Kai Syng Tan (she/they) is an Associate Professor in Arts and Cultural Leadership at the University of Southampton's Winchester School of Art, joining in July 2023. An award-winning artist-academic-agitator, they have taught in over 200 universities worldwide and are known for pioneering innovative approaches at the intersection of art, leadership, neurodiversity, and social justice. Their work spans creative practice, research, and activism, with a focus on decolonial, anti-oppressive frameworks that reimagine leadership through neuro-queering and creative futurity. PhD in Fine Art (Slade School of Fine Art, University College London) MA in Art and Design (Royal College of Art) BFA (Tokyo University of the Arts) Tan's research interests explore the intersections of art, leadership, neurodiversity, and social justice through multiple interconnected strands. Their work in Running Studies has pioneered running as an artistic discourse, challenging ableist frameworks in mobility studies. In art-science collaborations, particularly through the #MagicCarpet project, they've reframed neurodivergence as creative discourse. Their disability arts work, including directing the £4.8m Paralympics ceremonies in Southeast Asia, has been praised as 'game-changing.' Most recently, they're developing 'neuro-futurism' as a framework for reimagining leadership through neuro-queering, anti-oppression, and creative futurity. Tan's recent publications reveal a clear trajectory toward reimagining leadership through neurodivergent, decolonial, and creative lenses. Their 2024-2025 works focus on 'neuro-futurism' as a toolkit for diversified, beyond-colonial leadership approaches. The publications demonstrate increasing integration of neurodiversity studies with leadership theory, creative practice, and social justice frameworks. Common themes include tentacular pedagogy, love-led leadership, and decolonized approaches to knowledge production, reflecting Tan's commitment to creating more equitable and imaginative futures through artful agitation.

Current research includes 'Towards a Creative Practice Observatory' and developing frameworks for love-led leadership that challenges traditional hierarchical models through neuroqueering and anti-oppressive approaches. Tan founded and co-chairs the Neurodiversity In/& Creative Research Network (over 400 members) and the Running Cultures Research Network. Their #MagicCarpet project at King's College London established groundbreaking art-science collaborations in neurodiversity. As Visual and Communications Director for the Paralympics of Southeast Asia, they created innovative inclusive approaches that have had lasting impact.

Jeong Eun Annabel We serves as Assistant Professor of Korean Literature and Culture and Director of Undergraduate Studies in Northwestern University's Department of Asian Languages and Cultures. She maintains cross-disciplinary affiliations with the Program in Comparative Literary Studies, Critical Theory Program, Asian American Studies Program, and Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences. We earned her B.A. from Northwestern University followed by a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Rutgers University, where she concurrently completed a certificate in Women’s and Gender Studies. Her research interrogates modern Korean cultural production through decolonial frameworks, emphasizing transpacific connections between Korean diaspora communities, indigenous Pacific populations, and Caribbean thought. Key investigations include disability as immobility under militarism, spiritual dimensions of environmental crisis, and settler grief in narratives like Minari. This work manifests in courses on disaster narratives, body horror, and feminist/queer approaches to colonialism. Publication patterns reveal evolving focus from foundational decolonial theory (2018-2019 Bandung special issue) toward contemporary applications in film analysis and environmental humanities (2024 Minari study), with consistent engagement in transpacific relational sovereignty and speculative fiction's political potential. We co-founded Northwestern's Critical Theory Research Workshop in 2012 and currently serves as faculty sponsor, mentoring undergraduate researchers through the ALC capstone seminar. Her community engagement follows strict protocols requiring two-week notice and accuracy verification, exemplified by 2018 Jeju Peace Tour participation documented in Korea Policy Institute.
