Jack Jenkins
Post-Doctoral Research Associate at the Department of Anthropology, Durham University
I am a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Anthropology at Durham University. At Durham, I work on the European Research Council-funded project 'ALIVEAfrica: Animals, Livelihoods and Wellbeing in Africa'. Within ALIVEAfrica, I lead a case study on hunting and bushmeat-related livelihoods in Sierra Leone, exploring topics such as the legitimacy and local knowledge of wildlife laws, dynamics of trust and secrecy among different actors, zoonotic disease risks in markets, and livelihood impacts of the bushmeat trade. This research builds upon my previous work investigating rural lives and livelihoods in Liberia and Sierra Leone, which examined how improved transport connectivity contributes to development in areas like agriculture, education, employment, community cohesion, health, and women's economic empowerment. Through my research, I aim to contribute to interdisciplinary understandings of the complex relationships between transport, mobility, livelihoods, and development in sub-Saharan Africa.

Jack Williams
PhD Student in Department for Music, University of Bristol
During my time at university, I have had many interests in musicology, but my main interest has always been in pop music and pop culture. Currently, I am a 2nd year PhD student at the University of Bristol, researching the disco revival during the pandemic and how nostalgia and escapism influenced music. My overall interest in pop music tends to focus on music created or celebrated by minorities, however, I also find the concept of 'what is popular' fascinating. In my personal life, I am an avid fan of pop music and keep up to date with the releases from many artists, and I find this relationship between fan and artist interesting and would like to research it. My previous research has looked at Madonna's use of disco in 2005, as well as Black musical canon creation in the music of Lizzo and Janelle Monáe. I am also a keen follower of music award shows and find the institutionalisation of musical achievement an area that needs constant research and attention.
Research interests specifically would include; pop music, revivals, award shows, cultural commentary in music, music from queer experiences, chart music.

Jacob Crouse
Research Fellow in Youth Mental Health, Brain and Mind Centre, University of Sydney
I'm a National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Research Fellow at the University of Sydney's Brain and Mind Centre.
I lead a program of research funded by the NHMRC and Wellcome Trust that combines biologic, clinical, wearable, and subjective measures to shed light on the causes of mental disorders in young people (particularly depression and bipolar disorder), and to better understand the factors that shape people's clinical trajectories (particularly during early phases).
My major interest is in the potential role that dysregulation of the brain and body's circadian clocks might play in the emergence of depressive and bipolar disorders. The objective of this work is to integrate measures of brain, body, and environment to understand what the circadian system can teach us about mood disorders, and to potentially uncover new targets for treatments.
