Anna Childs
I am Deputy Director (Academic) of the International Development Office at the OU, with oversight across all our programmes which deal with teacher training, child rights, higher education capacity building and more. Issues like trafficking are part of a broader theory of change around education – for example teacher training is an essential element in supporting children to be aware of their own rights. I have been on the board of a school in Kathmandu for about 15 years, and visit Nepal about twice a year on average.
I have edited 3 books, written 12 chapters and delivered a large number of papers, conference presentations etc. My early research area (most of which is published under Anna Peachey) was in online presence and student community, which transitioned into innovation in education for development. My last keynote was at a conference on Higher Education for Development in Ethiopia last summer, and I will soon deliver a keynote at Nepal's National Conference on Science and Technology, an event that takes place every 4 years and is inaugurated by the Prime Minister of Nepal. The theme for 2016 is Science, Technology and Innovation for Nepal’s Graduation to Developing Country Status.
I support the Director of International Development at The Open University in the strategic direction of project activity. Drawing on over fifteen years of experience in project design, management and evaluation, I also provide support for Project Academic Directors.
Along with delivering academic support for the International Development Office’s (IDO) current projects and for the development of new IDO projects, I guide and advise academics in the Faculties when developing bids and proposals for international development projects and research activity.
Having won The Open University Teaching Award for my work with distance learning in 2005, one of my projects was also shortlisted for The Times Education Award for Outstanding Innovation in ICT in 2008. I have been an expert speaker at over 25 global and UK conferences.

Anna Sobek
Professor of Environmental Chemistry and Head of Department of Environmental Sciences, Stockholm University
My research is about organic contaminants. I am interested in how contaminants distribute in the environment, with emphasis on the aquatic environment, and how processes in the environment affect where contaminants end up and what risk they pose to organisms and ecosystems. Much of my research therefore bridges between environmental chemistry, ecotoxicology and biogeochemistry, and sometimes even environmental law and social sciences. I am interested in the organic carbon cycle and how it contributes to determine environmental fate and risk of hydrophobic organic contaminants. A recent example of this is the work we did to study how the origin of organic matter in Baltic Sea sediment affects the sediment sorption capacity of PCBs and PAHs, and thereby also the release of these chemicals to the water column.
In my research group we currently have several projects to study the effects of organic contaminant mixtures on various aquatic organisms by using passive dosing and the chemical activity concept.
We have projects to study processes that affect the release of contaminants from sediment to water and how to use passive samplers for improved risk assessment of contaminated sediments. In a collaborative project with researchers on hadal systems, we study the occurrence of organic contaminants in hadal trenches (the deepest parts of the global ocean). Here we are particularly interested in how degradation of organic matter in the trench affects storage of contaminants in these extreme places.
In our research we combine theory and methods from various disciplines. We work in the field, perform experiments in the lab, develop methods for chemical analysis and use literature surveys and apply models.

Anoop Bhogal-Nair
Senior Lecturer in Marketing and Consumption, De Montfort University
I am an inter-disciplinary marketing and consumer research academic engaged in research that investigates how individuals negotiate and consume both their sense of physical being and their self-identity within the spaces they occupy. Specifically, my research activity has centred upon minoritized consumers and vulnerable groups (disability and marketplace access, gender-based violence, religious minorities), focusing on the challenges, threats, and opportunities individuals face in their daily lives. My research work sits at the intersection of Identity and voice, positive social impact, and the broad wellbeing agenda. Through adopting the sensibilities of a transformative consumer research approach, I am passionate about engaging in research that can: benefit society; allows for an engagement with other disciplines; and adopts non-extractive and collaborative approaches with stakeholder groups through creative methodologies (digital storytelling, poetry, applied theatre, co-creative strategies and participatory research).
Currently, I am engaged in a number of externally-funded research projects funded by The British Academy, The Arts and Humanities Research Council, and Innovate UK. Working with colleagues across a range of disciplines (Health and Life Sciences, Education, Film Studies, Theatre) these projects focus on trans-disciplinary research in South Asia and focus on skills provision for young rural women in India; gender-based violence among migrant women in India and intervention strategies through the use of applied-theatre; and the Indian film industry, heritage and migration. Central to these projects is the use of insightful, methodological approaches from the digital humanities (digital storytelling and photovoice).
In terms of my approach to teaching, I believe in creating a learning environment that challenges and questions the status quo through harnessing a culture of critical enquiry. Encouraging students to consider a multiplicity of perspectives in marketing and consumer behaviour has been at the heart of my approach to teaching both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Subject areas I have taught are Consumer Behaviour, Marketing Communications, Creative Communications, Global Branding, International Marketing and Consumer Culture Theory.

Anthony Pereira
Anthony Pereira graduated from the University of Sussex in 1982 with a BA in Politics and then in 1986 obtained an MA in Government from Harvard University.
His PhD dissertation at Harvard, defended in 1991, involved research on rural labour organisations in Northeast Brazil under two different periods, the late 1950s and early 1960s, and the late 1970s and 1980s. Rural labour organisations played an important role in the politics of both periods, and the dissertation drew on newspaper archives, qualitative interviews, government documents, and a survey of trade union leaders to analyse the changing nature and impact of that role.
After completing his PhD, Pereira taught at the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research in New York City. In 1995, he was a visiting professor at Harvard University, and in 1997-9, a visiting professor at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University in Boston.
In 1999 he moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, to take a position in the Department of Political Science at Tulane University. During this time he finished his second major research project, a comparative study of the Brazilian military regime’s legal treatment of opponents and dissidents. This study, drawing on court records and interviews, compared the Brazilian military regime (1964-85) to the military regimes in Argentina (1976-83) and Chile (1973-90).
Pereira’s current work concerns citizenship, human rights, public security, and state coercion in Brazil. This includes a study of the performance of a relatively new human rights institution, the police ombudsman, in two different states in Brazil, as well as an analysis of some recent efforts to reform the police. Pereira has been a member of the Executive Committee of the Brazilian Studies Association (BRASA) and is an occasional commentator for BBC Brasil.
