While very broad and deep topics, this makes for a varied audience of interest that includes not just the...

In so doing, it questions capitalist understandings of order and disorder, of health and disease, and the new world borders which proliferate...

The premise is simple: three people – a 'triangle' – meet on a regular basis, digitally or in person, to focus on the physical, mental and social health of a...
