Distinguished University Professor and Associate Dean Teacher Education, Western University
After teaching in the public school system in Ontario for nearly two decades, I completed a PHD in Education focused on how we teach and learn within the virtual world. For the past twenty years, I have conducted research that has looked deeply into communication with these 21st C skills across professions. As a scholar cross-appointed to the Dept of Medical Imaging, I have led educational projects in online learning and pedagogies for the International Atomic Energy Agency around the world. I also led the Educational Research response in Fukushima following the Nuclear Accident. This led to expansion of the teaching and learning framework to include a 'trauma and violence' informed model. Working with colleagues in Mental Health, we provided the first online Mental Health Literacy for educators course in Canada, and provided free, validated, virtual resources for teachers to support their knowledge and ability to care for themselves and their students.
I have worked with teams to design innovative platforms for particular audiences; I have taught for twenty years in courses on multiple platforms - including 'Learning Management systems that are not pedagogically helpful.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Sustainable Land Use, University of Manchester
I am currently working as a postdoc at Manchester University on the Sustainable Forest Transitions project. Me and my colleagues are exploring the drivers behind the patterns of reforestation occurring in many parts of the tropics and sub-tropics, and the social and environmental impacts of these changes.
I am also very interested in the impacts of mining as a land use. During my PhD I investigated the impacts of mining on the forests, and by proxy, biodiversity of Madagascar, and the effectiveness of measures to mitigate that impact, including biodiversity offsetting.
In my research, I use spatial and statistical methods to investigate the causes and effects of different land uses and conservation policies. The aim is to find pragmatic solutions which balance the needs of humans with that of the environment.

Masters student in Developmental Psychology, Queen's University, Ontario
I am currently a second-year MSc. student studying Developmental Psychology at Queen's University in the Adolescent Dynamics Lab under Dr. Tom Hollenstein's supervision and will be continuing into my doctoral studies. I completed my BScH. degree at the same institution with a Specialization in Bio-Psychology.
In terms of my research, my long-term goal is to gain a deeper understanding of adolescent digital experiences. Specifically, I aim to explore how youth engage with digital technologies, when, and for whom these technologies are most beneficial. Additionally, I am interested in how parents might be shaping such adolescent digital experiences.
So far, my research has centered on Digital Emotion Regulation, examining how adolescents use digital technologies to manage their emotions (e.g., texting a friend for social support). However, my current master's thesis focuses how adolescents and parents navigate conflict discussions related to digital topics (e.g., screen time, videogaming, social media) in comparison to non-digital or traditional sources of conflict (e.g., chores, schoolwork, sibling disputes).

Senior Lecturer in German and History, King's College London
Katrin Schreiter’s main research lies in the field of 20th-century German history. One area of focus has been the interplay of economics and culture during the Cold War, and how these arenas are connected to the politics of German and European diplomacy through negotiations over the German-German relationship. She employs material culture methodology as an anchor for identity discourses on national, regional, and individual levels. Related publications have included analysis of the two German states’ nation branding efforts as well as an examination of East German firm identity under the institutional pressures of communism.
Currently, Katrin is working on a new project that expands her scope of inquiry from Germany to Britain, Italy, and France at the turn of the 19th century. It will address port cities as zones of encounter between European populations and colonial products in the context of national imperial discourses. The comparison between major colonial ports of early and late colonial empires aims to shed light on the role of transnational links for socio-cultural development and formation of class identity in these four countries.

Research Fellow, University of Sydney
I am a Research Fellow at The Matilda Centre for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use, based at the University of Sydney. My research focuses on the interrelationship between mental health and substance use disorders, particularly anxiety and alcohol use disorders, to inform the development, evaluation and implementation of effective prevention, early intervention, and treatment programs. My work predominantly focuses on digital health interventions, to increase the reach and sustainability of my mental health and substance use interventions.
I have made independent, original, and significant contributions to the existing body of knowledge in this area by leading two independent programs of research that seek to: 1) develop and trial an innovative online Cognitive Bias Modification brain training program to reduce the severity and impact of anxiety and hazardous alcohol use among young adults (‘Re-Train Your Brain’, funded by a 3-year Postdoctoral Fellowship), and 2) understand the prevalence and impact of “drinking to cope” among postpartum mothers to inform the co-development of a novel, innovative and evidence-based anxiety-alcohol intervention tailored for new mothers (‘Healthy Mum, Healthy Bub’).
These programs of research build on my experience in developing, coordinating, and evaluating other interventions in world-first randomised controlled trials, including an internet-delivered early intervention for young adults who drink to cope with anxiety (the ‘Inroads’ study), and an integrated intervention for depression and substance use disorders (the ‘Activate’ study).
