Mark Carter
Mark Carter has been researching aviation’s contribution to global warming for the last 6 years and helped set up both Flight Free Australia — http://www.flightfree.net.au — (a group campaigning to raise awareness of flying’s warming impact, with a ‘pledge to not fly’ call to action) and the No 3rd Tulla Runway coalition — http://www.no3rdtullarunway.net.au — campaigning agains the proposed third runway at Melbourne Airport. In 2018 I researched and wrote The elephant in the sky: the hazards of aviation emissions and how we can avoid them (https://flightfree.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/The-elephant-in-the-sky_online_s.pdf)
Gary Sigley
Gary Sigley is a Professor of Cultural Geography in the Faculty of Geographical Science at Beijing Normal University. His past research has focused on the cultural heritage and heritage routes of tea in Southwest China, and in particular the Ancient Tea Horse Road. This has been expanded to include researching the growth of tea heritage across China and recent Chinese government initiatives in the field of “tea diplomacy”. Gary is also developing a project on analysing how “China” has been interpreted within Western discourse during recent times of geopolitical transformations. The focus here is on Western “liberal eschatology” and “apocalyptic modernity”.
