Steven Jackson is a Professor of Information Science and Science and Technology Studies at Cornell University's Bowers College of Computing and Information Science, with additional graduate field appointments in Communication and Public Affairs. Since July 2023, he has served as Vice-Provost for Academic Innovation at Cornell, and previously held leadership positions as Chair of Information Science and Dean of William Keeton House. His work bridges academic research with significant institutional leadership in higher education innovation. Dr. Jackson's research focuses on critical intersections of technology, society, and the environment, with three primary strands: technology ethics, law and policy; maintenance, repair and sustainability; and technology, inequality and global development. His work draws from American pragmatism, political economy, and science and technology studies, integrating methods from sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and media studies. He is particularly interested in how computing practices meet social and material worlds, with implications for infrastructure, collaboration, sustainability, and cultural practice. His recent publications reveal a strong emphasis on repair as both theoretical concept and practical methodology, exploring 'ordinary hope' as a framework for technological engagement and examining unmaking as a necessary counterpart to design. The research spans diverse geographical contexts from the global North to South, addressing caste dynamics in computing, digital authoritarianism, and infrastructure challenges in developing contexts. Dr. Jackson has received significant recognition including an NSF CAREER award and more than twenty paper awards at leading computing and information science venues. His research has been supported by major organizations including the U.S. National Science Foundation, Social Science Research Council, Ford Foundation, Sloan Foundation, World Bank, Intel Research, Atkinson Center for Sustainability, and the Canadian Social Science and Humanities Research Council. As an advisor, Dr. Jackson has mentored numerous graduate students who have gone on to prominent positions at institutions worldwide. He currently advises Jen Liu, Amy Cheatle, Daniel Mwesigwa, Johan Michalove, and Ritik Batra, while his former students include Palashi Vaghela (Assistant Professor at Simon Fraser University), Samir Passi (Responsible AI Researcher at Microsoft), Maggie Jack (Assistant Professor at NYU), and Ranjit Singh (Senior Researcher at Data and Society). Dr. Jackson convenes the Computing On Earth Lab, an experimental collaboration bringing together social scientists, humanists, artists, and engineers to rethink the material and planetary foundations of computing. The lab reflects his commitment to interdisciplinary approaches that address computing's environmental impacts and sustainability challenges.

Her extensive background includes research positions at King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry (2004-2006) and collaborations with numerous international organizations including WHO, EU Fundamental Rights Agency, and The McPin Foundation. Dr. Russo earned her Doctorate from Brunel University London, College of Health and Life Sciences in 2019. Her dissertation, "Unmaking madness. Exploring collective first-person epistemology," received the university's Research Excellence Award. She also holds a Diploma in Clinical Psychology from the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Philosophy (1992), and has practical experience working with women's shelters, refugee services, and mental health organizations. Russo's research centers on Mad Studies, emancipatory research methodologies, and dialogic knowledge production. Her work critically examines psychiatric practices while centering experiential knowledge and marginalized epistemologies. She explores how collaborative methods can transform social work practices and mental health systems, with particular attention to epistemic justice and the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in mental health contexts. Her scholarship consistently challenges power dynamics in knowledge production and advocates for approaches that value diverse ways of knowing. Analysis of her publication history reveals a clear trajectory toward increasingly sophisticated engagement with epistemic justice frameworks and the political dimensions of knowledge production. Her recent work focuses on de-psychiatrizing research methodologies, exploring alternatives to crisis support through autonomous organizing, and examining the international foundations of Mad Studies as a scholarly field. This evolution demonstrates her commitment to developing theoretically robust yet practically applicable approaches to mental health research and practice. Research Excellence Award from Brunel University London for doctoral dissertation Co-editor of "The Routledge Handbook of Mad Studies" (2021) Co-editor of "Searching for a Rose Garden.

Ron Wakkary is a prominent researcher and faculty member at Simon Fraser University's School of Interactive Arts and Technology, with a dual appointment at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Industrial Design department. His work bridges Human-Computer Interaction and Interaction Design, focusing on innovative approaches to design research and practice. Wakkary's research interests center around Human-Computer Interaction, Interaction Design, and Research through Design methodologies. He has pioneered work in More-than-human Design, exploring relationships between humans and non-human entities through design. His research in Material Speculation investigates how physical materials can inform critical inquiry, while his work on Sustainability examines ecological approaches to design practice. Wakkary also contributes significantly to Design Methods, particularly in domestic contexts and everyday design practices. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong trend toward More-than-human Design approaches, with increasing focus on backyard practices, biomaterials, and human-nonhuman relationships. His work has evolved from traditional HCI topics toward more speculative and materially engaged design research. Wakkary's publications consistently explore the philosophical dimensions of design while maintaining strong empirical grounding through Research through Design methodologies. 5 Honorable Mention Paper Awards 4 Best Paper Awards Wakkary maintains an extensive collaborative network, with frequent co-authorship with researchers like Erik Stolterman (59 collaborations), Audrey Desjardins (26), William Odom (25), and Doenja Oogjes (20). His advising appears to focus on advanced design research, with students like Lauren Thu, Elvia Vasconcelos, and Doenja Oogjes producing work on biomaterials, voice annotation, and collective design practices. His research has received significant attention with 3,035 total citations across 193 publications. Wakkary's work appears to be conducted through the Research through Design community, with strong connections to both the Simon Fraser University and Eindhoven University of Technology design research groups. His recent focus on backyard practices suggests a shift toward more localized, situated design research that moves beyond traditional institutional settings.
