Better Worlds Theory
Better Worlds Theory is home to essays on media literacy, literature, and news analysis. The focus is global humanist, and the first three posts each week are free to read.
Who is M L Clark?
I’ve been a published writer of science fiction for over a decade, and a writer of humanist essays and news analysis for the last few. My background in PhD-level studies involved literary histories of science, with a strong helping of historiography, and built off an undergrad in political science. Although I had to leave the PhD programme with my dissertation finished but undefended, my ongoing education as a Canadian in Colombia (yes, the country) has given me an altogether different outlook on the social contracts we inhabit, and the importance of global humanism.
In other words: I bring a wide range of exposure sets to everything I write.
Join me for Monday Media Review, in which we use a film, TV series, book, or similar cultural item to reflect on a key aspect of life today.
Then, on Tough Times Tuesday, we look at global events to gain greater insight on how to manage our current crises.
On Rewind Wednesday, we explore a facet of history (sometimes through literature) to reframe our expectations and approach to the present.
For paid subscribers, Thorough Thursday then offers a deeper reflection on a matter of media literacy, world events, history, or social contract theory.
Thank you so much for your support of the work: whether it be through reading, commenting, sharing, and/or upgrading your subscription. It all makes a difference, and I hope the coming work continues to merit your investment, too.
