A trip to the theatre, these days, often involves additional purchase. Theatre merchandise (‘merch’) is sold in a related shop or kiosk, so that attending a performance might involve also buying a t-shirt, a mug, a toy, a CD. Some canny productions also ‘product place’ the merch in the production itself, meaning that material goods […]

When we hear that the United States is facing a health care provider shortage, the most common response is: We need more doctors. It sounds intuitive.

The United Nations Climate Conference (COP 31) will convene in Antalya, Turkey. Muslim-majority countries have hosted two recent COPs in Sharm el-Sheikh and Dubai and are now set to host in Antalya.
