Professor Andrew Baldwin is a leading scholar in the Department of Geography at Durham University, where he has been a faculty member since 2009. Previously, he held academic appointments at the University of Manchester and Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. His work bridges critical human geography, race studies, and environmental politics, with particular focus on how climate change intersects with migration, race, and colonial histories. Baldwin has held significant leadership roles including Chair of COST Action IS1101 Climate Change and Migration (2011-2015) and Co-Director of Durham's Institute for Hazard, Risk and Resilience (2013-2016). Baldwin's research examines the intersections of race, nature, and geography through three broad phenomena: climate change and human migration; mobility and the Anthropocene; and settler colonialism. His work is informed by theoretical perspectives including postcolonialism, poststructuralism, feminism, anti-racism, and Black studies. He is particularly interested in how political authority adapts to geohistorical phenomena like climate change. His influential book, The Other of Climate Change: Racial Futurism, Migration, Humanism (2022), theorizes how race and racism shape epistemological discussions about climate change and migration in international relations. His recent scholarship reveals a strong emphasis on challenging dominant narratives around climate migration, developing anti-racist approaches to environmental studies, and examining the racial dimensions of climate change discourse. Baldwin's work consistently pushes against simplistic understandings of climate migration, instead highlighting how race, colonialism, and power shape both the phenomena and our conceptual frameworks for understanding them. His recent articles engage deeply with critical race theory, decolonial approaches, and philosophical questions about time, futurity, and humanism in the context of climate change. Institute for Advanced Studies Fellowship (2014) SSHRC Council Postdoctoral Fellowship (2006-2008) SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship Scholarship (2004-2005) Baldwin currently serves as Co-investigator on the major ESRC-funded project 'Inclusive Urban Infrastructure' with colleagues from Sussex, Durham, and international partners in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, and Somaliland. This work builds on several previous collaborative projects including 'Migrants on the Margins,' 'Supporting the Mobility of Trapped Populations,' and 'The Unknown City.' His supervision includes PhD student Afsana Esha, reflecting his commitment to mentoring the next generation of critical geographers. Baldwin's research connects with Durham's Geographies of Life and Politics-State-Space research centers, contributing to interdisciplinary conversations about climate, race, and spatial politics.

Zohrabyan, focusing on “The Russian Federation and regional armed conflicts in Transcaucasia (1991-1994)” Specialized training at Arizona State University’s Faculty of Public Administration (2005) Aglyan’s research traverses public policy analysis, US foreign policy frameworks, and hierarchical international systems theory, with concentrated expertise in Armenian-Russo-American triangular relations. His work critically examines policy convergence mechanisms within asymmetric power structures, post-socialist governance models, and the evolving welfare state paradigms in comparative perspective. This intellectual trajectory reflects deep engagement with both theoretical frameworks and empirical regional dynamics. Analysis of his 15 publications (2015-2025) reveals persistent thematic threads: structural power dynamics in Russia-Armenia relations, US strategic recalibrations in Eurasia, and public administration challenges in post-conflict societies. His scholarship demonstrates methodological versatility across English, Russian, and Armenian academic discourses, with increasing attention to contemporary governance dilemmas like universal basic income implementation and networked policy design. Professional activities include participation in international conferences such as the 2022 YSU symposium “Armenia, the United States, and Regional Transformations in Eurasia,” though no doctoral advisees or major research grants are documented.
