Vladimir Bortun

Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Oxford
I am a critical political scientist interested in political elites, class, left parties, transnational politics, and the EU. Currently, I work on the Changing Elites project, hosted by the Department of Social Policy and Intervention at the University of Oxford. Here, I focus on the impact of class background on the ideology and decision-making of power elites.
At the same time, I am developing a research agenda around the class character of right-wing populist parties in Western Europe. I am interested, in particular, in their economic policymaking and the class background of their party elites.
My work is rooted in a historical materialist approach and has been published so far in the Journal of Common Market Studies, Capital & Class, New Political Science, Qualitative Research, and European Political Science. My first book, "Crisis, Austerity and Transnational Party Cooperation in Southern Europe: The Radical Left's Lost Decade", was published in 2023 by Palgrave Macmillan.

Vladimir Chlouba

Assistant Professor of Leadership Studies, University of Richmond
Dr. Vladimir Chlouba, assistant professor of leadership studies, researches the conditions that underpin political order in weak states. In particular, he is an expert in traditional leadership with a regional focus in sub-Saharan Africa. He also investigates the long-term ramifications of colonialism and the enduring effects of early statehood on the African continent. Having conducted extensive field research in several African countries, including Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, and Malawi, he is keen to involve his students in hands-on research experiences in the developing world.

Dr. Chlouba received his doctorate in political science at The Ohio State University. Prior to joining the Jepson School in 2023, he was a visiting fellow at the Kellogg Institute for International Studies at the University of Notre Dame. At the Kellogg Institute, he explored how norms habituated by inhabitants of precolonial African states continue to shape ordinary people's attitudes toward politics today.

Dr. Chlouba’s work has been published in leading academic journals, including Comparative Political Studies, Journal of Historical Political Economy, and others. Outside of academic work, he has co-authored several policy-oriented reports published by the World Bank. To learn more about Vladimir Chlouba’s research and teaching, visit his personal website.

Vuyisile Moyo

Post-doctoral Research Fellow, African Climate and Development Initiative, University of Cape Town
Dr Vuyisile Moyo is currently a postdoctoral research fellow at ACDI, University of Cape Town. Dr Moyo is a researcher and development practitioner focusing on communities' adaptation and transformation to climate change. His mission is to promote sustainable biodiversity and co-existence, balancing political ecology, political economy, and sustainable livelihoods in Africa. This entails that people have to live in harmony with their natural environment and vice versa to cater for the future of the upcoming generations.

Dr Moyo is currently working on the Heat Adaptation Benefits for Vulnerable Groups in Africa (HABVIA) project to address some of the large evidence gaps on the human health and wider social outcomes of heat adaptation in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The study intends to co-produce and implement heat adaptation interventions for low-income/informal housing and manual labour in four heat-vulnerable communities in South Africa and Ghana, gathering high-quality cohort data on the human physiological and mental health response to heat, alongside climate, environmental and qualitative information, building on well-established health-research partnerships.

Dr Moyo is a former research fellow at Stellenbosch University, Rufford Foundation, Research Platform in Production and Conservation in Partnership (RP-PCP), CIRAD, and the Centre for Applied Social Sciences (CASS) at the University of Zimbabwe.

Other areas of expertise include social research, workshop facilitation, training, strategic communications, conducting participatory monitoring and evaluation covering themes such as climate change resilience and transformation, artisanal small-scale mining, human rights, governance, key populations, sustainable development, gender, migration, and health in Africa.

Dr Moyo has also worked on projects funded by organizations such as WHO, USAID, UNDP, UNFPA, and PEPFAR.
