Andrea Cornwall is Professor of Anthropology and Development in the School of Global Studies at the University of Sussex. She has worked on participation as a researcher and practitioner for many years, and is author of Beneficiary, Consumer, Citizen (2000) and Democratizing Engagement (Demos) and co-editor of Pathways to Participation (with Garett Pratt, 2003), Spaces for Change?

Jerker Edström is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Development Studies, IDS, where his research interests focus on the men and masculinities in relation to structural dimensions of sex, gender and power in HIV epidemics, as well as on the politics of the global response.  He has studied and worked in HIV, Sexual and Reproductive Health, Population, Gender and Poverty since the mid 1980s.  His most recent post was at the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, where amongst other things, like NGO support programme development he drove the promotion and development of “Participatory Community Assessment” (PCA) methodologies in HIV with partners. Alan Greig has worked for over ten years as a consultant with community-based organizations and activist formations in sub-Saharan Africa, South and South-East Asia and the USA on the links between personal and political violence. Much of this work has been concerned with issues of masculinity and male power, and how these shape the lives of people of all genders. Through strategic planning, curriculum development and programme evaluations, Alan has supported the design and strengthening of innovative gender work with men rooted in a commitment to gender justice as a central element of social justice.
