Chiara Beccalossi is an Associate Professor in history at the University of Lincoln in the UK. After graduating from the University of Bologna, she completed her PhD at Queen Mary University of London before undertaking a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Queensland. On returning to the UK, she held a position at Birkbeck, University of London.

Chiara works on the medicalisation of sexual behaviour and gender identities in a transnational context and has published extensively on the history of sexuality. Her publications include Female Sexual Inversion: Same-Sex Desires in Italian and British Sexology, c. 1870–1920 (Palgrave, 2012) and numerous peer-reviewed articles.

In 2015, Chiara won a five-year Wellcome Trust award to research how hormone treatments were used as eugenic tools in Southern Europe and Latin America. Her forthcoming monograph, Sexology, Hormones and Medical Experiments in the Latin Atlantic World: Local Power and International Networks, 1918-1950, focusses on four medical institutes in Italy, Spain, Argentina and Brazil, and traces their collaboration to explore how hormones were used to control human reproduction and normalise gender and sexual deviances.

Chiara has held several international visiting fellowships at prestigious universities, including Dartmouth (USA) and the University of Sydney, and a visiting professorship at the University of Toulouse Jean Jaurès. In 2018, she organised a touring video art exhibition, ‘Transitional States: Hormones at the Crossroads of Art and Science’ and public seminar series to raise awareness about trans-related issues, which saw her work with art galleries across Europe, such as Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB), and LGBTQ+ organisations in the UK, Italy and Spain.

Camilla Hawthorne (she/they) is Associate Professor of Sociology and Critical Race & Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She is founder and co-director of the UCSC Black Geographies Lab, and also serves as program director and faculty member for the Black Europe Summer School in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Her work addresses the racial politics of migration and citizenship and the insurgent geographies of the Black Mediterranean. Camilla is co-editor of The Black Mediterranean: Bodies, Borders and Citizenship (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021) and The Black Geographic: Praxis, Resistance, Futurity (Duke University Press, 2023), and is author of Contesting Race and Citizenship: Youth Politics in the Black Mediterranean (Cornell University Press, 2022; translated into Italian as Razza e cittadinanza. Frontiere contese e contestate nel Mediterraneo nero, Astarte Edizioni, 2023). In 2020, she was named one of the national Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera‘s 110 "Women of the Year" for her work on the Black diaspora in Italy; she was also awarded the Leonardo Da Vinci Society Award in Humanities/Social Sciences in 2021 and the Young Investigator Award for Innovation in the Study of Italian Culture in 2022, both from the Italian Scientists & Scholars in North American Foundation. Camilla received her PhD in Geography from UC Berkeley in 2018.
