Linda Green is a Professor of Anthropology at the University of Arizona. Her scholarship draws on insights garnered from over two decades of field-based research that has centered on multi-dimensional aspects of violence. Although her research is empirically, historically and geographically diverse, it centers on the ways in which experiences of power, violence and class, race/ethnic and gendered inequalities reshape ordinary peoples thinking and practices. More recently she has worked with incarcerated men to write a play "Inside out: Men Behind Bars" which was performed for a public audience at The Invisible Theatre in Tucson, Arizona.

Her fields of interest are the Anthropology of Violence; Migration Studies; Refuge, Diaspora and Transnationalism; Memory Studies and Historical Anthropology. Her current project is on visual anthropology and arts-based participatory research in Kurdish transnational settings.

Nerina Weiss is Senior Researcher at Fafo Institute for Labour and Social Research in Oslo, Norway. She holds a PhD in Social Anthropology from the University of Oslo and has built her scholarship through extensive ethnographic fieldwork, particularly in Eastern Turkey, Cyprus, and Scandinavia. Her research centres on political violence, torture, and trauma, examined through the lens of citizen-state relations, migration, and practices of control and punishment. From 2011 to 2013 she was a Marie Curie Intra-European Fellow at DIGNITY - Danish Institute Against Torture, where she deepened her focus on the nexus between torture, trauma, and political subjectivities.
