Joe Wright
Professor of Political Science, Penn State
I teach in the Department of Political Science at Pennsylvania State University and currently serve as the co-Director of the Global and International Studies (GLIS) program. I previously held the Jeffrey L. and Sharon D. Hyde Early Career Professorship. I completed my Ph.D. at UCLA . Prior to arriving at Penn State, I was a post-doctoral research associate at Princeton University and a visiting faculty fellow at the University of Notre Dame. In 2016 I was on leave in Cape Town as a visiting scholar at Economic Research Southern Africa (ERSA).
My first book (with Abel Escriba-Folch), Foreign Pressure and the Politics of Autocratic Survival (Oxford University Press, 2015) examines how foreign policy tools destabilize dictatorships. This book won the 2017 Stein Rokkan Prize for Comparative Social Science Research. A second book, with Barbara Geddes and Erica Frantz, is How Dictatorships Work (Cambridge University Press, 2018). A third book, Migration and Democracy: How Remittances Undermine Dictatorships (co-authored with Abel Escriba-Folch and Covadonga Meseguer), will be published by Princeton University Press. A current book project is Personalist Parties and the Death of Democracy. Recent research has also been published in the American Journal of Political Science, Foreign Affairs, International Studies Quarterly, the Journal of East Asian Studies, Journal of Democracy, and the Journal of Politics. My research has been funded by the National Science Foundation and the Minerva Research Initiative.

Joel Cabrita
Associate Professor of History, Director of the Center for African Studies, Stanford University
Joel Cabrita is a historian of modern Southern Africa who focuses on Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) and South Africa. Her most recent book is Written Out: The Silencing of Regina Gelana Twala (Ohio University Press, 2023). Twala was an unjustly neglected Black African literary figure in apartheid South Africa and colonial Swaziland (now Eswatini). The book shows that her posthumous obscurity has been no accident, charting how white scholars and politicians used racial and gendered prejudices to erase Twala’s work and claim her uncompensated intellectual labor for themselves.
Cabrita's other publications include The People’s Zion: Southern Africa, the United States and a Transatlantic Faith-Healing Movement (Harvard University Press, 2018) which investigates the convergence of evangelical piety, transnational networks and the rise of industrialized societies in both Southern Africa and North America. The People's Zion was awarded the American Society of Church History's Albert C Outler Prize for 2019 https://churchhistory.org/grants-and-awards/ She is also the co-editor of a volume examining the global dimensions of Christian practice, advocating for a shift away from Western Christianity to the lateral connections connecting southern hemisphere religious practitioners (Relocating World Christianity, Brill, 2017).
Cabrita has a long-standing interest in how Southern Africans used and transformed a range of old and new media forms. Her first book (Text and Authority in the South African Nazaretha Church, Cambridge University Press, 2014) investigates the print culture of a large South African religious organization, while her edited collection (Religion, Media and Marginality in Africa, Ohio University Press, 2018) focuses on the intersection of media, Islam, Christianity and political expression in modern Africa.
Cabrita did her PhD at the University of Cambridge and was subsequently a Junior Research Fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge. Before moving to Stanford, she held permanent posts at SOAS (University of London) and the University of Cambridge. Her research has been recognized by two major early-career research prizes, the British Arts and Humanities Early Career Research Fellowship (2015) and the Philip Leverhulme Prize (2017).

Joey Crozier
PhD Candidate, Secrecy, Propaganda and Intelligence Gathering, Aberystwyth University
PhD thesis title: ‘Secrecy, Propaganda, and Intelligence Gathering: The World of James Johnston and the Glorious Revolution (1687-97).'
(Formerly - Gossip, Print and Espionage: The Glorious Revolution in the British Atlantic World)
The story of the 1688 Glorious Revolution is an ancient one. Nevertheless, the role of Scottish intelligencers in service of the House of Orange throughout the revolution have been largely overlooked. This project aims to conduct an original investigation into intelligence gathering during the era of the Glorious Revolution. Indeed, it sets out to interrogate how influential intelligence gatherers were during the late seventeenth century through the lens of one extraordinary intelligence operative, James Johnston (1655-1737). In examining the role of Johnston during the revolution, I hope to reveal more about the mechanics of clandestine networks; the sorts of intelligence that contributed to political propaganda; and the conspirators who closely assisted Johnston in his service to William of Orange.

Johan Schot
Director of Science Policy Research Unit, University of Sussex
Professor Johan Schot joined the University of Sussex as the Director of SPRU – Science Policy Research Unit - in January 2014. He is a Professor in the History of Technology and Sustainability Transitions Studies. His research is wide ranging but has always focused on integrating social science and historical perspectives for a better understanding of the nature and governance of radical socio-technical change. Prior to coming to Sussex, he held academic posts at the Eindhoven University of Technology and University of Twente, Netherlands. Under Johan’s directorship, SPRU is embarking on an ambitious, new strategy to expand and build on its impressive track record across research, teaching, impact and engagement. The strategy, designed in the lead-up to the 50th anniversary in 2016, will draw on SPRU’s extensive activities and capture the best thinking within and beyond SPRU.
As part of this new strategy, Johan and SPRU colleagues aim to develop a new innovation theory which will address the current crisis of capitalism and a number of key challenges our world is facing: inequality, climate change, the democratic deficit, and the need to develop new system of provision for security, food, water, energy, healthcare and mobility. Necessarily the program will theorize the nature, scale and scope of long-term transformative change, and ways of providing directionality to economic growth. The new theory will synthesize insights from economics of innovation, science & technology studies, history of technology, and other relevant fields.
Johan is in an excellent position to nurture the development of such a programme in SPRU. His work has always been at the junction of various academic fields and disciplines. In 2009, Johan Schot was elected to the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) for the genuine interdisciplinarity of his work. He has been heavily involved in the development of innovative new concepts and interpretations, and has co-produced highly cited and influential academic contributions. In 2002 he was awarded a VICI grant by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). This is a personal award for top-scholars comparable with the ERC Advance Investigator Grant.
His ability to create and pioneer large scale, creative, academic collaborations has helped to transform policy practices, broaden academic understandings, and develop new innovative outputs in the form of programmes, book series and networks.
Johan has always been keen to support and invest in PhD students and early career scholars. He was the founder and director of several doctoral programmes as well as a string of summer schools and master classes. A passionate teacher, Johan has been heavily involved in designing and developing undergraduate and graduate programmes that incorporate social science and humanities perspectives into the education of future business leaders, policy makers, engineers and scientist.

