York, England, United Kingdom

Hi, I'm Laura, I used to work in "urban regeneration" and became increasingly concerned that physical "development" projects were extracting wealth from local areas and doing more harm than good to both the planet and their host communities. I'm really interested in reversing this situation, so people and planet come first.

I'm a political ecologist and early-career researcher with interests in the re-politicisation of economics; just futures beyond neoliberal capitalism; the political ecologies of consumerism; and (struggles against) epistemic erasure in/by neoliberal natures. I teach at the Centre for Alternative Technology (Wales) and the University of Edinburgh. I live in Edinburgh and am eager to engage with groups across central Scotland.

Former Teacher and Political Theory Graduate. Now working part-time as an online tutor, and very keen to learn more about how Doughnut Economics works in practice, and to get involved in the practical side of its inspiring, long-term vision.

Kidlington, England, United Kingdom

Philosophy graduate who fixes things for a living. Currently gas boilers and heating systems, but could be anything. Always been interested in what makes people think what they think. Linguistics - Chomsky's tranformative-generative grammar, deep structure and surface structure, the limits of language, and what that has to say about the limits of human thought. I have long thought that people mainly think in images, or 'first' think in images and then maybe if they have time 'do the maths'. Guesswork. Simple rules for action. Approximation. The simple rule, "Take what you need from the environment, dump the waste just anywhere, and move on," has always served humans and other animals well. Humans are the only species which has reached the limits of that 'simple rule', that 'approximation', and has now a conflict between that simple rule and the 'maths' which don't add up. More than anything we need new ways of looking at things that DO add up in a finite world.
