young workers are less likely to recognize hazards, be less aware of their legal rights and more reluctant to speak up regarding safety, putting them at increased risk for occupational injuries. They also often engage in behaviors that may increase their risk of injury, such as sleep deprivation, substance use and distracted work behaviors.
Her research was later extended to examine environmental pesticide exposure among children living in agricultural communities. Since many chemicals can attack the brain and nervous system, having methods to assess memory, attention and learning can be used to identify early deficits.
While she has been actively involved in research on five continents and more than 10 countries, Rohlman, who served as director of the Agricultural Safety and Health Training Program in the UI’s Heartland Center for Occupational Health and Safety, also offers training closer to home. The center provides graduate training programs in Industrial Hygiene, Occupational Medicine, Ergonomics, Occupational Epidemiology, Occupational Injury Prevention, and Agricultural Safety and Health.
Rohlman also serves as the Director of the UI’s Healthier Workforce Center for Excellence, a NIOSH Total Worker Health Center of Excellence. The Center focuses on promotion of safety, health, and well-being among working populations. She has mentored undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral trainees.

Diarmid Finnegan
Reader in Human Geography, Queen's University Belfast
My research interests include the cultural history and geography of the life and earth sciences, with a particular emphasis on religious responses to scientific developments in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. My earliest work examined the reception of glacial theory in Victorian Edinburgh, investigated the historical geographies of Scottish natural history societies in the period 1831-1900 and, with Charles Withers and Rebekah Higgitt, explored the role of geography in the work of the British Association for the Advancement of Science from 1831 – c.1933. My book on natural history societies in Victorian Scotland was published by Pickering & Chatto in 2009 and was awarded the Frank Watson Book Prize for Scottish History in 2011. In 2014, I completed a two-year AHRC-funded project on science in nineteenth-century Belfast. I have also written about the mix of metaphysics and science in the writings of the geologist James Croll and the reception of ideas about human evolution in the context of religious debates about the creation of Eve (rather than Adam). More recent work has centred on public speech as a situated mode of interaction between science and culture in the nineteenth century. A monograph on this subject examining the lecture tours of five British celebrity scientists in Gilded Age America published by the University of Pittsburgh Press has recently appeared. With Professor David N. Livingstone, I have now completed a 27 month project investigating debates about evolution and theology in the early twentieth century. This is part of a larger John Templeton Foundation-funded project on conjunctive explanations in science and religion (CESAR). I am currently at the early stages of writing a biography of Scottish evolutionist and evangelist, Henry Drummond.

Diarmuid Scully
Lecturer in medieval history, University College Cork
Diarmuid Scully devised the first module on LGBT history to be taught in an Irish university in 2018, the 25th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality in the Republic.
The study of LGBT Irish identities on the island of Ireland is an emergent research area with huge potential. Modern Ireland, North and South, has seen many transformations, but few as dramatic as the change in the perception and status of LGBT people.
The module explores the experiences of LGBT people and the shaping of LGBT identities in Ireland from the 1970s to 2022 via activists’ testimonies, LGBT rights promotional materials, media reports, personal accounts, and creative productions including songs, poems and the visual arts. These sources are located and analysed in their historical contexts. The module also asks how, and to what extent, Irish LGBT issues have been analysed by historians.
My research interests focus on representations of Ireland, its inhabitants, and wonders in a wider archipelagic context in Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Early Modern era. I am interested in Classical ideas concerning Britain, Ireland, and their surrounding seas, and the shaping of those ideas by Graeco-Roman world-geographical and ethnographical thought and the demands of Roman imperialism. The analysis of the long-term legacy of these concepts, topoi, and stereotypes dominates my current research. I am investigating their transmission to the early Insular world and adaptation and subversion by Insular authorities, and the response of twelfth to seventeenth century English and other textual and visual sources to both Classical and early Insular interpretations of Irish and archipelagic history, culture, geography, and marvels.
My research interests converge in a monograph in preparation, The Bull of the Herd: Giraldus Cambrensis and the Invention of Barbarian Ireland. This is the first full-length study of Gerald of Wales's Irish writings since 1662. Gerald of Wales's Topography of Ireland (1188) dominated discourse on Ireland from the late 12th to the 17th centuries. I am examining the work in relation to the Classical and Early Insular sources as well as 12th century views of European peripheries, and considering its impact on Early Modern perceptions of Ireland.

Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
I am a systems neuroscientist with a background in biophysics. The goal of my research is to understand how brain circuits mediate decision making to complex sensory input. In my lab, we study how sensory processing areas of the olfactory and somatosensory systems handle information relevant to decision-making, and how they interact with downstream regions such as the hippocampus and cerebellum. In addition, we study the circuit basis for behavioral deficits in mild demyelination and neurodevelopmental disorders.
To tackle these questions, we use an interdisciplinary approach employing high-density electrical recording, advanced microscopy, closed loop optogenetics, and computational neuroscience.

Marie-Skłodowska Curie Fellow in Anthropology, Ca' Foscari University of Venice
During the last century, the indigenous South American Lowlands have been colonized by steamboats, railways, trucks, chainsaws, fire-weapons and electric generators introduced by missionaries, extractive industries, armies, development projects, and NGOs. However, anthropological and historical research has largely neglected this mechanical colonisation of indigenous life; in particular, there are almost no studies that analyse the current tide of motorcycles that during the last few decades altered dramatically the interethnic landscape, and its social, economic and environmental repercussions which are significantly reshaping current indigenous reality. The goal of my research project is to analyze the effects of motorcycle dissemination among the indigenous peoples of Bolivian Amazonia, and to achieve practical impact regarding public policies on road safety and prevention of accidents in marginal contexts.
