She also holds a position as Lecturer in Arts and Cultural Management at the same institution. Coles serves as Deputy Editor of the Journal of Industrial Relations and is a co-researcher with the Interuniversity Research Centre on Globalization and Work (CRIMT) in Montreal, Canada. Dr. Coles' research examines the political economy of labour markets and workforce development in the cultural economy with a focus on public policy, collective representation and intersectional inequality. Her work particularly investigates gender inequality in creative industries including film, television, and opera production. She has conducted significant research on the Australian cinematography workforce, revealing issues of precarious employment, hiring discrimination, and toxic workplace culture. Her analysis of The Royal Opera demonstrated that over 15 seasons, 90% of all opera productions credited a male director, with women significantly underrepresented in leadership roles. Her scholarly output shows a clear trend toward examining gender equity through empirical analysis of creative industries workforce data. Recent publications focus on comparative international assessments of gender policies in film sectors, career pathways in screen industries, and the impact of non-standard work arrangements on diversity in performing arts. Her research methodology typically involves large-scale data analysis of production credits, workforce surveys, and policy document examination. As Deputy Editor of the Journal of Industrial Relations, Coles plays a significant role in shaping scholarly discourse in employment relations. Her research collaborations extend internationally through her work with CRIMT and comparative studies of Canadian and Australian creative industries. Dr. Coles' research has practical implications for policy development in cultural industries, with findings presented to industry bodies and policymakers.

Estela Schindel is an Associate Professor and Scientific Managing Director of the Viadrina Institute for European Studies at the Faculty of Cultural Studies, European University Viadrina. Her academic career spans institutions including the University of Konstanz, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, and Freie Universität Berlin, where she has coordinated doctoral programs and conducted research on European integration, migration, and memory politics. She holds a PhD in Sociology from Freie Universität Berlin (2004, Summa cum Laude) and completed her Habilitation at European University Viadrina in 2022 with Venia Legendi in Sociology. Dr. Schindel's research focuses on urban memory, theories of violence, border and (im)mobility regimes, biopolitics, and the Anthropocene crisis. Her current work explores decolonial critique and positions 'Nature' and Water as central objects of sociological inquiry. She has developed innovative approaches to understanding European border regimes through the lens of slow violence, biometric surveillance, and the spatial production of exclusion. Her teaching includes courses on Current Challenges for Sociological Theory, Sociology of Water, and Rights of Nature from the Global South to Europe. Her scholarly output reveals an evolution from comparative memory studies between Latin America and Europe toward critical border studies and more recently to the Anthropocene and hydro-social relations. This trajectory demonstrates her capacity to address pressing contemporary issues through interdisciplinary frameworks that bridge sociology, political theory, and environmental studies. Her work consistently challenges Eurocentric assumptions in social theory while exploring situated knowledge from the Global South. Research Fellow, 'The Anthropocene as Multiple Crises' programme, Maria Sibylla Merian Center for Advanced Latin American Studies (2022/23) As Scientific Managing Director of the Viadrina Institute for European Studies since 2018 (and Scientific Coordinator since 2017), Schindel has led research initiatives examining Europe's role in global entanglements. Previously, she coordinated the doctoral program 'Europe in the Globalized World' at the University of Konstanz's Cluster of Excellence 'Cultural Foundations of Integration' (2013-2017). Her field research on EU border regimes, particularly in Lesbos, Greece, has informed both academic scholarship and public discourse on migration and humanitarian crises. Dr. Schindel's research team at the Viadrina Institute focuses on the intersections of border studies, memory politics, and the Anthropocene, with particular attention to water as a sociological object. Her current projects examine Rights of Nature initiatives in Europe, the Oder River as a potential legal person, and decolonial approaches to understanding human-nature relations.
