My name is Gearoid Millar, and I am a Professor of Sociology and Coordinator of both the MSc in Peace and Conflict Studies and the MSc in Policy Evaluation at the University of Aberdeen in the UK. My research uses an Ethnographic Peace Research approach to examine local experiences of international interventions for peace, justice, and development. I have published research analysing the complex and unpredictable interactions (characterised by Hybridity and Friction) between international peacebuilding interventions and local communities and individuals who experience those interventions.

A strategic health care professional with significant experience working in multi-jurisdictional hospitals and health regulatory facilities. My interest is in health policy, and my focus is on postgraduate medical training, creating outcomes measurement and quality standards for all medical and non-medical training programs. Being that I am a KPI practitioner allowed me to understand the impact of training outcomes on patients' safety.
I enjoy generating new ideas and devising feasible solutions to broadly relevant problems. My colleagues would describe me as a driven, resourceful individual who maintains a positive, proactive attitude when faced with adversity.

Jordan is focused on Health Equity as premise for achieving Sustainable Population Health which is the ultimate indicator for Sustainable Development (SD). He points out that all policies have differential impacts on health of populations, which if not properly assessed and considered can lead to growing health inequalities, thus impede SD. He argues that inclusive policies should be a normative goal and Health in All Policies is the right approach for operationalizing policies and investments in all sectors.

Dr Aran Martin is a Research Fellow at the Melbourne School of Government and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal Global Change, Peace and Security. From 2008-2014 he was a Project Manager with the Centre for Dialogue at La Trobe University.

Dr Martin is a member of the Australian Attorney General’s Department, Countering Violent Extremism Research Panel and the Victorian Department of Premier & Cabinet's Research Institute on Social Cohesion.
His most recent project was a qualitative review commissioned by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade of the experience of Australian government personnel involved in conflict prevention, peacemaking and peacebuilding programming. Its aim was to derive lessons learnt for the Department to improve its capacity to work more effectively upstream to address the drivers of conflict and to develop new policy and programming tools for early action in response to emerging risks of conflict and instability.

I aspire to make creative use of our collective understanding of progressive taxation and public expenditures to argue for redistributive design in public policy responses to challenges arising from income and wealth inequalities. As my very modest attempt to make a contribution to public discourse in this age of disinformation, I explore the battle of ideas policy advocates wage on the costs and benefits of progressive taxation and public expenditures, the political commitment people are willing to make to level the playing field between the Haves and Have-nots and the policy options citizens can consider to hold the plutocrats, the oligarchs and the rest of the power elite accountable to democratic ideals.
