Assistant Professor, Global Development Studies, Queen's University, Ontario
Dr. Rebecca Hall is an Assistant Professor of the Political Economy of Resource Extraction and Development in the Department of Global Development Studies at Queen’s University. As a feminist political economist concerned with social justice, her research examines how land and resources are accessed, organized, and extracted from, and how people work, care and reproduce upon this land. Her research has explored the gendered dynamics of resource extraction in Canada; social reproduction and caring labours; ongoing processes of settler colonialism; and gender violence. Her 2022 book, Refracted Economies: Diamond Mining and Social Reproduction in the North (University of Toronto Press), examines the gendered dynamics of diamond mining in the Northwest Territories, Canada.

NHMRC Emerging Leadership Fellow, School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, Deakin University
Dr Rebecca Leech is a Registered Nutritionist (RNutr.) and Nutritional Epidemiologist. She has a PhD in Nutritional Epidemiology, and in 2018, was awarded an Alfred Deakin Medal for her doctoral thesis, which examined adults’ eating patterns and their relationships with overall diet quality and markers of cardiometabolic health. Eating patterns describe the timing, frequency, and food content of eating occasions, which includes meals and snacks. Her current research applies novel analysis techniques and assessment methods to understand the contextual determinants of eating patterns. Rebecca's research intends to inform the development of strategies for healthy eating that are context-specific and tailored to everyday situations.
Since the award of her PhD in 2018 Rebecca has held three consecutive fellowships and has received over $673k in research funding (National Heart Foundation; National Health & Medical Research Council) as lead investigator.

I am a Lecturer in Political Theory at the University of Warwick. Prior to this, I taught Political Theory at the University of Oxford, and before that, taught for several years at the University of Manchester.
I have a PhD in Political Theory from the University of Manchester. My doctoral research was concerned with moral psychology and the role played by emotion and sentiment in public reason and the construction of morality, but since then I have become more radical in both my thinking and my activism. I am now especially interested in the challenge posed to class based liberation movements by the shift towards identity politics, and in particular the implications of this for feminist theory and practice. I have written extensively about the nature of sex, gender and identity, and am currently in the process of completing a book on the subject, entitled “The Politics of Gender Identity: A Feminist Critique”, to be published by Palgrave in late 2016.

Associate Professor of Old English, University College Dublin
My PhD thesis and first book examined the interactions between Latin and English in Early Medieval England, culminating in my monograph The Politics of Language: Byrhtferth, Ælfric, and the Multilingual Identity of the Benedictine Reform. My more recent work has expanded to consider scientific writings produced in the Early Middle ages. I am particularly interested in the fields of medicine and the study of computus, which is the medieval method for calculating time and movable liturgical observances, like Easter. As part of these calculations, medieval writers began calculating the date of the end of the world and the coming apocalypse, and my current book project deals with apocalyptic ideas circulating in England in the late tenth and early eleventh century, a time of active Viking invasion.
