**Meet the editor**

Dr. Ingrid Muenstermann is a retired academic, affiliated with Flinders University of South Australia, College of Nursing and Health Sciences. As an adjunct, she presently teaches *Critical Social Analysis of Health, Health Practitioner Practice 1* and *Health Practitioner Practice 2.*  Before Ingrid became an academic, she worked in several secretarial positions in Germany and in Australia.

After migrating to Australia, she undertook university studies on a parttime basis and was awarded a PhD degree in 1997. After many sessional contracts, between 2004 and 2013, she established an academic career at Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga, New South Wales. The position provided a good grasp of social inequalities, a special interest of hers. Ingrid's research interests vary greatly. She started off with an interest in multiculturalism and immigration; health and mental health were the next area of interest, followed by issues relating to rurality, the environment and renewable energy. Editing the books *Some Personal Stories of German Immigration to Australia since 1945* (2015) and *People's Movements in the 21st Century, Risks, Challenges and Benefits* (2017) took her back to issues of immigration. The book on *Social Responsibility* is different; it takes a critical look at issues of accountability in capitalist, market-driven societies in the twenty-first century.
