Dr. Simone Busley serves as a Lecturer for special tasks at the German Institute of Historical Linguistics within the Department of Philosophy and Philology at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (50% position since April 2021), while also working as a Research Associate at the Institute for Historical Regional Studies Rhineland-Palatinate eV (50% position since March 2020). Her academic profile centers on historical linguistics with specialized expertise in German dialectology and gender-related linguistic phenomena. Dr. Busley earned her doctorate from the University of Mainz in February 2020 with her dissertation "Women in the Neuter. Empirical Studies on Middle and Low German Dialects." Her educational background includes German, Philosophy, and Educational Sciences, culminating in the 1st State Examination for Teaching at Grammar Schools. Prior to her current positions, she contributed to multiple DFG-funded research projects including "Anna and Her Dog. Female Neuter Names" and the "Digital Surname Dictionary of Germany." Her research explores the complex relationship between grammatical gender, sociopragmatic factors, and cultural contexts in German dialects, particularly focusing on instances where feminine referents receive neuter grammatical gender assignment. This work bridges theoretical linguistics with empirical sociolinguistic analysis, examining how language reflects and shapes social attitudes toward gender. Her publications reveal consistent investigation into name usage patterns, historical shifts in personal reference systems, and the sociocultural dimensions of linguistic variation. Dr. Busley's scholarly output demonstrates a clear trajectory examining gender assignment in German dialects, with increasing attention to historical documentation and cross-regional comparisons. Her work combines meticulous textual analysis with sociolinguistic theory to explain seemingly anomalous grammatical patterns as reflections of deeper social structures and historical developments. 2023: Analysis of onymic personal reference evolution in early modern court records 2022: Examination of gender-sex discordances in German dialects as reflections of social roles 2021: Investigation of sociopragmatic gender assignment in German dialects 2021: Monograph on women in the neuter across Middle and Low German dialects 2020: Study of supra-regional neutral gender assignment patterns when referring to women As an educator, Dr. Busley has taught extensively at the University of Mainz since 2013, offering courses including "Introduction to Historical Linguistics," "Language Variation," "Linguistic Doubtful Cases," and "Empirical Work in Variational Linguistics."

Stephanie Balkwill is an Associate Professor in the Department of Asian Languages & Cultures at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her academic focus centers on the intersection of Buddhism, gender, and political power in early medieval China, specifically examining the period between the 4th and 6th centuries. Dr. Balkwill's research investigates whether Buddhist affiliation provided new social and educational opportunities for women during this historical period and argues that women were influential in the early spread of Buddhist traditions throughout East Asia. She is currently pursuing two major research projects: the first examines the political lives of Buddhist women in the Northern Wei dynasty (386-534 CE), identifying it as the earliest known case study of women, Buddhism, and political power in medieval East Asia; the second studies female-to-male sex transformation narratives in Mahāyāna Buddhist texts within the context of gendered Buddhist practice. Her work challenges traditional narratives about women's roles in religious history and highlights the complex interplay between gender, religion, and power in premodern East Asia. Dr. Balkwill's scholarly contributions span Buddhist studies, gender studies, and Chinese history, with numerous publications focusing on Buddhist women, textual analysis, and the intersection of religion and political power. Her research demonstrates how Buddhist women navigated religious institutions and political structures in early medieval China, revealing their significant contributions to both religious development and political affairs. She is actively engaged in public scholarship, contributing to broader conversations about Buddhism's relevance to contemporary issues through various media and platforms. As co-Director of the Buddhist Bodies Collective, Dr. Balkwill curates and publishes new Open Access, body-centered resources for teaching Buddhism at the introductory level and across the humanities. Her commitment to open access scholarship is evident in her numerous publications through this medium, making her research accessible to a wider audience beyond academic circles. She is also working on a book-length study of Northern Wei Empress Dowager Ling titled 'Numinous Under Heaven: The Rise and Fall of a Female, Buddhist Regent in 6th Century Luoyang,' scheduled for Open Access publication.
