Nina, ein Teenager, der ein turbulentes Leben führt, beginnt, in der Nähe des Hauses ihrer abwesenden Eltern Sexarbeit zu verrichten. Sie gerät in eine dunkle, sadomasochistische Beziehung mit einem Paar, was zu ihrer Festnahme und anschließenden Aufnahme in eine psychiatrische Einrichtung führt, wo sie noch härteren Realitäten gegenübersteht. Die Erzählung, die in einem emotionalen Fugenstatus verfasst ist, offenbart eine scharfe und aufschlussreiche Perspektive auf Trauma und Kontrolle. Dieses bewegende Werk wurde posthum als bedeutender queerer Text anerkannt und hebt das Talent seiner Autorin hervor, die für ihre einzigartige Stimme gefeiert wird.

Ravi Menon is the Institute of Policy Studies' 9th S R Nathan Fellow for the Study of Singapore. This book is an edited collection of his four IPS-Nathan Lectures, delivered in July 2021, and includes highlights of his question-and-answer segments with our virtual audience. Mr Menon examines how Singapore will come under pressure from four tectonic shifts altering the global landscape. Although still relevant, Singapore's guiding ethos of adaptation, meritocracy, and pragmatism may no longer be sufficient. To secure our future, we will need more innovation, inclusion, and inspiration. What does an innovative economy look like? What does it take to create a more inclusive society? What does it mean to be an inspiring nation? How does it all hold together in a refreshed Singapore Synthesis? The IPS-Nathan Lecture series was launched in 2014 as part of the S R Nathan Fellowship for the Study of Singapore. It seeks to advance public understanding and discussion of issues of critical national interest for Singapore.

Luke William Hunt is a philosophy professor and former FBI Special Agent. In Police Deception and Dishonesty, he evocatively illustrates how the police's widespread use of proactive deception and dishonesty is inconsistent with fundamental norms of political morality. Drawing on his experience, a range of literature, and case studies regarding interrogations, undercover operations, pretextual detentions, and other common scenarios, Hunt makes a compelling case that many proactive tactics erode public faith in the police institution and weaken the police's legitimacy.
