    In The Throes Of Uneven Gains

    On Unwell Women, Male Entitlement And Their Visionary Wokeness

    A Woman’s body… piece by piece, inch by inch, navigated, investigated, desecrated! From the sacrilegious murder of the Greco-Egyptian philosopher, astronomer and one of the first female mathematicians, Hypatia, on the streets of Alexandria by the parabalani – a volunteer militia of monks serving as the archbishop’s henchmen –...

    Editorial: Ramblings of a digital, armchair warrior

    Sitting thousands of miles away in a land of privilege and safety, one might easily be labeled an armchair digital warrior. Taking refuge and solace (perhaps) in the cliché, pen is mightier than the sword, an attempt must be made to find some semblance of sanity during these dark,...

    On Media, Citizen Engagement & Alternate Digital Social Spaces

    The digital realm has played a pivotal role in how we create, ‘interact’ with and amplify the written word. From Gutenberg to computers and the Internet, each has been instrumental in not just building pathways to knowledge, enabling the reader to think and be informed, much to the dismay...
