The latest @sociologicalreview.bsky.social Magazine issue is out and it’s about ‘Waste’. It offers a range of reflections on waste, wasting away, and wasted lives, thinking about gender, race and capitalism.
Wasted goods, wasted lives: our #TSRWaste issue, edited by @asiyaislam.bsky.social , draws on thinkers from Françoise Vergès to Zygmunt Bauman to take a closer look at food apps, sanitation workers and fishing communities, floods of fast fashion in Ghana, and much more.

Caste aside: the Gandharva community – once the performing artists of Nepal – now carry out the stigmatised job of cleaning up in the tourism capital of Pokhara.
