Lecturer in climate policy and green economics, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Lewis is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, working at the intersection of climate policy and ecological economics. Through an interdisciplinary approach, his research unravels the complex challenges societies face in striving towards effective climate change mitigation. His work critically evaluates the commitments within the Paris Agreement and strategies proposed for fulfilling them, while advocating for alternative solutions to enhance current global sustainability efforts. Lewis is particularly interested in exploring and addressing the underlying societal factors that hinder successful climate action.
Assistant Professor, Education, Simon Fraser University Lilach Marom is an assistant professor in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Canada. In her research Lilach draws on critical theories to highlight issues of equity, anti-racism, and social justice in education. Lilach has worked as an educator in multiple contexts (in Israel, the United States, and Canada) with diverse students and communities.
Senior Lecturer in Conservation, University of York Louise Cooke is a conservation expert interested in sustainability, historic buildings, archaeological sites and landscapes. She is internationally recognised for her expertise in the study and conservation of Earth Buildings. She undertook an undergraduate degree in Archaeology at the University of Birmingham and then worked for the Museum of London Archaeology Service before joining the Archaeology Commissions team at English Heritage. In 2001 she was based in Lebanon working on the archive from the post-civil war Beirut Souks excavations. She then returned to study at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, undertaking an MA in Managing Archaeological Sites, and her PhD researching approaches to the conservation of earth structures. Her fieldwork was undertaken in Central Asia and the Middle East with particular focus on the multi-period earthen cities of Ancient Merv (Turkmenistan). From 2006 Louise combined teaching for the Open University with a wide-ranging portfolio of heritage consultancy work including work in the UEA, Peru, Turkey and the UK including the development of a £3.5 million HLF funded Landscape Partnership Scheme. She joined the Department in York in 2016.
Chancellor's Fellow in History of Art, The University of Edinburgh I specialise in performance, from dance and experimental theatre to live art. After completing my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at the University of Glasgow, I taught at Glasgow School of Art for several years. I am currently Chancellor's Fellow in History of Art at the University of Edinburgh. I was named an AHRC/BBC New Generation Thinker in 2020. I am the author of Pina Bausch’s Dance Theatre (Edinburgh University Press, 2018), and co-editor of Performance in a Pandemic (Routledge, 2021). I am completing a book for Routledge that explores the relationship between masculinity and self-injury in performance art. 'What Moves Them,' my global history of modern dance, will be published by Allen Lane in 2025.
Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Penn State My group works at the interface of hydrology, biogeochemistry, and environmental engineering. In particular, we are interested in understanding reactive transport processes where flow, transport, and biogeochemical reactions interact in natural systems. These processes dictate water quality and determine how natural systems respond to changing climate and human perturbations. We are particularly interested in understanding general principles that have prediction power across diverse climate and earth system conditions. We have worked on multiple topics at the nexus of water, environment, and energy, including, for example, water and biogeochemical cycling, contaminant reactive transport and bioremediation, and geological carbon sequestration, from as small as pore scale to as large as river basins.
