Ted Hearne is a composer, singer, and bandleader who serves on the composition faculty at the University of Southern California. Praised by The New York Times for his 'tough edge and wildness of spirit,' and 'topical, politically sharp-edged works,' Hearne creates music inspired by the overlay of different viewpoints and their sonic possibilities. His compositions are personal, multi-dimensional works that often explore unconventional interactions of text and music, rooted in a sense of inquiry. Hearne's research interests center on politically engaged contemporary composition that blends multiple genres including jazz, pop, soul, gospel, electronica, and contemporary classical. His work frequently addresses social justice issues, American political history, and the intersection of text and music. Pitchfork called Hearne's work 'some of the most expressive socially engaged music in recent memory -- from any genre,' and Alex Ross wrote in The New Yorker that Hearne's music 'holds up as a complex mirror image of an information-saturated, mass-surveillance world, and remains staggering in its impact.' Hearne's major works include 'Sound From the Bench' (2018 Pulitzer Prize finalist), 'Place' (2021 Pulitzer Prize finalist and Grammy-nominated), and his upcoming recording 'Farming' with The Crossing. His compositions often take the form of multimedia theatrical pieces, operas, and choral works that examine themes of gentrification, corporate personhood, and American history. 2018 Pulitzer Prize finalist (for 'Sound From the Bench') 2021 Pulitzer Prize finalist (for 'Place') 2021 Grammy Award nominee (two categories for 'Place') 2014 New Voices Residency from Boosey and Hawkes Hearne's advising and collaborative work spans numerous institutions and artists. He has been commissioned by the San Francisco Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Royal Ballet and Opera, and New World Symphony. His collaborators include Erykah Badu, Pam Tanowitz, Taylor Mac, Damon Davis, and Daniel Fish, while his works have been conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas, John Adams, and Gustavo Dudamel. Currently, Hearne is working on a new operatic adaptation of Ursula K. Le Guin's 'The Dispossessed' scheduled to premiere in 2027. Hearne leads Unsettlement Music, a fluid ensemble of instrumentalists, vocalists, electronic musicians, and improvisers that tours with him and performs many of his large-scale works. This ensemble allows him to realize his complex, genre-blending compositions that require performers comfortable with both written and improvised elements across multiple musical traditions.

Jürgen Buder and Nadia Said are cognitive psychology researchers at the University of Tübingen, with Buder affiliated with the Leibniz-Institut für Wissensmedien (IWM) and Said as a postdoc in the Applied Cognitive Psychology research group. Their collaborative work focuses on understanding online information processing, particularly the dynamics of selective exposure versus selective response in digital environments. Their research examines how individuals engage with congenial versus uncongenial information, with a special focus on climate change discussions. They have identified what they term the 'uncongeniality bias' - the tendency for people, particularly younger individuals, to reply more to opposing viewpoints than to like-minded comments, which contrasts with traditional selective exposure patterns. Recent publications reveal nuanced findings about how knowledge and confidence differentially affect online discussion behavior. Their work shows that high knowledge decreases overall engagement but increases antagonism (replying to uncongenial content), while high confidence increases overall engagement but decreases antagonism. Their research spans cognitive psychology, social media studies, and climate change communication, with publications in high-impact journals including Psychological Science and New Media & Society. They have received ethical approval for their research methods from the Leibniz-Institut für Wissensmedien review board, and all data from their studies are publicly available through OSF repositories, demonstrating commitment to open science practices.

Bertjaap van der Ploeg is a University Lecturer in History and Lecturer-researcher in the Language & Development department at KPZ University of Applied Sciences, a specialized institution for primary education teacher training. He coordinates the "Samen Onderzoeken" (Research Together) project, which facilitates collaboration between research schools and universities of applied sciences on practical educational issues. His research focuses on historical perspective-taking in primary education, examining how students aged 10-12 develop the ability to understand historical contexts and viewpoints. Van der Ploeg views historical perspective-taking as a crucial citizenship skill that fosters empathy, critical thinking, and the ability to understand different perspectives. His work integrates history education with language development and citizenship education, exploring how these domains can reinforce each other in primary school settings. Van der Ploeg's research examines the use of different text types in history education, including abrasive texts (which challenge existing views), neighboring texts (which provide related contexts), and rich texts. His work investigates how these texts can stimulate historical reasoning and perspective-taking among primary school students. He has also developed expertise in the pedagogical content knowledge of experienced primary school teachers regarding historical perspective-taking instruction. His scientific contributions include publications in journals such as Resilience and Veerkracht, with recent work extending into 2025. Notable publications include "Historical perspective-taking as a citizenship skill" (2023) and "Breaking the bubble. How historical reasoning can contribute to empathy and understanding other perspectives" (2020). As a teacher educator, Van der Ploeg contributes to training future primary school teachers in history education. His research directly informs teacher training programs at KPZ University of Applied Sciences, helping prepare educators to effectively teach historical perspective-taking and integrate it with citizenship education. He actively participates in academic conferences including HEIRNET, History Didactics Day, and Velon Congress, presenting on topics related to historical perspective-taking, citizenship education, and the integration of history and language education in primary school settings.