He also oversaw the wire service’s 2013 Final Four coverage and was a key editor at the World Cup in South Africa. He also represented the AP at the 2012 Associated Press Sports Editors convention and at APSE’s sessions this year with commissioners from major pro sports leagues. He has also covered the Super Bowl and the World Series.
Reporters and projects under Affleck’s direct supervision have been honored in dozens of regional and national contests, and have earned awards from a wide array of groups, including the nation’s education writers, religion reporters and the lesbian and gay journalists association. Work under his guidance has captured the AP’s top internal prizes for news enterprise, sports enterprise and sports features.
As the Knight Chair, Affleck will serve as director of the John Curley Center for Sports Journalism, housed in the College of Communications. The Curley Center, a first-of-its-kind academic endeavor in U.S. higher education when founded in 2003, explores issues and trends in sports journalism through instruction, programming and research.
As Affleck transitions to higher education, he brings a lifelong passion for education and sports journalism to the position. He worked for the AP in Albany, N.Y., Buffalo, N.Y., and Cleveland before moving to the organization’s main office in New York. Along with his leadership and mentoring young reporters, Affleck also has earned writing awards himself. He brings an appreciation of journalism fundamentals and an understanding of the need for innovation in the changing multimedia journalism environment to the position.
As director of the Center, Affleck will: teach several courses, including sports writing; serve as a voice about sports journalism issues and trends; and coordinate the Center’s programming, which includes a variety of partnerships at Penn State and off campus for guest lectures and special events. Guests for Center programming have included Christine Brennan, Bob Costas, John Feinstein, Brent Musburger, Bob Ryan and more.

Since then, he has exhibited his work worldwide: e.g., the Guggenheim Museum in Italy, Museum of Modern Art Melbourne and New Orleans Museum of Art - are three such examples of high-profile venues worldwide. Recent publications on Atkins’ public art output focus on references to cultural heritage within urban design.
Atkin has been invited to present keynote papers at a number of conferences worldwide including, 16th China Sculpture Forum. DIAOSU- National Sculpture Magazine of China: Sculpture by the Sea Symposium -Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney, Australia: Understanding the Post-Industrial City: Universidade Técnica de Lisboa Bauhaus – Lisbon, Portugal: International Sculpture Centre Conference, Pittsburgh USA: Curating in Action – Art as Social Practice, China Academy of Art, Hangzhou, China.
Atkin is Reader in Fine Art and Director of Internationalisation at Loughborough University, and has lectured at numerous institutions worldwide, including Boston University: Tsinghua University, Beijing: Virginia Commonwealth University: Kansas City Art Institute: Hartford University, CT.: Sydney College of the Arts: Victoria College Melbourne: The Curtin Institute, Perth.
He is Honorary Fellow, National Academy of Sculpture, Beijing, and Fellow at the Royal Society of Sculptors, London.
John Atkin has developed a substantial body of work over the past 40 years which has been exhibited worldwide in the form of solo and group exhibitions, as well as public art. His research interests have evolved from the use of the found object as a metaphor for human identity into how outcomes from such research can be embedded into the public realm via regeneration projects worldwide.
His early work is characterised by a series of figurative artworks which explore his own identity through the examination of family relationships, principally his father. The resulting artworks, sculpture, installation, tableaux, painting, film, screenplay formed the basis of a series of exhibitions, Juda Rowan Gallery London, Hatton Gallery, Ceolfrith Gallery.
Themes of conflict permeated his output, which led to the development of further works influenced by study visits to, the Imperial War Museum, Wallace Collection, First World War poetry. Outcomes have been exhibited widely, from the Peggy Guggenheim Museum Italy, to Olympic Park Beijing.
His output has straddled the digital-divide, where one half of his career is characterised by traditional making processes, and since 2003 has become an increasing synthesis of digital and traditional methods of making. Drawing has been the central plank of this extensive activity, recognised by significant awards from, the Rootstein Hopkins Foundation, Royal College of Art, and Loughborough University.
Atkin continues to work with Interdisciplinary Design Teams, where the role of art in urban regeneration projects and urban design are key factors in shaping public space. To this end, he collaborates with Architects, Urban Designers, Landscape Architects, City Planners, Highway Engineers, Environmental Designers, Civil & Building Engineers, and other Design groups.
Although his studio is the discreet environment for developing ideas, his work takes place worldwide, often working as an embedded component in fabrication team’s, as well as community groups, where history and heritage are prerequisites of a projects aims and objectives.
