Aaron Sell is an Assistant Professor of Psychology & Criminology at Heidelberg University in the United States. His academic work focuses on evolutionary explanations of human behavior, particularly in the domains of aggression, anger, and formidability. He is affiliated with the zIReN Network, where he contributes to research on evolutionary psychology and its applications to understanding human social behavior. Sell earned his BA from Ohio University and his PhD from the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research expertise lies in evolutionary psychology, with a particular focus on the functional design of emotions like anger and hatred. He has published extensively on topics related to aggression, formidability estimation, and the evolutionary underpinnings of social emotions. Sell's research interests center on understanding human emotions through an evolutionary lens. He has developed and tested the recalibrational theory of anger, which posits that anger evolved as a bargaining emotion to negotiate for better treatment. His work on hatred proposes the neutralization theory, distinguishing hatred as a distinct emotion from anger. He also investigates how human perceptions of formidability influence social interactions, conflict resolution, and justice systems. His research demonstrates how modern societal institutions, particularly criminal justice systems, reflect evolved human nature and ancestral logic of conflict. Sell's publications reveal a consistent focus on how emotions function as adaptations to solve specific social problems faced by our ancestors. His work bridges evolutionary theory with practical applications in criminology and social psychology, showing how evolved mechanisms continue to shape human behavior in modern contexts. His research on the visual and vocal assessment of physical strength has demonstrated correlations between upper body strength and perceptions of dominance, militancy, and bargaining power in social conflicts. BA, Ohio University PhD, University of California, Santa Barbara Sell teaches a variety of courses including Introduction to Criminology and Criminal Justice, Introduction to Psychology, Methods and Statistics in the Behavioral Sciences, Psychology and the Law, Policing and Law Enforcement, Social Psychology, Senior Seminar, and Intermediate Data Science. His teaching reflects his interdisciplinary expertise spanning psychology and criminology.

Isabel Boni-Le Goff is a Professor at Université Paris 8 in the Textes et Sociétés research center. Her academic work focuses on the intersections of gender with class, race, and age within the context of late capitalism and globalization. She has established herself as a significant researcher in the sociology of professions, particularly examining management consulting and the legal profession through gendered lenses. Dr. Boni-Le Goff's research interests center on how economic elites and qualified occupations navigate social stratification in globalized contexts. Her work critically examines how gender regimes operate within professional spaces, with particular attention to embodiment, aesthetic labor, and the reproduction of social hierarchies. She investigates how bodies, appearances, and emotional performances become integral to professional legitimacy, especially in fields like management consulting where she has conducted extensive ethnographic research. Her publication record reveals consistent focus on gender dynamics across professional contexts. The articles demonstrate a clear trajectory examining how gender intersects with other power relations to shape professional experiences. Her work spans theoretical explorations of legitimate bodies and gendered professionalism to empirical studies of female lawyers' experiences with discrimination and management consultants' navigation of gendered expectations. A recurring theme is how seemingly 'gender-neutral' professional norms often mask masculine defaults that create barriers for women. Best Dissertation Award, Institut du Genre, 2014 for 'The Sex of Expertise. Gender Regimes and the Dynamics of Inequality in Management Consulting' While specific advising information isn't detailed in the available materials, her collaborative work with researchers like Nicky Le Feuvre, Grégoire Mallard, and Eléonore Lépinard across multiple publications suggests active participation in research teams and likely mentorship of junior scholars. Her research frequently employs comparative methodologies between France and Switzerland, particularly regarding legal professions. Dr. Boni-Le Goff's work consistently examines the tension between professional norms and personal identities, particularly how gendered expectations shape career trajectories, workplace experiences, and the very definition of professional expertise. Her research contributes significantly to understanding how gender operates not just as individual identity but as structural feature of professional organizations and markets.
