Annabel M. Yates

PhD Candidate in School of Creative and Cultural Industries, Kingston University

PhD Candidate in School of Creative and Cultural Industries, Kingston University Annabel is a PhD student of Creative Writing at Kingston University. She first began studying Creative Writing when she undertook her BA(Hons) in English Literature and Creative Writing, going on to complete an MA in Creative Writing, both at Kingston University. She is currently researching feminist theory and is writing her first novel, aimed at young teenagers. She is analysing how asserting agency leads to the villainization of female characters, and aims to explore this within her own novel. Despite learning difficulties, including dyslexia, she has always loved for stories and often rereads the novels she grew up loving as a child, such as Jacqueline Wilson. The first chapter book she remembers borrowing from the library to read independently was Vicky Angel by Jacqueline Wilson, which she read under the table at a family vow renewal! She enjoys authors who write about young girls who are diverse and realistic, no matter the genre. She especially enjoys authors who write for all age groups, so that readers can grow up with the authors they love. One of her current favourite authors is Holly Bourne, whose recent YA novel, You Could Be So Pretty, has informed and been included in her thesis research.

Aarin-Conrad Allen

Ph.D. Candidate in Marine Sciences, Florida International University

Ph.D. Candidate in Marine Sciences, Florida International University Aarin has worked with marine mammals since 2009, and has extensive experience from husbandry and training to strandings rescue and necropsy. His previous research has taken him from Florida to Central America studying marine mammals. He also has experience working as a scuba instructor and USCG-licensed captain. His current research examines the drivers of resource selection in South Florida manatees, and their vulnerability to the decline of seagrass beds. Aarin also investigates how manatees, as large herbivores, influence ecosystem dynamics. Manatees feed on a diverse range of vegetation in both marine, brackish, and fresh water, and can impact the flow of nutrients between environments. Aarin’s previous work focuses on the selection, consumption, and breakdown of dietary items fed on by wild and captive manatees.
