Issue #54

With the Olympics in Tokyo coming to an end today, not all is said and done. As some athletes have come forward to denounce sexism and mental abuse, Friederike Sandow writes on the lows of this year’s Olympics, while Lisa O’Leary reflects on what needs to change for mental health to be taken serious. And there is more: Dominik Barabasi kicks off a series on the current situation in Hungary, and Nichole Wanjirũ gives us a very personal account on institutional racism. With an eye on the future, Jessica Verheij questions what’s behind the 2021 EU Year of Rail, and Jurek Wötzel imagines how it would be to live in a world with competent and trustworthy politicians.
