|Colin Ellard is a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Waterloo and director of its Urban Realities Laboratory.  Ellard works at the intersection of urban and architectural design and experimental psychology.  He has developed a novel set of methods by which the human response to the built environment can be measured using a toolkit consisting of both traditional psychological methods and sensor-based measurements of physiology and brain function.  Ellard publishes his work frequently in the peer-reviewed scientific literature but he also engages in extensive knowledge mobilization work involving collaboration and partnership with architects, museums and other NGOs. Ellard is an Urban Design and Mental Health Fellow, a Salzburg Global Fellow and an editor of the Journal of Environmental Psychology and the Journal of Urban Design and Mental Health. Ellard’s most recent book is Places of the Heart (Bellevue Literary Press, 2015).

|Natalie Napier is the Lead of Research & Storytelling at social design agency, InWithForward. She sees these two mandates - research and storytelling - as an opportunity to redefine research relationships, share emerging narratives that convey possibility, and through them, identify the design specs of future social infrastructure.

 +
Her experience as an ethnographic researcher has taught her that listening to strangers is one of the most powerful social interventions that any of us can make. Natalie grew up on the west coast with parents who didn't believe in stranger danger and now lives with her partner, children, and a wonderful cast of household boarders in Peterborough, Ontario.
