Robin
Grove-White
Robin Grove-White is Professor of Environment and Society in the Institute for Environment, Philosophy and Public Policy at Lancaster University, where he was previously co-founder and Director of the Centre for the Study of Environmental Change. His concern since entering academia in 1987 has been the pursuit of new approaches to environmental research, developing cross-disciplinary collaborations across the social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities, and fresh patterns of creative interaction with a wide range of 'user' bodies in the policy and NGO world. He has published widely on these themes. A former Director of CPRE, Robin is currently a member of the Agriculture and Environment Biotechnology Commission and Board Chairman of Greenpeace UK.

John
Foster
John Foster is Research Fellow in the Institute for Environment, Philosophy and Public Policy at Lancaster University. A former Associate Director of the Institute, he has worked in management and consultancy as well as academia. He edited Valuing Nature? Economics, Ethics and Environment (London: Routledge, 1997), based on research exploring the conceptual and socio-political assumptions of environmental economics for the ESRC Global Economic Change Programme. His more recent research interests have been in ecocriticism and sustainability education; he has published on the ways in which a sustainable society and a learning society presuppose one another, and the kinds of relation between scientific, social-scientific and humanities modes of education which they together imply.
