Transitions: Sita Balani and Jay Bernard

In Transitions, the latest title in MACK’s ‘Discourse’ series, writers Sita Balani and Jay Bernard draw on literature, social theory, and lived experience to offer an urgent account of our fractured present. Their dialogue takes in Britain’s colonial past, the advent of AI and the legacy of extractive capitalism to ask the urgent question: what does it mean to be human in a political culture determined to devalue the Humanities? Their conversation was chaired by Sana Goyal, editor of Wasafiri.
