As 2022 unfolded, we saw power manifest in its various guises: Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine in February 2022; the COVID pandemic and its international disruptions continued to shape lives globally and abortion laws changed monumentally in the US. In Australia, the power of voters changed the government after almost a decade of growing frustration with politics-as-usual. Debate continued about enshrining a First Nations Voice to Parliament, and there was the power of sporting legends such as the late, great Shane Warne to unite us all.

2022: Reckoning With Power and Privilege is a collection of The Conversation's most insightful essays from leading thinkers, explaining how and why these potent forces continue to shape our world, and how those with the privilege of power don't always prevail.
