ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
We are beset by global crises. They didn't arise in a vacuum, and the coronavirus pandemic only compounds other crises like anti-black and anti-indigenous racism, climate change, extreme inequality, authoritarianism and surveillance. Is there a way out? Can law make a difference?
