2022: Reckoning With Power and Privilege is a collection of The Conversation's most insightful essays from leading thinkers, explaining the potent forces that continue to shape our world - the winding back of abortion rights in the US, relations redefined in the Pacific, the UK Prime Minister forced to resign - and how those with the privilege of power don't always prevail. Here is the inside guide to 2022's momentous events, bookended by the brutal invasion of Ukraine and a new head of the Commonwealth (not forgetting Shane Warne's sudden death, the wrapping up of Neighbours, and the rise of TikTok), written by the experts you can trust. Contributors include: Bronwyn Carlson Jacob Deem Prudence Flowers Michelle Grattan Matthew Horney Peter Martin Denis Muller Kate Power Chris Wallace Hugh White Zora Simic Tim Soutphommasane Paul Strangio Ariadne Vromen
