PhD Candidate in Philosophy, Kingston University Gabriella Daris is completing a PhD in Philosophy at the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP), Kingston University London. Her doctoral thesis problematizes the instruction/institution dialectic in a 1960s context and examines critically the ontological distinctiveness, metaphysical importance, and social significance of Yoko Ono’s conceptual art. She works within a critical theoretical tradition based on a transdisciplinary conception of philosophy used as an apparatus for a transformative dynamic of art criticism. Her interests include aesthetics and philosophy of art, art theory, continental philosophy, and Critical Theory, with an art-historical focus on late modern, avant-garde and contemporary art. She has held Visiting lectureships at Yale University (2023) and the University of Belgrade (2022), and a Visiting Research Fellowship at Waseda University (2022). In 2023, she designed an extracurricular philosophy of art course on the concepts of freedom and play in Friedrich Schiller and Yoko Ono and delivered it to state secondary schools across London. Formerly a critic at Blouin Artinfo and Modern Painters, she is the curator of Yoko Ono: Looking For… (2019) and the convenor of the first international symposium on Yoko Ono held jointly at the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University in 2019. Her academic research and curatorial projects have been supported by the Getty Foundation; the Henry Moore Foundation; the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation; the Emily Harvey Foundation; the British Society of Aesthetics; the British Association for Japanese Studies; the Association for Art History; and the British Council.

Professor in Palliative Medicine, University of Adelaide Prof Crawford's major research activities are into the psychological issues for people and their carers, as the end of life approaches, as well as clinicians. He has particular interest in not only end-stage cancer, but also the issues for people with non-malignant disease. He has recently lead an NHMRC funded study into the end of life issues for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and is involved in research about heart failure, neurological disease and end-stage renal disease at the end of life. Current PhD students have projects considering explanatory models of depression in psychiatrists, palliative medicine physicians and patients; the way that medical specialists deal with death and dying when their patients die; the role of the health system in chronic disease management and the transition to end of life; and the meaning of suffering in palliative care. These PhD studies and previously funded NHMRC studies have provided Professor Crawford with skills in running research projects both with quantitative and qualitative components. He is a CI in 2 MRFF studies: early introduction to palliative care to cancer patients and an RCT investigating the role of cannabis in GI side-effects of chemotherapy.
