Ramona Fotiade is a Senior Lecturer in French at the University of Glasgow.

Her book publications on this topic include: Conceptions of the Absurd. From Surrealism to the Existential Thought of Shestov and Fondane (2001), The Tragic Discourse: Shestov's and Fondane's Existential Thought (2006), and Léon Chestov et Vladimir Jankélévitch: du tragique à l'ineffable (2011).

David Jasper is a Professor of Literature and Theology at the University of Glasgow and the author of highly original interdisciplinary works that seek to articulate a postmodern theology incorporating views ranging from those of the earliest Christian theologians (the Fathers of the Desert, such as St Anthony) to the conception of the writers on the 'deserts' of the modern world, both geographical and interior. His recent publications include: The Sacred Desert (2004), The Sacred Body (2009) and The Sacred Community (2012).
