  2. 02“Waste and unoccupied” — how the law made land disappear
  3. 03The Community Land Act (2016) and what it opened
  4. 04The Ogiek judgement — historical injustice, modern remedy

Full session script coming.

The complete read-aloud script for this session — adapted from the source podcast episodes — is being finalised. In the meantime, the outline above is enough to run a first meeting: read a heading, discuss, move to the next.
