Senior lecturer in marine ecology, Griffith University
I am an ecologist with a broad interest in how ecological processes can be used to achieve better conservation and management of threatened communities. As an expert with the use of stable isotopes as an ecological tool, I have used novel approaches to examine ecological interactions from species to ecosystems. I have strong interests in fisheries management, with a particular focus on sharks and rays. I strive to develop novel methodologies to answer or improve on numerous research issues using cutting-edge techniques including drones. I have worked in a variety of environments, from terrestrial aquaria to coral reefs to remote seas in Tasmania.

Distinguished Professor of Humanities Emerita, Visual Arts, College of the Holy Cross
Both in teaching and scholarship, I am interested in religious art of all kinds, patterns of collecting, and intersections of the visual image and written culture. Most recently I edited Art, Piety, and Destruction in the Christian West, 1500-1700, Ashgate, 2010. I also worked with Sarah Stanbury, Department of English, and photographed East Anglian churches and guild halls to explore the physical context of medieval literary figures such as Julian of Norwich (Revelations) William Langland (Piers Plowman) Margery Kempe (The Book of Margery Kempe) and John Lydgate (poetry). See Mapping Margery Kempe. I have team-taught with many other professors, in Music, History, and Literature, and have been involved in both the Divine and the Natural World clusters of Montserrat. We actually created light installations in front of Hogan that reflected the diminishing hours of darkness and increasing hours of light leading to the March Equinox. In 2012, the Concentration Seminar traveled for a week in Cologne, where in addition to churches and museums, my German colleagues in stained glass provided an intensive tour of the restoration studio of the cathedral.
Many of my publications focus on stained glass, both historic and modern, as in Stained Glass from its Origins to the Present with Abrams (USA) and Thames and Hudson (GB) in 2003. A member of the International Corpus Vitrearum, I have co-authored Stained Glass before 1700 in the Midwest United States (Harvey Miller Press, London, 2002). I also wrote the catalogue essay for Kiki Smith's exhibition in the Pace Gallery, New York: Kiki Smith: Lodestar, 2010. I am currently at work on Stained Glass before 1700 in California (vol. 1, Los Angeles). Stained Glass: Radiant Art, a richly illustrated guide to the collection of medieval and Renaissance stained glass in the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, was published in 2013. From an experience of over 30 years of collaborative exchange with colleague in 20 countries, I've been deeply involved in questions of conservation and the commitment of maintaining historic sites as essential aspects of culture.
My museum exhibits have included Glory in Glass: Stained Glass in the United States: Origin, Variety and Preservation 1998-99, and Reflections on Glass: 20th Century Stained Glass in American Art and Architecture, 2002-03, at the Gallery at the American Bible Society, Catholic Collecting, Catholic Reflection 1538-1850: Objects as a measure of reflection on a Catholic past and the construction of recusant identity in England and America: Cantor Gallery, College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, 2006. Most recently I organized Pilgrimage and Faith: Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam, a traveling exhibition with venues in Worcester, Chicago, Richmond, and The Rubin Museum of Art, New York, from 2010 through 2011.

Assistant Professor of Latin American Environmental History, University of Iowa
I am a historian of modern Latin America, specializing in the 20th-century environmental history of Mexico.
I received my Ph.D. in History from the University of California, Davis in 2021. My research interests focus on the many forms in which the transnational movement of people, food commodities, and agricultural technologies change rural landscapes in Latin America. Currently, I am working on my first book project, “Guacamole Ecosystems: Agriculture, Migration, and Deforestation in Twentieth-Century Mexico,” that challenges the assumption that bureaucrats, scientists, and large-scale farmers were the primary actors in a long path of transformations of the Mexican countryside in the twentieth century. Through the case study of avocado cultivation in Michoacán, where eighty percent of the avocados consumed in the U.S. are grown every year, I analyze how Indigenous and mestizo peasants and returned migrant workers transformed their local landscape and economy by appropriating and adapting outside agricultural innovations, the varied effects of their participation in transforming ecosystems and power relationships, and their role as investors and negotiators in the global agribusiness complex. My research has been supported by several grants and fellowships, including the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), the American Historical Association (AHA), the Latin American Studies Association (LASA), and the Consortium for History of Science, Technology, and Medicine.

Assistant professor in business administration and entrepreneurship, Audencia
I am Assistant Professor at Audencia Business School in Nantes, France. Having a background in business studies (at Aalto University) as well as social sciences (at the University of Helsinki), my research interests focus on understanding the discourses, changes and challenges in societies at large, and how the need for more sustainable business practice and changes in macro-level policies affect the societal role of entrepreneurship.
To enhance the social impact of research, I have been involved in producing a number of policy reports for the United Nations on youth social entrepreneurship, and for Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the European Commission on inclusive entrepreneurship policies that aim to offer people from all social groups an equal opportunity to create a sustainable business.
My professional background lies in corporate communications, investor relations, branding and corporate social responsibility (CSR). I have worked in the corporate world as well as for organisations in the public and academic sectors for over a decade, and have a solid track record in executing and leading corporate communications tasks.
This range of experience has given me the joy and capacity to work in a fast-paced and international environment, and taught me to be broadly critical, analytical and focused. In the future I wish to combine these skills and, to follow my passion to contribute to the alleviation of environmental and social problems and to the advancement of sustainable development either at a local or a global level.
