In this issue, we present stories about the ways in which Western research has changed lives — from providing transportation solutions for women in rural Zimbabwe to creating a digital agrifood ecosystem for farmers in Sri Lanka. 

We also present stories of significance closer to home and celebrate the outstanding literary success of Distinguished Professor Alexis Wright. Read about her award-winning collective memoir Tracker, which won the Stella Prize in 2018. This year, Distinguished Professor Wright became the first author to win the Stella Prize twice – with her latest novel Praiseworthy named as the 2024 winner.
