Esteban Calvo
Director, Bing Overseas Studies
BioEsteban Calvo, PhD, MsPH is a global scholar and academic leader in longevity, health, and public policy whose work connects education and research to real-world impact. Trained as a sociologist and epidemiologist, he studies how social contexts across the life course shape health, wellbeing, and inequality, and how institutions can respond to demographic change through evidence-based policy and practice.
Over more than two decades, Dr. Calvo has designed and led interdisciplinary academic and research initiatives in Chile and the United States. He has served as Dean of a large and diverse faculty, founded interdisciplinary research centers integrating social and health sciences with gerontology, and built international partnerships linking universities, governments, and civil society. He has also held faculty appointments across schools of the social sciences, public health, and business, and advised public and private institutions across three continents on issues related to aging, health, social security, and strategy. Across these roles, his focus has been on strengthening institutions, improving decision-making, and creating learning environments that translate scholarship into institutional and public impact.
His research draws on large-scale longitudinal data from up to three million individuals across more than 160 countries and has informed public policy, institutional strategy, and legal decision-making. His work has been recognized by the American Public Health Association, the American Sociological Association, the Gerontological Society of America, and the Retirement Research Foundation.

His recent research is dedicated to South African rock art epistemology after apartheid.

Juliana 'Julie' Dresvina
Overseas Studies - Oxford, Bing Overseas Studies
BioI am a medievalist and cultural historian; my work combines history, literary criticism, art history, and psychology. One of my current research projects explores how people use self-narratives — creative, devotional, or non-fiction — as a form of therapeutic practice. I am also interested in how human-shaped spaces of spiritual significance, along with religious material objects, function therapeutically: from devotional manuscripts and misericord carvings to rock sanctuaries, holy wells, and thermal springs.
I have published monographs with Oxford University Press and Brill, and I teach interdisciplinary courses on cultural history, literature, psychology, and art, as well as do study skills mentoring. -
