Kangacepe Zulu
I am a PhD student at the University of Bolton, undertaking a doctoral degree by research. I am analyzing state and non-state actors' approaches to climate change interventions in Zambia. Basically trying to investigate the stakeholder-coordination nexus and bring out valuable lessons for public policy, in general, and Africa's sustainability in view of climate change, specifically.
My current field of work revolves around development planning and public policy. But I have an interest in other topical issues such as politics (and the science behind it) and media.
I am also a Theologian in the making. Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary, USA, was gracious enough to offer me a distance learning opportunity; so I am slowly chasing after an MA in Systematic Theology.
I hope I haven't forgotten to also mention that I am a trained computer programmer... I am supposed to get machines to do stuff for us. But haven't done much programming in recent years!

Karen Salmon
Professor of Psychology, Te Herenga Waka — Victoria University of Wellington
Karen Salmon is broadly interested in youth mental health. In particular, her broad focus is on how psychological difficulties (e.g., behavioural problems, depression) develop and how they might be reduced. Her current specific interest iis in how autobiographical memory is related to psychological wellbeing, particularly for children and adolescents. Autobiographical memory is memory for our personal experiences.These kinds of memories play important roles in our lives, including maintaining a sense of identity across time; guiding decisions on future courses of action; and helping to develop and build relationships with others.
Within this broader area, Karen's research (with students and collaborators) asks two main questions. First, how are the qualities of young people's memories of their personal experiences related to their depression, anxiety, and wellbeing? Second, how the qualities of children and adolescents’ reminiscing conversations with the adults in their lives shape their personal memories, their understanding of their world, and their psychological wellbeing?
