Dane Duncan Mills: Whilst I have noticed my identity seems to shift across diff erent geographical, relational and spiritual spaces, I identify as a northern white gay man, with strong working class roots. I am an aspiring Buddhist. I have trained as a clinical psychologist, with a special interest in community and liberation psychology. I hope to take an active trans ally role. My prefered pronouns are he/him/his.

Maria Castro Romero: I am a senior lecturer and academic tutor in clinical psychology at the University of East London. I have had a long history as a narrative and community psychologist, advocate, researcher, writer and trainer. I have a commitment to creative and collaborative narrative and liberation praxis with minorities and other historically and still today largely marginalised groups, people who seek help or use mental health services, their families and communities, to construct humanising alternatives refl ective and respectful of the pluralistic societies in which we live; a psychology for social inclusion and equality.
Jesse Ashman: I currently work for the Gendered Intelligence speaker’s programme and volunteer as a youth worker. I’ve previously worked with other LGBT organisations and as a mental health support worker. I use he/him pronouns and am bisexual, trans, polyamorous, white, working class, dyslexic, dyspraxic, able- bodied and have recently moved to London after living most of my life in Essex. I was involved with the Theatre of Life in helping design the project and facilitating the sessions.
