Sarah Moser is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at McGill University's Faculty of Arts, where she conducts research at the intersection of urban and cultural geography. Her office is located in Burnside Hall 413, and she can be reached at (514) 266-9908 or sarah.moser@mcgill.ca. Dr. Moser leads the New Cities Lab, which examines new cities, nation-building, migration, discourses of sustainability, and urban policy mobility from a human geography perspective. Dr. Moser's academic background includes: PhD in Geography from the National University of Singapore Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Urban and Global Studies, Trinity College Postdoctoral Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Her research primarily examines how national, religious, and ethnic identities shape cities in Southeast Asia and the Muslim world. Dr. Moser is particularly fascinated by the transnational circulation of identity, architecture and urban policy, and how cities across Asia are increasingly looking to other parts of the global south rather than to 'the west' for inspiration. Her current work investigates the global emergence of supra-national religious and ethnic identities and how they are manifested in urban form to serve secular nation-building purposes. She specifically examines emerging pan-Islamic identity, the 'Arabization' of Muslim identity, and emerging 'pan-Chinese' identities currently circulating in Asia. Analysis of Dr. Moser's recent publications reveals a strong focus on new master-planned cities across the Global South, with particular attention to projects in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and Latin America. Her work demonstrates interdisciplinary engagement across urban studies, political geography, cultural geography, and postcolonial studies, with recurring themes of identity construction, transnational influences, and the political dimensions of urban planning. The geographic scope of her research has expanded significantly over time, moving from initial Southeast Asian case studies to a truly global comparative perspective. Dr. Moser's research has been supported through various grants that have enabled fieldwork in multiple countries where new city projects are underway. She has developed collaborative networks with researchers across the globe, particularly in regions where she conducts fieldwork. While specific grant details aren't provided in the available text, her extensive field-based research suggests substantial grant support for international travel and research assistance. Dr. Moser directs the New Cities Lab at McGill University, which conducts field-based research examining new city projects in Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, Kuwait, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Palestine, and Ecuador. The lab combines discourse analysis with on-the-ground investigation, interviewing government officials, planners, and those affected by these urban mega-developments. The lab maintains an active presence on social media, particularly Instagram (@new.cities.lab), to share research findings and engage with broader audiences.

Ajay Parasram is an Associate Professor cross-appointed to the Department of International Development Studies, Department of History, and Department of Political Science at Dalhousie University in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. His work critically examines the colonial present through the lens of structural violence related to race, caste, class, and patriarchy. Dr. Parasram's educational background includes a BA (Honours) from Dalhousie University, an MA from Carleton University, and a PhD from Carleton University. His transnational, multigenerational experience as a byproduct of empire deeply informs his research and teaching approach. Parasram's research focuses on three primary interconnected areas: pluriversal sovereignty with particular attention to 19th century Sri Lanka's entanglements in the British empire; settler-colonial studies and decolonial options grounded in his experience as an immigrant to Mi'kma'ki; and a SSHRC-funded project examining the racialization of Asian international students to Canadian universities. His scholarship challenges conventional narratives of development, sovereignty, and citizenship, arguing that many contemporary structural forms of violence have roots in imperial encounters that have been sanitized of their colonial histories. His extensive publication record demonstrates consistent engagement with themes of coloniality, sovereignty, and racialization. Recent work shows an increasing focus on pluriversal approaches to sovereignty, settler-colonial critique, and the application of decolonial theory to contemporary political challenges. His scholarship bridges historical analysis with urgent contemporary concerns about racial justice, Indigenous sovereignty, and alternative political imaginaries. Among his notable recognitions are: SSHRC Insight Grant as Co-Investigator and project lead for the Halifax case study on racialization of Asian international students Founding Fellow at the MacEachen Institute of Public Policy and Governance (2019-2021) Chair and Program Chair of the Global Development Section of the International Studies Association (2019-2020) Parasram actively mentors graduate students interested in colonial, postcolonial, anti-colonial, and decolonial studies. His teaching includes courses on the colonial foundations of development studies, M.K. Gandhi, postcolonial politics, and activism. He has received research funding through competitive grants like the SSHRC Insight Grant, which supports his work on racialization experiences of Asian international students in Canadian universities. As a scholar-activist, Parasram engages with public discourse through media commentary, podcasts, and public speaking on issues of racial justice, colonial legacies, and decolonial possibilities. His work bridges academic scholarship with public engagement, challenging dominant narratives while offering alternative frameworks for understanding sovereignty, citizenship, and justice.
