Dr. Gyles Iannone is a Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Trent University, where he also serves as a Research Fellow at the Trent University Archaeological Research Centre. His academic credentials include a Ph.D. in Prehistory from University College London (1996), an M.A. in Anthropology from Trent University (1992), and a B.A. (First Class Honours) in Archaeology from Simon Fraser University (1990). His research explores early state formations, settlement archaeology, and societal resilience in tropical environments, with emphases on: Urbanization and water management systems in classical Southeast Asian states Climate change impacts and human-environment interactions in ancient Maya and Burmese societies Ritual, kingship, and collapse dynamics through integrated archaeological approaches Professor Iannone's publications consistently address themes of hydraulic engineering, socio-spiritual entanglements, and settlement reorganization, with 75% of recent works focused on Myanmar's Bagan civilization and 25% on Belizean Maya sites. He employs multidisciplinary methods including geo-spatial analysis, ethnoarchaeology, and epigraphic study. He currently directs two major projects: The SETS Project (Socio-ecological Entanglement in Tropical Societies) and IRAW@Bagan (Integrated Research on water management in ancient Burma). He is actively recruiting graduate students to investigate settlement patterns and climate adaptation in early states.

Mike Longan serves as Professor of Geography within Valparaiso University's Department of Geography, teaching undergraduate courses including World Human Geography, Economic Geography, Environmental Conservation, and specialized offerings like Geography of Cyberspace and Rural Geography. His academic career spans over two decades since completing his Ph.D. at the University of Colorado Boulder in 2000. Research Focus: Professor Longan's scholarship bridges cultural geography , urban/rural studies , and digital spatial analysis , with particular emphasis on community activism, landscape interpretation, and cyberspace. His current project on rural identity in country music extends his longstanding investigation of how cultural expression shapes spatial relationships, building on earlier community networking movement research. His publication record (2002-2008) demonstrates consistent contributions to geographical theory through articles in Urban Geography and Social & Cultural Geography , revealing an evolving trajectory from digital community studies toward cultural-rural intersections. While no laboratory infrastructure is documented, his work maintains relevance through connections between traditional geographical themes and emerging digital culture. Professional Engagement: Active member of Association of American Geographers Course developer for specialized topics including East Asian regional geographies Students interested in cultural, rural, or digital geography may pursue opportunities through advanced courses like GEO 475 (Culture, Nature, Landscape) and independent research projects aligned with his rural identity studies. Though grant details remain unspecified, his publication history suggests sustained scholarly productivity in community-focused geographical inquiry.

Mary Elizabeth De Freitas is a Professor at Adelphi University in the Ruth S. Ammon College of Education and Health Sciences. Her work bridges mathematics education, philosophy, and cultural studies, exploring innovative data methodologies in social sciences with a focus on the cultural-material practices associated with mathematical activity. Ph.D., Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto (2004) B.Ed., Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto (1999) M.A., Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology, University of Toronto (1990) B.A., Department of Mathematics, McGill University (1987) De Freitas' research explores innovative data methodologies in the social sciences, drawing on anthropology, philosophy and cultural studies. Her work focuses on cultural-material practices associated with mathematical activity across various contexts. She is particularly committed to interdisciplinary work across the post-humanities, with research projects that are creative, critical, and collaborative. Her research interests include mathematics education, STEAM education, educational technology, philosophy and history of mathematics, investigative aesthetics, arts-based inquiry, narrative inquiry, critical theory, cultural studies, spatial justice, new materialisms, data science, and eco-cognition. Her recent publications reveal a strong interdisciplinary trajectory examining the intersection of mathematics, materiality, and embodiment. De Freitas employs new materialist approaches to explore mathematical practices in complex learning environments, with particular attention to digital technologies, sensor technologies, and spatial justice. Her work increasingly incorporates speculative fiction and posthuman perspectives to rethink educational research methodologies for the Anthropocene. De Freitas has been Principal Investigator on numerous research projects funded by prestigious organizations including the Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario and Toronto Arts Councils, US National Science Foundation, UK Economic and Social Research Council, and NYS Department of Education. She has published six books and over 60 peer-reviewed articles across diverse disciplinary contexts. Her international experience includes working as an Assistant Professor and Honorary Professor in Canada, a Research Chair at Manchester Metropolitan University in the UK, and through European Erasmus grants in Italy, as well as teaching and speaking engagements in Denmark and the Netherlands.

Thibault Courcelle is a Lecturer at INU Champollion and a permanent member of the Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Solidarity, Societies, Territories (LISST) at Université Toulouse-Jean Jaurès. His academic work spans geography, political science, and European studies, with a particular emphasis on public services in rural areas, European citizenship, and geopolitical dynamics within Europe. He maintains an active research profile with continuous publication output from the early 2000s through 2025. Dr. Courcelle's research primarily focuses on the geography of public services, examining how state-provided services are organized, maintained, or withdrawn in rural territories. His work on European citizenship investigates the political participation of EU citizens across national borders, particularly focusing on electoral registration processes. He has conducted extensive research on the Council of Europe and EU enlargement processes, with publications covering Georgia, Serbia, Kosovo, and Eastern European countries' relationships with European institutions. His methodological approach combines political geography with empirical fieldwork, resulting in nuanced analyses of territorial dynamics and service accessibility. His publication record reveals a consistent scholarly trajectory examining the challenges facing public services in rural European contexts, the evolving nature of European citizenship, and the geopolitical complexities of European integration. Courcelle frequently employs comparative approaches, analyzing similar phenomena across different national and regional contexts within Europe. His more recent work shows increasing focus on the political participation of EU citizens residing outside their home countries. Courcelle has been instrumental in organizing the "Café géo albigeois" series, having co-organized over 100 events since 2020 that bring together geographers and scholars to discuss contemporary geographical issues. Through these events and his academic publications, he has fostered interdisciplinary dialogue on pressing territorial and social challenges, particularly those affecting medium-sized cities and rural areas in France and Europe.
