In this issue we question what change actually asks of us, and how change happens. As we imagine and inhabit different ways of living and being with the other-than-human world, we must embrace the new and rediscover what has always been real: our dependence on this animate Earth.

It is easy to imagine change as something that begins somewhere else. It’s harder to recognise that it also asks something of us: that we loosen our grip on familiar ways of living. 

The theme pieces in this issue explore how systems change, how stories shape transformation, how power can be reclaimed through citizenship and participation, and how new futures begin long before they become the norm. Together they remind us that while change is inevitable, the form it takes remains an open question.

 

Kate Raworth and Jeremy Lent ask, what if humanity’s greatest strength is not competition, but cooperation? In Connected Life, Abby Rose reflects on how telling the stories of farmers over ten years has helped reveal an emerging food system, and Melissa Harrison’s latest novel uses fiction to mirror the interconnected lives in the English countryside.
