Hsu, Ph.D., is an Investigator at the Bruyère Research Institute and a Lecturer in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Ottawa.

Alisha Palmer

PhD Candidate in English Literature, The University of Edinburgh

PhD Candidate in English Literature, The University of Edinburgh I am a PhD candidate conducting research at the intersections of English literature, the history of sexuality, and the medical humanities. I am a member of the Culture and the Reproductive Body research network. From the aesthetics of abortion in early twentieth-century women's literature to sadomasochism and plant subjectivity in contemporary fiction, my research interests span literary and theoretical engagements with the body, nature, and sexuality. My current research is focussed on the representation of abortion in British women's literature from 1900-1940. In the past, I have written about abortion in America in the early twentieth century, in post-colonial literature, in politics, and in queer theory. I have also written about ecocriticism, feminist theory, queer theory, and posthumanism.

Anthea-lee September-Van Huffel

Lecturer, University of the Free State

Lecturer, University of the Free State My research is in the area of land reform, governance and constitutional property law constructs with particular emphasis on improving 'holistic' security of tenure in rural communities that reflect and support the lived realities of people which directly impacts on their social and economic rights. Consequently, I have worked with rural communities consulting on the law pertaining to customary communal land and natural resource matters. I have, therefore, worked with the Department of Agriculture, Rural Development and Land Reform both at provincial and national level to assist rural communities and their customary structures to resolve and navigate complex land rights issues that can arise due to different property rights understandings and legal frameworks. I obtained my LLB and LLM from the University of the Western Cape and LLD from the University of the Free State. I am a lecturer at the University of the Free State, Law Faculty, Private Law department. Prior to academia, I practised in the property law departments of Edward Nathan Sonnenbergs Inc and Webber Wentzel Attorneys in Sandton, Johannesburg.
