In response to Davos and the myth of a global conversationFebruary 5, 2026

Chandran Nair and global silent voices

I’ve heard Chandran Nair on radio, in person and have started reading his work.

He wrote a brilliant piece describing Davos as a true mirror of world order and global white privilege. It’s a beautiful piece of writing, and the type of thing that I would ask students to read in a social science course to understand – silenced voices, alternative perspectives. So pleased to come upon his article in Pearls and Irritations. Thank you.
