Professor of Marketing, Cardiff University I am a Professor of Marketing at Cardiff Business School. My research addresses the theoretical debates, drivers and barriers surrounding sustainable behaviours relating to domestic consumption, access-based consumption, and festival/event attendance with a focus on events/ festivals as agents of sustainable behaviour change. I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA) and an Affiliate of CAST (Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations).
Postdoctoral researcher, Chr. Michelsen Institute I am a conservation scientist who uses both biological and social science methods to help make conservation both more effective and more socially just. My PhD at the University of Manchester and Chester Zoo focused on the eastern black rhino in Kenya. I used metabarcoding and population modelling to investigate variable breeding success between individuals and reserves in Laikipia, and determine if this was in part caused by differences in diet. I also used social science methods to study the role of zoos and concepts of wildness in the conservation of large herbivores. I spent a few years working on research, land use and climate change policy for the British Ecological Society and Citizens Advice, and have now returned to academia as a postdoc at the Chr. Michelsen Institute in Bergen. I focus on the CONLAB (Conservation Labor: A New Frontier in Labor Theory and Conservation Science) project, studying how biodiversity conservation affects labor dynamics across axes of social difference and hierarchies of wage labour.

Associate professor, Universitat de Girona Núria Roura-Pascual is a professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Girona. Her research focuses on understanding the ecology and distribution of invasive alien species, especially social terrestrial insects, and providing effective solutions for their management. Through a combination of field observations, quantitative modelling, participatory discussions and, more recently, scenario analysis, she has developed a deep understanding of how biological invasions work and the different tools available for their management.
