Alastair Comery

PhD Candidate, Sociology, Centre for Death and Society, University of Bath
My PhD is entitled, A Gradual Farewell with Music. I will marry sociological and musicological paradigms to explore the embodied experience of music in people’s experiences of loss. To capture the dynamic role of music in bereaved people’s ongoing lives, I will focus on their interactions with music both during the dying process of their loved one and post loss. Drawing on the theory of ‘musicking’, I will explore how individuals both actively and passively draw on music to (re)shape themselves in facing loss and how a ‘music literacy’ may help better support individual’s experiences of bereavement. I will employ a qualitative approach, conducting interviews to capture unique perspectives little represented in the current literature.

Albert HiuKa Fok

Postdoctoral Fellow in Neuroscience, McGill University
I obtained my bachelor degree of biomedical sciences in the University of Hong Kong in 2016. I started my master right away and fast-tracked to obtain my PhD in neuroscience in 2021, during which I got involved in 6 publications, in 2 of which I am the first-listed author. I received extensive training in the cutting-edge theory about neurodevelopment, cognition, memory formation and neurological diseases. From 2022 until now, I am a postdoctoral fellow at McGill University, where I continue contributing to solving the questions regarding the nervous system in its health and also diseases. I have had profound experience in experimental neuroscience, especially with transgenic rodent models and non-human primate models, as shown in my previous publications. My research covers the finest scale of molecular biology to the holistic scale such as animal behaviours. I have been successful in discovering mechanisms which control memory formation in animals with state-of-the-art in vivo imaging techniques and will continue contributing to understanding the code our brain utilises to process complex information in our everyday reality.

Albert Van Wijngaarden

PhD Candidate, Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge
I am a PhD candidate at the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge. My research focusses on the social and ethical questions that arise alongside attempts to study ideas to artificially intervene in elements of the climate system in the Polar regions: Who is included such projects, and who isn't? What kind of questions are being asked, and how are uncertainties and risks treated? And how do these ideas relate to each other, and to more conventional adaptation or mitigation schemes?

My current academic journey officially takes place within the bounds of a Geography department, but I have a background that spans various social sciences and humanities disciplines, and have also made some forays into the earth sciences.

I have conducted research using both quantitative and qualitative methods, including functional magnetic resonance imaging. I am currently working on research projects focusing on continuous traumatic stress among adolescent-parent dyads; neurocognition trajectories in women with compared to women without HIV and the role trauma plays in this trajectory; and the moderating role of attachment in breakup distress among emerging adults following a romantic relationship dissolution.
I recently obtained my PhD in psychiatry from Stellenbosch University.

He has consulted with various organizations including Danish Refugee Council, Jesuit Refugee Service, UNICEF, Education International, and UNHCR, among others, on studies related to refugees in across sub-Saharan Africa. Alebachew has extensive experience working with refugees in the camps and urban areas of Ethiopia, and excellent insider knowledge of the refugee operation and refugee management systems in Ethiopia. Alebachew’s postdoctoral fellowship in the Center for African Studies focuses on studying the promises of Ethiopia’s new policy for inclusion of refugees into national education systems and the challenges of its local implementation using evidences from the Gambella region in the Western border of Ethiopia. His research project aims to explain how historical experiences of refugee inclusion/integration inform the implementation of the new policy; understand how diverse meanings of inclusion and different approaches for inclusion affect the implementation of the new policy; analyze hopes and fears of refugees and host communities related to the implementation of the new policy; and investigate existing capacities and incentives in the Ethiopian education system that can facilitate or hinder implementation of the new policy for inclusion of refugees into national education system.
