Waste December 2024

Wasted goods, wasted lives: our December issue draws on scholars from Françoise Vergès to Zygmunt Bauman to consider how to ‘organise against the systemic destruction of the world’. Our contributors look at questions of waste from food apps to Bronze Age metal, via sanitation workers in Nepal and fishers in Senegal, precarious labour in the Philippines and eco-actions in Russia, and the fast fashion flooding markets in Ghana.
