Tema Milstein

Tema Milstein's work examines issues that are deeply important to how we exist in the world today and into the future. Her focus is on the different cultural meaning systems that shape our ecological understandings, identities, and actions, and on the ways we create a destructive status quo or bring about restorative transformation. She is Professor of Environment and Society at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, and co-founder of (Daily) Delight~Disrupt, a global culture upgrade project for people to reconnect with each other and places they care about, leaving both better off. Before moving to Australia, she lived in the United States and taught at the University of New Mexico. Her first career, before becoming an academic, was as a print journalist.
