I'm a Senior Research Fellow in the Faculty of Science and Health and the Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries at the University of Portsmouth. I'm also Deputy Lead for the University's Revolution Plastics initiative, driving interdisciplinary research and innovation to tackle the global plastics crisis. A biological scientist by training and having previously worked in the arts, the primary purpose of my research is to address global problems such as air quality, lung health and plastic pollution. I use transdisciplinary and participatory methodologies for action research and dissemination within the University's Sustainability and the Environment research theme. I work on several international projects using creative methods, such as music, digital storytelling, puppetry and visual arts, to engage communities and find solutions to global issues in line with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). I play a central role in developing international partnerships for Revolution Plastics, including our connections with community partners, governments and academia in the global south. This includes the establishment of a Memorandum of Understanding with International University Vietnam, Strathmore University, Kenya and Shahjalal University, Bangladesh. As a founding member of the AIR (Action for Interdisciplinary Research) Network, I pioneered novel creative approaches for working with community champions in Mukuru, Nairobi, Kenya. We continue to work with these community champions in the TUPUMUE, Action Against Covid Transmission (ACT) and Sustainable Transitions to End Plastic Pollution (STEPP) projects, further developing the methodologies and delivering training workshops for community based champions.

Kristen Campbell Wilcox holds a PhD from the University at Albany with a specialization in Curriculum and Instruction. A former second and foreign language teacher in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Brazil, and with Japanese, Spanish, and Portuguese languages in her toolkit, her areas of research interest have focused on the intersections of language, culture, and academic performance among diverse learners and what policies, processes, and practices close opportunity gaps among adolescents and young adults in particular. She has received a number of awards for her teaching, service, and research including the National School Development Council's Cooperative Leadership Award, University at Albany, School of Education’s Full-time teaching award, The University at Albany’s Community Engagement Award and the Literacy Research Association’s Committee on Ethnicity, Race, and Multilingualism Early Career Award. Wilcox has been called upon to conduct research and offer guidance to state as well as national leaders particularly with regard to closing opportunity gaps for diverse learners. In this capacity she served on President Obama’s Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics and New York’s Governor Cuomo Summit for Drop-out Prevention and Student Engagement. As a bridging and translational scholar who seeks to connect research and practice, her research delves into questions around policy and leadership as well as curriculum and instruction with a consistent emphasis on what malleable factors within classrooms, schools, and districts impact socioeconomically, linguistically, and culturally diverse youth outcomes. She has published her research in six books and edited volumes, eight book chapters, dozens of peer-reviewed journal articles, and practitioner journal articles, newsletters, briefs, blogs, and reports. Her research has appeared in such academic journals as the Journal of Educational Change, Peabody Journal of Education, Educational Administration Quarterly, Journal of Research in Rural Education, Education and Urban Society, Journal of School Leadership, Teachers College Record, Research in the Teaching of English, Reading & Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, and Cultural Studies: Critical Methodologies among others. As Research and Development Director of NYKids (a public-private research practice partnership) for 15 years, Wilcox has led numerous studies of odds-beating schools (i.e. schools achieving above-predicted outcomes among diverse youth) identifying the salient policies, processes, and practices that differentiate these schools from others with less exemplary student outcomes. Wilcox’s NYKids research informed her development of a set of improvement science based resources and tools that support system-wide improvements, which she has presented at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching annual summits. Based on her research, Wilcox has worked with over 40 K-12 district and school teams as well as higher education leaders in using improvement science-based processes to improve outcomes and support sustained improvements across the educational pipeline.

Our work seeks to understand what shapes people's identity. Our research investigates how people think about their identity, changes to their identity, and how identity is different according cultural contexts. We use a personality approach to understanding individual differences in identity. The overarching goal of our research is to illuminate what makes people who they are as dynamic complex individuals living across the world.

Kate Kolpan is a bioarchaeologist and forensic anthropologists whose research focuses on migration, violence, warfare and the politics related to the exhumation, identification and the commemoration of human remains in both the past and present. Her most recent work examines the possibilities of utilizing isotope analysis to help identify the origins of unknown combatants who perished while fighting for the Axis Powers in the Second World War. She has also been exploring the politics involved in identifying combatants from conflicts to assess how contemporary stakeholders utilize human remains to serve their own purposes.
Dr. Kolpan has worked with prehistoric, historic and contemporary skeletal collections and her education, research and professional development has provided her with opportunities to travel to many places such as the West Indies, Thailand, Vietnam, the Balkans, Germany, California, Florida, Iowa and Washington State. A Philadelphia native, Dr. Kolpan received her B.A. from New York University, her M.A, from Chico State and her Ph.D. from the University of Florida.
