"TMYS Review with its focus on the personal and the contemporary, is both local and global in its relevance and impact. Now when the climate crisis can no longer be ignored and as we see the effects of a devastating pandemic, the debates encouraged and showcased by TMYS, underscore the urgency of facilitating thought and dialogue led by young scholars and writers who will shape our future, and see them translated into positive action. TMYS is witness to history in the making, validating the significance of individual stories, experiences and research that form the fabric of human society and embrace the planet."
