Christian Siderius
Senior researcher in water and food security, London School of Economics and Political Science
Christian is an adaptation and water resources expert with 20 years of experience in conducting research and consultancy on climate and water risks. He grew up in the Netherlands and, after four years in the UK, is now living in Sydney, Australia. He is especially interested in the value of water, the link between climate variability, risk, resilience and decision making, and the concept of ‘digital twins’. Christian’s ambition is to make a science-based contribution to societal challenges linked to the water-energy-food-environment nexus. To do so, he can draw from years of experience in conducting pilot research, working with big data and remote sensing, applying hydrological and hydro-economic models, and interacting with stakeholders.
Christian has a Master's and engineering degree in agriculture and integrated water management and a combined PhD in environmental economics and earth system sciences, both from Wageningen University, the Netherlands. He is the founder of Uncharted Waters ltd, a climate-tech start-up in Sydney, that is building a digital twin of the global water and food system. Previously he worked at Wageningen Environmental Research, from 2004 to 2019, and for the Grantham Research Institute at the London School of Economics in London, from 2016 to 2020. He is still a visiting senior research fellow at both.

Christian Turney
Pro Vice-Chancellor of Research, University of Technology Sydney
I am an experienced, positive, energetic and optimistic leader, scientist, entrepreneur and author. I have the privilege to be the Pro Vice-Chancellor of Research at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). I champion the value of research findings in decision-making and am passionate about universities supporting the rapid decarbonization of the global economy to reach net-zero carbon pollution.

Christina Grozinger
Professor of Entomology and Director, Center for Pollinator Research, Penn State
Bees are critical pollinators in natural and agricultural landscapes, and key model systems for the study of social behavior. Grozinger's research group examines the mechanisms underlying social behavior and health in honey bees and related species. Her studies on social behavior seek to elucidate the proximate and ultimate mechanisms mediating cooperation and conflict in insect societies. Her studies on pollinator health evaluate the impacts of biotic and abiotic stressors at the molecular, physiological and behavioral level, and examine how bees’ resilience to these stressors can be bolstered by management practices and environmental contexts, particularly by improved nutrition.
To help beekeepers, growers, land managers and members of the public better assess and mitigate the stressors that their managed and wild bee populations experience, Grozinger works with the Beescape team to develop models and decision support tools to evaluate landscape conditions and predict bee health at local scales (see beescape.org).
The Grozinger Lab group is highly collaborative and interdisciplinary, with individuals from multiple programs and perspectives.

Christina Stringer
Associate Professor, Business School, University of Auckland, Waipapa Taumata Rau
Christina is an Associate Professor in the Department of Management and International Business.
In 2008, she undertook a project for New Zealand’s Ministry of Fisheries (now Ministry of Primary Industries) which looked at the extent that New Zealand caught fish was being processed in China and exported to key markets. This project led in 2010, to Christina and colleagues investigating the use of forced labour on board New Zealand foreign chartered fishing vessels. This research, in turn, led to a Ministerial Inquiry, a major shift in government policy, and the enactment of a law requiring all foreign charter vessels to be reflagged to New Zealand by 1 May 2016.
In 2012, Christina and her two co-researchers (Dr Glenn Simmons and Professor Hugh Whittaker) received the Dean's Award: a special award recognising the impact of research concerned with human rights issues on-board foreign charter vessels fishing in New Zealand's waters. In 2017, the fisheries team (Dr Glenn Simmons, Professor Hugh Whittaker, Associate Professor Christina Stringer, Associate Professor Manuka Henare and Professor Nigel Haworth) received a Research Excellence Award for Strategic Impact in Research.
This research, in turn, led to research undertaken on behalf of the Human Trafficking Research Coalition (comprising Stand Against Slavery, Hagar New Zealand, Préscha Initiative, ECPAT NZ) and the release of the ‘Worker Exploitation in New Zealand: A Troubling Landscape’ report in 2016.
Most recently in 2019, Christina completed research with Professor Francis Collins (University of Waikato) into the exploitation of temporary migrant workers in New Zealand, and with Professor Snejina Michailova research into exploitation in the jurisdictions New Zealand compares itself to (Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom). This research fed into the extensive review undertaken by New Zealand’s Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), into migrant worker exploitation in New Zealand.

Christina Wilkins
Lecturer in Film and Creative Writing, University of Birmingham
I am researcher in contemporary film, television and literature with a specialism in adaptations and mental health. I am also a poetry editor for a small press. My most recent book looks at character, the body, and adaptation was released in 2022. I am currently working on a book about male mental illness in contemporary culture.
My primary research area is adaptations. I have published various chapters related to this field, regularly participate in the AAS conferences (and am on the board of trustees), have established the BAFTSS Adaptation group, and have recently released a book in this area. This book, Embodying Adaptation: Character and the Body examines the connection between character and the body, and the hierarchies inherent within this relationship. It seeks to find a new approach to adaptations that is framed by the body and its importance in our increasingly intangible society. It was published through Palgrave in 2022 as part of the Adaptations and Visual Culture series. My other research interests include mental health, identity, memory, and queer studies. This is reflected in the chapters I have published on these topics. Another strand of my research is male mental health and suicide in contemporary culture, which will be the focus of my next monograph.

Professor of Geography, University of Nebraska Omaha
My specialties include the various intersections of landscape (especially the Great Plains), media, and gender. I have published numerous articles on the Great Plains and its perception by humans (historically, also coverage by the media of the pipeline battles). I have worked on women's use of maps for their social activism during the Progressive Era (such as on the "suffrage map" used by suffragists as a propaganda tool during the suffrage movement) and I have published a book on the subject (Routledge).
I am currently a partner in the Omaha Spatial Justice Project which is examining the history of discriminatory housing practices (restrictive covenants, redlining, neighborhood erasure in the name of urban renewal) in Omaha Nebraska. This project is just beginning but I believe it has the most potential for articles of interest to The Conversation.
