How did farmers become so invisible?: Wknd interviews sociologist Maryam Aslany (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a quiet war underway, and the ripple effects show up in your pantry. How did blueberries get there? Why is chocolate fading? At the root of these questions are so many others: What is the true role of land; where should water go; how should we best juggle our need for space, forests, cities and farms? Over and over, as we tussle with these questions, it is the farmer who ends up with less. Less water, land, attention, revenue… certainty. How did a role this vital become so sidelined? Fo
Work, ageing, Sheldon Cooper: Wknd interviews award-winning theoretical physicist Deepak Dhar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Until a few decades ago, natural disasters were thought of as anomalies; freak occurrences that one could at best prepare for, but not predict. The laws of probability didn’t seem to work here. When it came to certain systems — storms, earthquakes, meteors — there was too much at play; too many layers, each one too complex and shaped by too many variables. Who could model or account for that? An answer emerged in the 1980s. A 39-year-old Danish theoretical physicist, Per Bak, came up with someth
Liberalism cannot survive without shared prosperity: Wknd talks to Nobel-winning economist Daron Acemoglu (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Part of what makes Daron Acemoglu exceptional, as an economist, is the scale of the questions he is willing to ask. Much of his research sits at the intersection of economics, history and politics. Why do some nations prosper while others do not? How are institutions formed, what makes some of them “good”, and how do they affect prosperity? In 2024, he won a Nobel Prize, alongside fellow economists Simon Johnson and James A Robinson, for their work on how institutions shape prosperity, and how t
Unpacking secrets of the Indian Ocean: Mahmood Kooria discusses his new book (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a bit of a problem with how we study history, says Mahmood Kooria, and it’s limiting what we see. We tend to study what happened on land. But most of the planet is water. And some of this water served as “highways of exchange”, where people met, interacted, traded, invented, sought new horizons and built their fortunes. The story of a place and its people changes when one factors in the seas around them, Kooria says. This is particularly true of India. What we now know as the Indian Ocea
I write for children who feel invisible, says Patrice Lawrence, UK’s new children’s laureate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Patrice Lawrence knows what it’s like to feel as if the world has no place in it for you. As a child, she spent four years in foster care, raised by a White working-class family until her mother could reclaim her. There were few people of colour in her school. Even the books she loved and escaped into offered little resonance. These were all stories about White people, with Black people mocked, derided and at the fringes, when they appeared at all. “I always felt different… acknowledging that st
