A/Prof of Marine Conservation Science & Director of the Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science (CBCS), The University of Queensland I am an Associate Professor in the School of the Environment, and the Director of the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation Science at the University of Queensland. My research focuses on how migratory species use and connect the ocean, how we can use spatial management measures to help conserve them, and how we need to work together on regional and global scales to manage them. I have worked with seven UN Conventions and organisations to try to provide the information and tools necessary to support a healthy ocean. My research focuses on applying ecological and biogeographical theory to develop applied solutions to natural resource management and conservation problems in the ocean across a range of scales. I am particularly interested in developing and disseminating actionable information to inform conservation planning in areas beyond national jurisdiction and improving environmental governance of that “other” half of our planet.

Lecturer in Psychology, University of Southampton Dr Dennis Golm is a Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Southampton and Editor-in-Chief of Adoption & Fostering. His main research interests lie within the field of developmental psychopathology. He is interested in the mechanisms through which early risk factors, especially early adverse experiences such as institutional deprivation and childhood maltreatment in general, contribute to the emergence of mental health problems later in life. He is especially interested in biological markers of early adversity. He teaches lectures in developmental and clinical psychology, and in developmental psychopathology. He leads the optional third year undergraduate module “Childhood maltreatment and mental health”. He is the programme lead for the Education Mental Health Practitioner Programme. He further co-leads the outreach project NeuroKids. The project educates young children about the brain through educational videos and school workshops.
Lecturer in Sociology and Criminology, University of Bradford My research interests are identity and heavy metal music, with a particular focus on how heavy metal identities are expressed throughout the course of everyday life and how shared music preference fosters a sense of belonging. I am also interested in exploring the role of others in relation to heavy metal fandom - including parental and peer influence, and social interactions stemming from shared musical taste. I am also interested in exploring how popular culture focuses on issues around identity.
