BEHIND
THE
SCENES
OF
WILD
CULTURE
Lisa Wilson
Lisa Wilson has a degree in economics and is a member of the Economic Research Council. Past research has focused on defence, environmental and health economics and in these areas she is an active and strong advocate, often at the parliamentary level.
Her role in the development of The Journal of Wild Culture online cannot be underestimated, as she has been an important and generous supporter on the financial, management and editorial side. In London she is a key member of the editorial, administrative and the social enterprise teams where her unique and intuitive reading of how 'wild culture' can be embodied into a non-partisan political universe has a strong voice. A great lover of music, Lisa is also involved in live music and musical theatre production projects of various kinds.
