Ajay Parasram is an Associate Professor cross-appointed to the Department of International Development Studies, Department of History, and Department of Political Science at Dalhousie University in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. His work critically examines the colonial present through the lens of structural violence related to race, caste, class, and patriarchy. Dr. Parasram's educational background includes a BA (Honours) from Dalhousie University, an MA from Carleton University, and a PhD from Carleton University. His transnational, multigenerational experience as a byproduct of empire deeply informs his research and teaching approach. Parasram's research focuses on three primary interconnected areas: pluriversal sovereignty with particular attention to 19th century Sri Lanka's entanglements in the British empire; settler-colonial studies and decolonial options grounded in his experience as an immigrant to Mi'kma'ki; and a SSHRC-funded project examining the racialization of Asian international students to Canadian universities. His scholarship challenges conventional narratives of development, sovereignty, and citizenship, arguing that many contemporary structural forms of violence have roots in imperial encounters that have been sanitized of their colonial histories. His extensive publication record demonstrates consistent engagement with themes of coloniality, sovereignty, and racialization. Recent work shows an increasing focus on pluriversal approaches to sovereignty, settler-colonial critique, and the application of decolonial theory to contemporary political challenges. His scholarship bridges historical analysis with urgent contemporary concerns about racial justice, Indigenous sovereignty, and alternative political imaginaries. Among his notable recognitions are: SSHRC Insight Grant as Co-Investigator and project lead for the Halifax case study on racialization of Asian international students Founding Fellow at the MacEachen Institute of Public Policy and Governance (2019-2021) Chair and Program Chair of the Global Development Section of the International Studies Association (2019-2020) Parasram actively mentors graduate students interested in colonial, postcolonial, anti-colonial, and decolonial studies. His teaching includes courses on the colonial foundations of development studies, M.K. Gandhi, postcolonial politics, and activism. He has received research funding through competitive grants like the SSHRC Insight Grant, which supports his work on racialization experiences of Asian international students in Canadian universities. As a scholar-activist, Parasram engages with public discourse through media commentary, podcasts, and public speaking on issues of racial justice, colonial legacies, and decolonial possibilities. His work bridges academic scholarship with public engagement, challenging dominant narratives while offering alternative frameworks for understanding sovereignty, citizenship, and justice.

Brett St Louis is a Professor in the Department of Sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London, specializing in critical race theory, ethnicity studies, and postcolonial thought. His scholarly work spans over two decades, with publications from 1999 to 2023 demonstrating consistent engagement with questions of race, identity, and power structures. Dr. St Louis's research interests focus on Critical Race Theory, Ethnicity Studies, Postcolonial Theory, and Whiteness Studies. His work critically examines racial formation, the persistence of racial thinking in contemporary society, and the complex relationship between race, identity, and power. Early in his career, he published extensively on the sociology of sport and racial science in athletics, later evolving toward broader theoretical examinations of race as technology, racial injustice, and the possibilities (or impossibilities) of racial justice. His scholarship frequently engages with the work of Stuart Hall and CLR James, positioning him firmly within the British Cultural Studies tradition while pushing its boundaries through contemporary racial analysis. Analysis of St Louis's recent publications reveals a trajectory from examining race in specific contexts like sport toward more fundamental theoretical questions about race as a social and technological construct. His 2021-2023 work particularly focuses on molecular racialization, carceral methodologies, and the philosophical tensions inherent in pursuing racial justice. The recurring theme across his career is a sophisticated critique of how race operates in contemporary society despite claims of post-racialism. His scholarly influence extends through his editorial work, including editing special issues of Ethnicities journal and co-editing the 2008 New Formations issue on 'After '68: The Left and Twenty-First Century Politics.' He has also contributed significantly to the intellectual reception of Stuart Hall's work, as evidenced by his 2021 co-authored piece 'Stuart Hall, a peerless mediator.' St Louis has established himself as a significant voice in critical race scholarship, with particular expertise in the theoretical and philosophical dimensions of race. His work bridges cultural studies, sociology, and political theory, offering nuanced analyses that challenge both biological determinism and simplistic social constructivist approaches to race.
