Welcome back! This weeks article in focus is brought to us by Kavian Kulasabanathan, written in conversation with Prentis Hemphill, author of ‘What it Takes to Heal: How Transforming Ourselves Can Change the World’.Kavian is an Eela-Tamil physician focused on state violence as a determinant of poor health. From this starting point, he is interested in uses of the collective imagination, community-led and -owned models of care and place-making in journeying toward abolitionist, collectively liberated futures.
