Her academic journey includes a state qualification in architecture and a doctoral thesis on film devices in urban landscape understanding, which earned the COMUE Grenoble Alpes Thesis Prize in 2014. Dr. Brayer's research focuses on contemporary urban situations, exploring their experiences, representations, and transformations through the lens of sensory perception and atmospheric qualities. She specializes in how film and audio-visual methodologies can document and analyze urban spaces, particularly investigating the 'insignificant part' of urban experience that traditional methods might overlook. Her work examines the articulation between mediation, critique, and design projects, with significant contributions to understanding how sensory phenomena translate into architectural and urban research. Her recent work shows a strong trend toward collaborative research-creation projects that bridge academic inquiry with artistic practice. She directs 'Les Ondes de l'Eau,' a project mapping sensitive memories of the Romanche Valley in collaboration with artist collective Regards des lieux. Her publications reveal deep engagement with atmospheric research, sensory ethnography, and innovative documentation methods that capture the temporal and sensory dimensions of urban spaces. She has developed expertise in using film as a collective exercise for describing atmosphere as a 'matter of concern,' organizing video workshops that generate new understandings of urban environments. Dr. Brayer has received notable recognition including the COMUE Grenoble Alpes Thesis Prize (2014).

Kristian Brevik serves as Lecturer in the Environmental Studies Program at the University of Vermont's Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, where he bridges scientific rigor with artistic practice and environmental philosophy. His educational background includes: B.A. from Hampshire College (2010) Ph.D. in Agriculture, Landscape, and Environment from University of Vermont (2020) Brevik's research explores human-nonhuman entanglements through three interconnected channels: scientific investigation of human-insect relationships using genetics and computational biology; artistic creation of 'ghost lanterns' installations and the River Clyde Pageant; and philosophical inquiry via the 'Unfolding Connections' zine series. His work centers on building tangible kinship with other species, rejecting anthropocentric frameworks through practices that make ecological interdependence visceral and immediate. Central to his approach is the development of 'Art for Fish'—experimental multispecies artmaking that investigates intersubjectivity with aquatic life. As an educator, Brevik teaches Kincentric Ecology, Environmental Statistics, and Environmental Literature/Arts courses that integrate fieldwork, creative expression, and critical theory. His teaching extends beyond campus through community classes that transform ecological concepts into participatory experiences. While no active grants are documented, his work is sustained through academic appointment and Patreon-supported creative projects. Brevik leads the 'Unfolding Connections' initiative—a monthly mini-zine ecosystem including thematic bundles and Patreon community—that functions as both research output and public engagement platform. This project emerged from pandemic-era reflection on screen-mediated life, deliberately using tangible media to foster deeper connections with 'more-than-human kin' across topics ranging from umwelt theory to anti-colonial ecological practices.
