Professor of Educational Psychology, The Ohio State University Dr. Tzu-Jung Lin is a Professor of Educational Psychology in the Department of Educational Studies at The Ohio State University. She received a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and a master's degree in Applied Statistics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her research centers on understanding classroom social dynamics and how classroom instruction can be carefully designed to enhance the quality of learning and development. She was a National Academy of Education/Spencer postdoctoral fellows in 2016-2017, during which she designed and implemented an innovative collaborative small-group discussion approach called Collaborative Social Reasoning (CSR) to promote students’ interpersonal and academic competencies. The fruitful and promising findings from the CSR project inspired her and her colleagues to design the Digital Civic Learning (DCL) curriculum. She has published articles in high-ranked journals such as the Journal of Educational Psychology, Contemporary Educational Psychology, Child Development, Learning and Instruction, Cognition and Instruction, and British Journal of Educational Psychology. She is an editorial board of the Journal of Educational Psychology, Contemporary Educational Psychology, and Reading and Writing.
John and Penelope Biggs Distinguished Professor of Classics, Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis Professor Moore's work concentrates on several areas of classical antiquity, including the comic theater of Greece and Rome, Greek and Roman music, and Roman historiography. Moore's current projects include articles on music, meter and dance in ancient theater, an online database of the meters of Greek and Roman drama, and a long-range project on musical theatre in ancient Greece and Rome. He also has interests in the history of theater, especially American musical theater and Japanese Kyōgen comedy.
PhD Candidate in Language and Politics, University of New England I am an international student pursuing Doctor of Philosphy (PhD) in Language and Politics in UNE. I was a journalist for more than 17 years before commencing the study.
Professor of Social Philosophy, University of Cumbria I am a Professor of Social Philosophy and Head of the Graduate School at the University of Cumbria. My research explores the intersection between professional practices and philosophy, looking at specific sites where intellectual pursuit and its material conditions are placed in tension with one another: whether in applied service delivery (such as the concepts underlying health provision or social work practice), or in cultural discussions (such as irony, cliche, silence and ignorance). I work mainly in the hermeneutic tradition, drawing together philosophy with contemporary art, video games, film and public debate. I also lead Health and Society Knowledge Exchange (HASKE), which is a contract research and evaluation centre that has a particular focus on cultural change in health and care provision, exploring new intervention pathways, allied health role change and training, and regional health determinants. My main research interests are: - Philosophical and political issues in social work, social care and health - Cultural and Philosophical Hermeneutics - Critical and Post-Critical Theory - Rhetoric, Contemporary Applications of Rhetoric, particularly in Visual and Gaming Culture - Social and Applied Ethics - Philosophy of Research Methodologies, particularly Evaluation - Gender and Feminist Philosophy
Professor of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford My main research interests centre on the science behind volcanoes and volcanic behaviour. My motivation is to understand volcanoes as (a) natural hazards, (b) a key planetary scale process throughout geological time, vital for maintaining habitability and (c) natural resources (e.g., geothermal power and the development of ore deposits). Specific interests include: The atmospheric chemistry of volcanic plumes including the effects due to background air mixing into the hot gas mixture and volcanic lightning; Quantifying and understanding the volcanic fluxes of chemical species of atmospheric importance over different temporal and spatial scales (gases and particles) and their roles in global geochemical cycles; Volcanic degassing processes and the formation of volcanic aerosol; The emission and chemistry of mercury in volcanic plumes; The ultimate fate, atmospheric and environmental effects of volcanic emissions; Using stable isotopes to understand volcanic processes; The cycling of volatiles through subduction zones; Patterns and forcing of volcanism on the arc scale; Studying volcanic deformation in order to understand the physical processes of magma movement and storage and the structure and stability of volcanic edifices. These interests also lead me away from volcanoes at times and I have also studied the emissions from an oil depot fire (Buncefield 2005) and am generally interested in the global mercury cycle as well as other biogeochemical cycles.
Senior research fellow - Griffith Centre for Social and Culture Research, Griffith University Dr Troy Meston is a Gamilleroi Senior Research Fellow in the Griffith Centre for Social and Culture Research. His work employs critical Indigenous studies and decolonial praxis to investigate the intersections between education, technology & Indigenous studies. He has amassed a diversified body of work, constructed curriculum, and industry outputs across the areas of Indigenous sport, financial literacy, cognitive science, Indigenous health, and education. Troy applies national research acumen from roles with peak bodies, such as the Australian Sports Commission and Australian Institute of Sport, where he developed the 'Yulunga: Indigenous Games' publication, and managed Indigenous athletes in a program which led toward the Bejing and London Olympic games. He is a former Research Fellow with the Australian Council for Educational Research, where as part of an Indigenous team, he produced outputs for the Prime Minister and Cabinet, ASIC, and the ARC Science of Learning Research Centre. Troy is currently the Indigenous pedagogy leader on the 'Digitising the deep past: Machine learning, rock art and Indigenous engagements with 21st century technology' project, working with Indigenous learners in remote communities.
