The political is personal by Kavian Kulasabanathan

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. He organises with Race & Health and the People's Health Movement.
