Tom Böhler, Ph.D., teaches human ecology at the School of Global Studies at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. His teaching focuses on what todays mainstream processes of sustainable development in rich consumer societies like Sweden can learn from perspectives such as critical post-humanism (sustainability and trans-species egalitarianism), political ecology (natural resources, power and [in]justice); ecological economy (sustainability and the endurance of natural resources), economic democracy (sustainability and collective ownership), and political ontology (sustainability and pluralism of ontologies).

Ben Campbell is senior lecturer in the Department of Anthropology, Durham University, UK, and directs the MSc in Sustainability, Culture and Development. He is co-chair of the Low Carbon Energy for Development Network. His research focuses on poverty, livelihoods, and resources in Nepal; on innovation among mountain indigenous communities; on the impacts of environmental conservation on local institutions of common property management; and on energy transitions from fuelwood use to biogas at high altitudes. His publications include Living between Juniper and Palm: Nature, Culture and Power in the Himalayas (Oxford University Press, 2013), and "Communities of Energy," (Economic Anthropology, 2016).

Linus Karlsson is a PhD student at the Department of Urban and Rural Development at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. His research interests include critical agrarian studies, the politics of land use, state formation, and state-citizen relations. In particular, he focuses on how regime shifts in land-use governance generate new conflicts over public authority and rights in resources. In his research, he moves between the fields of geography, anthropology, sociology, and postcolonial theory.
