Randika Jayasinghe is a second-year Ph.D. student at the School of Environmental Systems Engineering, University of Western Australia. She is an AusAID Leadership Awards Scholar, working towards developing poverty reducing solutions for sustainable waste management in Sri Lanka. Randika has carried out many projects in the waste management sector in Sri Lanka and is interested in studying how social and environmental justice principles can be integrated into waste management in developing countries. Usman Mushtaq is interested in issues at the intersection of justice, technology, and engineering. He recently finished with his academic work and is delving into the professional world. He is particularly interested in looking at how the public is consulted and engaged in decision-making around engineering projects and environmental impact assessments. Toni Smythe studied environmental engineering at the University of Western Australia and became involved inWaste for Life through her final year thesis,which assessed the feasibility of a new project in Sri Lanka. She is currently working for the Department of Water, Perth, within the surface water hydrology team. Caroline Baillie is Chair of Engineering Education for the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics at the University of Western Australia. Caroline is particularly interested in ways in which science and engineering can help to create solutions for the environment as well as social problems. She is Editor of the Morgan and Claypool series, 'Engineers,TechnologyandSociety,' and Director of the Australian program (funded by the Office of Learning and Teaching) "Engineering Education for Social and Environmental Justice" of which this book is a part.
