Natale Seron Arizmendi serves as Professor in the Department of Public Law at the University of Deusto's Faculty of Law, Spain. Her research bridges human rights law, international legal theory, and environmental justice with significant focus on climate litigation mechanisms and individual agency within international systems. Her primary research domains include Human Rights Law, International Law, and Environmental Law, with specialized investigations into climate justice through the European Court of Human Rights (notably the Duarte Agostinho case), democratic backsliding in the EU, reproductive rights ethics, and migration law challenges. She examines how legal frameworks can drive structural societal change while addressing gaps between theoretical doctrine and practical implementation. Analysis of her 2021-2025 publications reveals three dominant trajectories: 1) Climate litigation as a catalyst for environmental justice through international courts, 2) Democratic resilience against backsliding in European institutions, and 3) Ethical-legal intersections in reproductive rights and gender identity. Her work consistently emphasizes the evolving legal capacity of individuals to shape international human rights norms. Scientific recognition includes: Research Merit for reviewing article on Theoretical and practical issues of sexual crimes against children (2025) Dr. Seron Arizmendi actively engages in academic knowledge transfer through guest lectures at institutions including University of Cincinnati and Xavier University on human rights impact litigation and democratic theory.

Dr. Andrew Grainger serves as a Lecturer in Sport Development, Leisure, and Recreation within the School of Health Sciences at Western Sydney University, with dual affiliation through the Translational Health Research Institute (THRI). His academic work critically examines the sociocultural and sociohistorical dimensions of sport, physical culture, and physical activity, focusing on power dynamics in global sport governance and representation. His educational background includes a PhD from the University of Maryland (USA) and a Master of Physical Education from the University of Otago (Aotearoa New Zealand), providing transnational expertise that informs his comparative analyses. Professional affiliations span the Australian Society for Sports History (ASSH), North American Society for Sociology of Sport (NASSS), and The Australian Sociological Association (TASA). Dr. Grainger's research program centers on five interconnected domains: the political economy of sport, gender equality in sport contexts, cultural geopolitics of mega-events, sport migration and diasporic citizenship, and globalization's relationship to national identity. His current projects critically dissect the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup through lenses of indigenous sovereignty, legacy myths, and gender politics, challenging superficial narratives of progress while documenting structural inequities. Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2023-2025) reveals concentrated scholarly engagement with the FIFA Women's World Cup across multiple critical dimensions. His work consistently employs postcolonial and feminist frameworks to interrogate power structures, with particular attention to indigenous representation, commercialization of gender equality, and the gap between policy rhetoric and substantive change in global sport governance. As an active scholar in critical sport studies, Dr. Grainger contributes to ongoing debates about decolonizing sport institutions, authentic indigenous partnerships, and meaningful gender equity beyond performative recognition. His transnational perspective bridges Pacific and global contexts, offering nuanced analyses of how sport mega-events intersect with national identity, cultural politics, and social justice imperatives.

Joe Watson serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Warwick's Faculty of Arts, where he teaches Latin language and literature courses while focusing on queer interpretations of classical texts. His academic profile demonstrates a strong commitment to inclusive pedagogy and cutting-edge research at the intersection of Classics and Gender Studies. Watson completed his academic training with a BA in Classics from the University of Reading (2017), an MA from Durham University (2018), and a PhD from Durham University (2022) with a thesis on 'Narrative Nefas and the Taboos of Incest and Bestiality in Ovid's Metamorphoses'. His research focuses primarily on Latin literature of the Augustan period, especially Ovid, with significant contributions to queer theory in Classics.

Cavafy. His pedagogical work emphasizes tailored approaches for queer and neurodiverse students, reflecting his commitment to inclusive education. Watson's publication record shows a consistent trajectory toward increasingly sophisticated queer interpretations of classical texts, with recent work examining trans narratives in Ovid, queer utopias in Renée Vivien's poetry, and the intersection of classical sculpture with queer identity in Cavafy's work. His scholarship demonstrates how ancient texts can be productively reinterpreted through contemporary gender and sexuality frameworks. Administratively, Watson serves as the Work in Progress Seminar Series Organiser, IT Officer, Departmental EDI Representative, and Student Experience Representative at Warwick, demonstrating significant departmental involvement beyond his teaching and research responsibilities.

Yael Armangau is a Lecturer in the Sociology Department at the University of Toulouse-Jean Jaurès and a PhD student supervised by Michel GROSSETTI and Julien FIGEAC at the Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Solidarity, Societies, Territories (LISST). Their academic work focuses on the intersection of trans studies, digital media, and social support networks. Armangau's research interests center on Trans Studies, Sociology of Networks, Gender Studies, Social Support systems, Sociology of ICT, Transfeminism, and Sociology of Health. Their work examines how trans communities organize support networks both online and offline, with particular attention to Facebook groups as spaces for information sharing, emotional support, and resistance against medical institutional barriers. They investigate how trans people navigate the 'therapeutic shield' in France, create safe digital spaces, and develop trans-specific ethics of care. Analysis of Armangau's publications reveals a consistent focus on trans communities' self-organization through digital platforms. Their research demonstrates how trans individuals bypass institutional barriers by creating peer support networks, sharing medical knowledge, and developing collective strategies for navigating gender transition. A key theme across their work is the concept of 'trans ethics of care' that emerges within online communities as an alternative to traditional medical pathways. Armangau teaches across multiple levels of sociology education, including Introduction to Field Research in Sociology (Bachelor's), Reflections on the Inclusiveness of Feminist Issues (Master's), Introduction to Trans Studies (Master's), and Trans Health (Master's). Their teaching reflects their research interests, particularly in trans studies, gender, and research methodology. As a PhD candidate, Armangau's thesis titled "Gender bifurcations: challenges and support networks for trans people" combines traditional sociological methods with digital humanities approaches to analyze trans journeys and their challenges through support networks. Their research employs mixed methods including interviews, questionnaires, data extraction, and network analysis to understand how trans people access social solidarity.
