Glenn A. Albrecht retired as Professor of Sustainability at Murdoch University in Perth, Western Australia in 2014. He is now an Honorary Fellow in the School of Geosciences at the University of Sydney. He is an environmental philosopher with both theoretical and applied interests in the relationship between ecosystem and human health, broadly defined. He has pioneered the research domain of “psychoterratic” or earth-related mental health and emotional conditions with his concept of “solastalgia” or the lived experience of negative environmental change. Albrecht's current major transdisciplinary research interest—the positive and negative psychological, emotional, and cultural relationships people have to place and its transformation—is one that sees him having a national and international research profile in an emergent field of academic inquiry where he has been recognized as a global pioneer. His book Earth Emotions: New Words for a New World was published by Cornell University Press in 2019.

David Borish is a PhD candidate in Public Health and International Development at the University of Guelph, and a research-based videographer and photographer. David's work unites an interest in research for transformative social and environmental change with a passion for visual media. With the intent of utilizing the strengths of both fields, his academic and work experience has been shaped by the desire to push at the frontiers of using audio-visual techniques to explore and understand social and environmental issues around the world. In collaboration with Inuit from Nunatsiavut and NunatuKavut, Labrador, David is focused on co-producing knowledge about the relationship between caribou and Inuit well-being through community-based documentary film and photography.
