Professor Jennifer Denbow serves in the Department of Political Science within California Polytechnic State University's College of Liberal Arts, where she holds the position of Associate Chair. Her interdisciplinary scholarship bridges feminist political theory, law, and science and technology studies with a specialized focus on US reproductive politics. Her educational background includes a Ph.D. in Jurisprudence and Social Policy with a Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender and Sexuality from UC Berkeley (2010), a J.D. from UC Berkeley (2007), and a B.S. in Philosophy with minors in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Michigan (2003). Denbow's research critically examines the intersections of reproductive justice, political economy, and technological innovation. Her work challenges neoliberal frameworks that position technological solutions as adequate responses to systemic reproductive injustices, particularly highlighting how financialization and market logics infiltrate reproductive healthcare and genetic technologies. She analyzes how ultrasound, prenatal screening, and biometric monitoring function as affective technologies that reshape maternal subjectivity and reproductive autonomy. Her publications reveal consistent engagement with feminist critiques of reproductive governance, examining how social conservatism, disability rights, and racial politics converge in legislative battles over prenatal nondiscrimination laws and contraceptive access. The scholarship demonstrates particular attention to how ostensibly neutral technological innovations often reinforce existing power hierarchies while obscuring structural inequalities. ACLS Project Development Grant for her forthcoming book As an educator, Denbow teaches courses including Civil Rights in America, Basic Concepts of Political Thought, Judicial Process, US Reproductive Politics, and Feminist Legal Theory. Her research has been supported by institutional affiliations including a Visiting Scholar position at the Feminist Research Institute at UC Davis during the 2020-2021 academic year. She actively contributes to interdisciplinary conversations across political theory, legal studies, and feminist science and technology studies.

Her scholarly output demonstrates a consistent trajectory exploring the intersection of emerging biomedical technologies and human experience, particularly in neuroprosthetics and pain management. Middleton's work examines how technologies reshape bodily experiences and social relations, with special attention to datafication processes in healthcare. Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellowship (2022) As a researcher on Prof. Klaus Høyer's ERC Advanced Grant-funded project 'Data Space,' Middleton contributes to cross-border health data research while mentoring graduate students. Her peer review activities for BioSocieties Journal (2021-2023) demonstrate her engagement with the academic community. Her supervision framework for M.Sc. theses, which uses scientific article writing as a pedagogical tool, reflects her commitment to innovative research education. Currently conducting ethnographic fieldwork as part of her research examining frontier assisted reproductive technologies, Middleton works at the intersection of clinical practice, patient experience, and technological innovation.

Pip Thornton is a Chancellor's Fellow at the University of Edinburgh's School of Geosciences, holding a prestigious early-career academic position equivalent to Assistant Professor. Thornton's work bridges geography, linguistics, and digital studies with a specific focus on the political economy of language in digital spaces. Their research examines how technology companies transform human language into extractable economic data through what Thornton terms 'linguistic capitalism.' Thornton's research interests center on the exploitation and monetization of language by digital technology companies, with particular emphasis on how the transformation of language into data negates its creative and poetic value. Key areas include critical AI studies, online disinformation, digital geopolitics, and creative interventions as research methodology. Thornton investigates how platforms like Google, Meta, and AI companies extract economic value from human language, resulting in what they describe as 'linguistic detritus' that fills search results and AI outputs. Thornton's recent publications (2023-2024) show a strong focus on creative responses to AI and linguistic capitalism, with multiple exhibitions, performances, and critical interventions. Their work demonstrates consistent engagement with both theoretical critique and tangible artistic responses to digital technology's impact on language and communication. Virginie Mamadouh Outstanding Research Award, AAG (2021) 'Best Paper' at ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (2022) Thornton maintains active research funding through multiple projects including 'Page Against The Machine: a comedy-drama about AI' (University of London), 'Writing the Wrongs of AI' (Arts & Humanities Research Council), and several projects examining creative interventions in digital technology. Their research approach combines academic scholarship with public-facing artistic work, regularly participating in major cultural festivals including the Edinburgh International Book Festival and Wigtown Book Festival. Thornton is currently accepting PhD students interested in linguistic capitalism, digital humanities, and critical AI studies. Thornton leads the Articulating Data Research Group, which explores vocalisation, machine listening, and the (in)security of language through creative and critical approaches. This work combines technical understanding of AI systems with artistic interventions to examine how language is processed, commodified, and transformed in digital environments.
