How to be a Citizen - breaking rules to fix them
Societies have rules to stop them from descending into chaos - at least that's what Constitutional scholar Cindy Skach used to believe. Her career was spent advising governments and writing constitutions to help fix society in some of the most fractured, war-torn corners of the world. That was until 2009, when she survived a missile attack while in Iraq helping to revise the constitution - an event that changed her thinking on how societies function. In her book How to Be a Citizen, Skach calls to move beyond constitutions, inviting us to see society not as something imposed by law, but rather something we create together.
