Kerryn Higgs is an Australian writer. She received her Ph D in Geography and Environmental Studies from the University of Tasmania (UTAS). Her 2014 book Collision Course: Endless Growth on a Finite Planet (MIT Press) examined ideas about limits to material growth, resistance to those ideas, the elevation of growth as the central objective of policy-makers (especially since 1975 or so), and the mounting influence of corporate-funded think tanks dedicated to the propagation of neoliberal principles and to the denial of health and environmental dangers. Kerryn has published widely on the limits to growth debate, sustainability (including the Sustainable Development Goals), development, poverty and inequality. She taught history at Melbourne University and environmental studies at the University of New South Wales. She is currently a University Associate with the School of Political Science at UTAS and an Associate Member of the Club of Rome.
