We open this space to discuss ideas to create new pathways for harmony between society, the economy, and the environment. Sparked by current events, we hope these ideas will influence better understanding and approaches to policy-making. We have a range of professional backgrounds (social sciences and development) and invite voices from all experiences and perspectives. At The Turn Left, we need equal input from all fields regardless of race, class, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual identity, ableism or any other obstacle to achieve that harmony we envision. https://www.theturnleft.org/index.php/who-we-are daily 0.75 2018-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac285ec4cde7a39dab2ece5/1523818975700-62NMLO9V48C844QEWL6W/Two+bikes+near+Wat+Khok+Muang Who We Are - WE ARE an Activist and an Anthropologist who decided to take matters into our own hands. We also realized however, that it is not just about what you do but how you do it, so we are taking matters into our own hands CAREFULLY; with attention to balance of perspectives, backgrounds, and disciplines. Myriam is a mentor, educator, and writer with over 7 years in public service in the US and abroad. Sandra is an anthropologist based in the UK with 3 years experience in development. Based in two different countries, we realize the importance of opening dialogue where different voices can seek solutions that benefit everyone. https://www.theturnleft.org/articles daily 0.75 2018-09-24 https://www.theturnleft.org/read-me-om daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5052176b84aeb45fa5cfcc83/1377097104716-HDI53XJVV0DKZ24A3T68/51e453dee4b06abd3403c22e.png Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5052176b84aeb45fa5cfcc83/1377096775448-0L7B4Q54H1VLOGFF1DPR/synthetica+%2820130821%29.jpg Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5052176b84aeb45fa5cfcc83/1377096507573-1MU42OOOOGIM9URAJ9D9/515c4225e4b0afec1218b21e.png Read Me https://www.theturnleft.org/classes-alt-om daily 0.75 2025-05-12
