Dr Josephine Previte’s research examines how marketing, services and technology shape people’s everyday lives, wellbeing and participation in society. Her work brings together social marketing, transformative service research and social entrepreneurship to examine how people experience complex systems, and how organisations can respond with more inclusive, ethical and effective forms of change.

Current projects extend this agenda through research on disability-inclusive services, homelessness, mission-led social entrepreneurship and changing alcohol cultures, including shifts toward low- and no-alcohol consumption. Across these projects, her research focuses on how people navigate complex systems and how organisations can design more responsive, equitable and human-centred interventions. Applied research is central to this agenda, bringing marketing insight to behaviour change and service-system challenges.

Her methodological expertise spans qualitative and mixed-method research, with a strong interest in alternative and innovative methodologies. This includes expertise in using Q methodology, videography, digital and technology-enabled research approaches, and interpretive designs that reveal the complexity of people’s lives.

Dr Saphira Rekker is a Senior Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Sustainable Finance and an ARC DECRA Fellow at The University of Queensland Business School. She holds a PhD in Finance and is internationally recognised for her work on corporate climate performance measurement and the development of science-based emissions reduction methodologies.

Saphira’s research focuses on building robust tools to measure, verify, and benchmark the credibility of corporate decarbonisation actions and commitments. She is widely regarded for her expertise in carbon-budget-based assessment frameworks and corporate climate benchmarking. During her 2019 secondment at Princeton University, she co-developed the Rapid Switch Australia project within Princeton’s global Rapid Switch initiative. She now leads the Carbon Budget Tracker, a collaborative platform linking researchers from UQ, Oxford, Princeton, LSE, and Utrecht to assess corporate and portfolio alignment with the Paris Agreement.

She also played a significant role in shaping the EU Climate Benchmarking Regulation, where her quantitative contribution remains a central component after multiple revisions. In addition, she advises on climate-related litigation, including work with the Environmental Defenders Office.

Her research is cross-disciplinary and published in leading academic journals including Nature Climate Change and Nature Communications. Her 2022 Nature Communications article attracted international attention and led to a collaboration with Norges Bank Investment Management, one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds, to evaluate steel-sector Paris alignment. Her recent Nature Climate Change Comment proposes “structured pluralism with budget compliance” as a way to strengthen corporate climate benchmarking practices. She maintains active collaborations with Oxford, Princeton, LSE, and Utrecht, as well as industry partners such as Fidelity, Ernst & Young, and NBIM.

Corinne seeks to understand the organizing practices and processes that gradually and invisibly create risks that can worsen over time to become catastrophic. These ‘insidious risks’ were the focus of Corinne’s PhD in the UQ Business School where she identified three ways, on a spectrum of ways these risks are managed: blinkered, law-abiding and attentive. With more than 30 years’ experience in the mining sector, government, consulting and research, Corinne built upon her earth sciences background in mine rehabilitation and closure to become a qualitative researcher through her PhD. This provided a new lens and insights on how organisations manage elongated insidious risks, not only for mine affected water and land disturbance in mining but also during the progressive failure of the insurance market for extreme weather, in her postdoctoral research. In a voluntary capacity Corinne formed and led an ISO standards working group to finalise ISO 24419 Managing Mining Legacies in 2023 providing the first international standard on this topic together with case studies and a bibliography. She represents AusIMM in her standards work. Since 2019 Corinne has been a Board Member of the Victorian Government’s Mine Land Rehabilitation Authority providing oversight for three brown coal mine closures in the Latrobe Valley. Prior to her PhD Corinne developed the field of research in managing abandoned/legacy mines in the Centre for Mined Land Rehabilitation, SMI following her Churchill Fellowship research in 2009.
