Dr Nitasha Kaul
Reader (Associate Professor), School of Social Sciences, University of Westminster
Dr Nitasha Kaul (BA Economics Honours, SRCC, University of Delhi; MSc (Economics) with a specialisation in Public Policy and a Joint PhD Economics & Philosophy, University of Hull) is a widely-travelled multidisciplinary academic, award-winning novelist, and media commentator. Her interventions on politics, democracy, and human rights have appeared in major international radio, televisual, and print media including BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera, DW, France 24, The Guardian, and The Independent. She has wide recognition as a public intellectual, having delivered invited lectures and keynotes at institutions around the world, addressing diverse audiences, including U.S. Congress, U.N, and European Parliament.
She is Associate Professor (Reader) in Politics and International Relations and Director of Centre for the Study of Democracy (CSD), University of Westminster, London. She has previously been an Associate Professor in Creative Writing in Bhutan and a tenured Assistant Professor in Economics at the Bristol Business School.Her work, over the last two decades, has been on identity, democracy, political economy, technology/AI, Hindu nationalism, rise of the global right, feminist and postcolonial critiques, small states and Himalayan geopolitics, Hindu nationalism, Kashmir, Kerala, and Bhutan.
She is the recipient of multiple research grants and awards for her research, writing, and activism. She is the author of over 145 publications, including 7 single-authored or edited scholarly and literary books, book chapters in numerous critical and ground-breaking edited collections, plus peer-reviewed original research articles in numerous journals across humanities and social science disciplines. Her books include Imagining Economics Otherwise (Routledge, 2007), and political fiction telling the stories of conflict and identity, such as her novel Future Tense (Harper Collins, 2020) and the Man-Asian Literary Prize shortlisted novel Residue (Rainlight, 2014) that was the first novel in English by a Kashmiri woman author. A focus on creating knowledge narratives to raise critical consciousness to build resilient democracies and lift the voices and views that are marginalised resonates through all her work; she highlights the need for social justice and human rights internationally and acts to combat prejudice and challenge the politics of hate.
Across disciplines, geographies, and over the years, the themes that motivate her work are as follows: the need to foreground and critically analyse -- institutions and systematisations of knowledge trajectories (and their link to systems of oppression, discourses of legitimisation, and narratives of dispossession); indigenisations of political expression; the use of memory as a resource; and the understanding of identities as they travel through the disciplining processes of territory and time.

Dr Sarah Lothian
Lecturer and Academic Barrister, Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security, University of Wollongong, University of Wollongong
I am a Lecturer and Academic Barrister at the Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security (ANCORS) at the University of Wollongong.
I decided to embark upon a career in Academia after spending 12+ years in the legal profession. During my legal career I always endeavoured to build upon my academic credentials. In many ways, I enjoyed law school so much I never wanted to leave.
I completed my undergraduate studies in Arts and Law at the University of Sydney in 2008 and was admitted as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of NSW and the High Court of Australia. Whilst working full time as a Solicitor in a busy boutique Sydney law firm, I completed my Masters in Family Law at the College of Law Sydney in 2012. After being called to the Bar of New South Wales in 2013 I decided to continue my studies. In 2016, I completed my Masters in Maritime Law at the University of Nottingham (With Distinction) and was awarded the School of Law’s Best Graduating Masters Student of 2016.
After successfully defending my PhD in law at the University of Sydney in November 2020 I secured a position as Lecturer at ANCORS. In this role, I draw upon my experience as a legal practitioner. I remain an active member of the New South Wales Bar and I am also admitted as a Solicitor of the Senior Courts of England and Wales.
At ANCORS, I convene the Masters course on Maritime Regulation and Enforcement, and teach into a range of courses on law of the sea and other oceans governance issues. I also co-supervise Masters and PhD research projects in these areas.
My research focuses on the development of a new Implementing Agreement to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea which will be dedicated to the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ). My research concerns each of the four elements of the BBNJ package deal including marine genetic resources, area-based management tools (marine protected areas), environmental impact assessments, capacity-building and marine technology transfer.
My recent book, Marine Conservation and International Law: Legal Instruments for Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (Routledge, 2022) provides a blueprint for an International Legally Binding Instrument (ILBI) for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction. The development of an ILBI could signify a pivotal turning point in the law of the sea by addressing regulatory, governance and institutional gaps and deficiencies in the existing international law framework for BBNJ.

Once graduated, he moved to Austin in the summer of 2021 to begin working toward a Ph.D. at The University of Texas at Austin within the Webber Energy Group. Drew’s research interests are in big picture energy systems and cleaning up the power grid. Currently, he is researching grid resilience scenarios in extreme weather events by studying what efforts are needed to prepare for increasingly probable extreme weather. The methods involved in this research are robust capacity expansion models of the ERCOT power grid infrastructure that can be modified to explore specific resilience plans. These plans typically involve grid interconnections, distributed energy resources, and storage options at utility and distributed scales. Ultimately, Drew will study the interactions between these three options on a case by case basis to determine what combinations of them might work in practice.

Professor of Philosophy, Dominican University
Drew M. Dalton is a Professor of Philosophy at Dominican University. He received his Ph.D. in 2006 from the University of Leuven (BE) through a partnership with both the Husserl Archives and the Center for Social and Political Philosophy. His research and teaching interests are primarily in Phenomenology, German Idealism, Speculative Materialism, and Psychoanalysis especially as they address questions of lasting social, political, and ethical concern. His first book, "Longing for the Other: Levinas and Metaphysical Desire," (Duquesne University Press, 2009) integrated these interests through an extended exploration of the roots and implications of Emmanuel Levinas' concept of desire, especially as it relates to the emergence of ethical concern and informs our understanding of the origins of social conflict. His last book, "The Ethics of Resistance: Tyranny of the Absolute," (Bloomsbury, 2018), extended this research by examining the concept of the absolute in ethical decision making and exploring its role in the problem of evil. In addition to these longer works, Dalton has published a number of shorter works in various philosophical and interdisciplinary journals including: Philosophy Today, Angelaki, The Graduate Faculty Philosophy Journal, Phenomenological Inquiry, Idealistic Studies, Studia Phaenomenologica, Open Philosophy, and others.

Duncan Watson
Professor of Applied Economics, University of East Anglia
Duncan, a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, is primarily a labour economist. While he remains dedicated to this domain, his recent research has taken a more unconventional direction. He has ventured beyond typical economic parameters, applying labour theory to a variety of unique subjects that many consider outside the conventional scope of the field. His innovative, interdisciplinary studies encompass areas such as the integration of economic psychology with housing demand modeling, the use of firm organization theory in addressing skill shortages, examining the effect of military spending on labour demand, and researching the implications of labour market inefficiencies on financial sector expenses.
Duncan is deeply involved in researching the student experience in education. He has contributed to the field of economics education with publications on curriculum design to optimise student engagement and a comprehensive overview of diverse assessment methods, from seminar evaluations and reflective exercises to group assessments and online discussion boards, all aimed at enriching the learning experience for students.
My research centres on enhancing Pedagogical Content Knowledge, which commits to advancing both disciplinary and educational research methodologies. The disciplinary aspect of my work draws on applied economics to empirically test hypotheses across a broad spectrum of issues, avoiding an overly narrow focus within the field. Meanwhile, my burgeoning work in pedagogical research examines the impact of teaching-only contracts on student experiences and emphasises the significance of economic pluralism. This approach advocates for diverse teaching methodologies, enriching student options for learning economics and fostering a more inclusive educational environment.
