Christoph Rupprecht (he/him) is a geographer based in Japan. When he’s not researching food, agriculture, green space, degrowth and solarpunk with a more-than-human lens, you might find him reading science fiction, hanging out with plants, trying to make cheese, or taking a nap. He believes the imagination holds the key for jointly building sustainable and just futures for all life.

Deborah Cleland (she/her) is an activist/ acrobat/academic, with all the compromise and circuitous life paths that those slashes imply. She dabbles in interactive theatre and games, site-specific place-making and creative non-fiction, hoping to bring her research into social justice, inclusion and sustainability to life through writing and performance.

Rajat Chaudhuri (he/him) is a bilingual author, environment columnist and climate activist. His works include novels, short story collections, translations, and an Asian speculative fiction anthology, curated and introduced by him. His most recent novel, The Butterfly Effect was twice listed by Book Riot as a ‘Fifty must read eco-disasters in fiction’ and among ‘Ten works of environmental literature from around the world’. Chaudhuri has been a British Council Charles Wallace fellow. He is currently working on narratives for a co-created video game about alternative climate futures while an anthology of translated Bengali poetry is forthcoming. Chaudhuri lives and writes in Calcutta.

Norie Tamura (she/her) is a social scientist in Japan, researching agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. After working as a consultant in those areas, she moved to academia. Growing up in the Western Japan metropolitan area, she repeatedly discovered alternative universes in rural areas, and came to realize that knowing and experiencing a different world is the key to envisioning a different future.

Sarena Ulibarri (she/her) is a graduate of the Clarion Fantasy and Science Fiction Writers’ Workshop at UCSD, and earned an MFA from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Her fiction has appeared in Lightspeed, DreamForge, GigaNotoSaurus, and elsewhere. A personal essay on gardening during the pandemic appeared in Strange Horizons, and you can listen to her ranting about solarpunk on about half a dozen podcasts, including Imaginary Worlds, Alan and Jeremy vs SF, and Yale Climate Connections. She has edited two anthologies of optimistic climate fiction, Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers (2018) and Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Winters (2020).
