Geraldine Heng is the Mildred Hajek Vacek and John Roman Vacek Chair in English at the University of Texas at Austin, where she is cross-appointed to Middle Eastern Studies, Women's Studies, Jewish Studies, and the Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Social Justice. Elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2023 and a Fellow of the Medieval Academy of America, she founded and directs the Global Middle Ages Project (G-MAP), a major interdisciplinary initiative promoting global perspectives on premodernity. With a Ph.D. from Cornell University, Heng has pioneered the field of premodern critical race studies, fundamentally challenging the assumption that race is a modern construct. Her research focuses on literary, cultural, and social encounters between worlds, particularly through the lenses of race, gender, sexuality, class, and religion, with special attention to medieval Europe's interactions with Asia and Africa. Heng's scholarly work reveals how medieval global connections shaped cultural production and identity formation long before the so-called 'Age of Exploration.' Her approach synthesizes literary analysis, historical research, and critical theory to uncover the deep roots of globalization and its implications for understanding contemporary identity politics and cultural exchange. Her publications demonstrate a consistent trajectory toward increasingly global frameworks, moving from studies of medieval romance to comprehensive examinations of early global interconnectedness. This evolution reflects her commitment to dismantling Eurocentric narratives of the medieval world and revealing the complex networks of exchange that characterized premodern societies across Afro-Eurasia. 2019 PROSE prize in Global History 2019 Academy of American Literature prize in Historical Studies 2019 Robert W. Hamilton Grand Prize 2020 Otto Gründler prize Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2023) Fellow of the Medieval Academy of America Heng has secured approximately $750,000 in grants for digital projects and held eight major fellowships at research centers.

Catherine E Walsh is a senior professor and director of the doctoral programme in Latin American Cultural Studies at the Andean University Simón Bolívar in Ecuador. Her academic work centers on decolonial theory, critical interculturality, and the political, epistemic and ethical dimensions of knowledge production in Latin America, with particular focus on Indigenous and Black social movements across the region. Walsh's research interests span decolonial studies, Indigenous epistemic traditions, critical pedagogy, race and gender studies, and Latin American political movements. She has developed influential theoretical frameworks including "re-existence" and "cracks" to understand how alternative social practices emerge from below to challenge coloniality and hegemonic neoliberalism. Her work places Indigenous knowledge systems in conversation with feminists of color like M. Jacqui Alexander and Maria Lugones, as well as anticolonial theorists like Frantz Fanon, creating a rich interdisciplinary approach that bridges social movements with academic theory. She examines how communities living in direct relation with the land challenge Western nation-state sovereignty and imagine alternative forms of humanity "after Man." Walsh's publication trajectory reveals a consistent evolution from early work on educational exclusion of Latinos in the United States toward increasingly sophisticated decolonial frameworks. Her recent scholarship demonstrates how decolonial "cracks"—understood as extant and nascent fissures in the dominant order—take form through ground-up theorizing and practice. She argues for moving beyond "pedagogy as justice" toward "pedagogies of and for life" that enable alternative modes of living despite and beyond the capitalist-modern-colonial-racist system. Her work consistently centers Indigenous and Afro-descendant knowledge while critically engaging with Western theoretical frameworks. Among her most significant contributions is the 2023 book "Rising Up, Living On," which provides a comprehensive overview of Indigenous and Black militant social movements in Latin America from the mid-1990s to the present. As an editor, she has made foundational decolonial works accessible to broader audiences through her 2024 editorial work on "Aníbal Quijano: Foundational Essays on the Coloniality of Power." Her conceptual development of "re-existence" has become a powerful framework for understanding resistance that not only opposes domination but actively creates new forms of being and knowing.
