10 years after dark pools of derivatives contributed to the Great Recession, former Commodity Futures Trading Commissioner Sharon Bowen tells Kate & Luigi how she helped bring transparency to the market and visited a few grain silos along the way.

Contributor(s): Dr Ganga Shreedhar, David Shukman | Sea levels are rising, carbon emissions are increasing and deforestation is continuing at an alarming rate. Human created climate change is drastically reshaping life on earth, with up to 75% of the diversity of the species on our planet on their way to becoming extinct.
This month, LSE iQ asks: How can we survive the next mass extinction? We'll discuss the dangers of greenwashing, what it's like to witness an environmental catastrophe and how we can change our behaviour to benefit the planet.
Anna Bevan talks to: Dr Ganga Shreedhar, Assistant Professor in LSE's Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science, and Associate at the Grantham Research Institute of Climate Change and the Environment and the Inclusion Initiative; and former BBC Science Editor, and now Visiting Professor in Practice at the Grantham Research Institute, David Shukman.

Die Übung "Klasse – Rasse – Masse: Lebt die Demokratie vom Ausschluss?" fand im Wintersemester 2020/21 als digitale Lehrveranstaltung an der Universität Regensburg statt und richtete sich an fortgeschrittene Bachelorstudierende des Fachs Politikwissenschaft sowie Masterstudierende der Demokratiewissenschaft. Ziel der Übung war es, ausgehend von den Protesten der Black-Lives-Matter-Demonstrationen, Race und Class in der politischen Theorie und Ideengeschichte, aber auch in zeitgenössischen Debatten und gesellschaftlichen Phänomenen zu analysieren. Hierbei kamen neben Texten von Locke, Kant und Tocqueville sowie Basistexten zu Rassismus, Klassismus und Intersektionalität auch ein Theaterstück, Podcasts, journalistische Texte, Hörbuchsequenzen, Beiträge aus den sozialen Medien und Songtexte/Musikvideos zum Einsatz, um eine methodisch und inhaltlich möglichst breite Perspektive auf das Thema zu gewährleisten.

I recommend Vincent Bevins' recently published The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade & the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World. It starts with an extended discussion of Indonesia and then looks at how Suharto's brutality (the word "Jakarta" became a synonym for mass political murder) was copied elsewhere, with the U.S. government deeply involved everywhere. He uses interviews with those who suffered (and often emigrated) to show how people were affected and felt at the time.From my perspective as a Latin Americanist, the book's global perspective makes it especially interesting. Events in one part of the world affect others. Revolutionaries and reactionaries alike are reading the news, and trying to glean lessons. Che Guevara and Fidel Castro famously decided from the 1954 Guatemala invasion that the electoral path was suicidal, but Indonesians were learning from Central America too. We know the U.S. government viewed Latin America in global terms, but we talk far less about how places like Indonesia resonated. Because of language barriers, those of us who study Latin America don't tend to do fieldwork in Asia.The 1960s-1980s in particular was a time of wanton anti-communist slaughter. It was calculated, strategic, and entirely supported by the U.S. government. As he notes, the living carry psychological scars with them, and in Indonesia people still do not feel comfortable discussing it. Those labeled "communist" are still stigmatized, unlike Latin America where they're even becoming presidents of countries. Using the stories from this interviews, he traces the shift from hope and pride during the Sukarno government to fear after Suharto took over and killed roughly a million people.Although it's not really a theme of the book, his interviews also show the global migratory impact of mass murder. His interviews, which are in different continents, show people fleeing in all directions, not even necessarily settling in the first country that will take them. I always talk about this in the Central American context in my U.S.-Latin American relations class. But I also lived it while being entirely ignorant of the causes at the time--Bevins mentions the so-called "boat people," some of whom ultimately ended up in the public schools I attended.If there is an overarching political lesson in the book, sadly it is that mass murder worked amazingly well for U.S. political elites. The Cold War was "won" by preserving global capitalism and asserting U.S. hegemony. The average person in the United States is considerably wealthier than most people on the planet. And they are either unaware or uncaring about the violence that contributed to getting them there. Subscribe in a reader

The first efforts to cooperate in matters of asylum and migration at the European level can be mainly attributed to the mass inflow of asylum seekers during the late 1980s and early 1990s, following the end of the Cold War and the collapse of communist regimes in Eastern Europe. As an initial response to the […]

Is the world better off now that Elon Musk owns Twitter? The $44 billion acquisition is the largest leveraged buyout of a technology company in history, and also the first time in well over a decade that the ownership of a global social media platform has changed hands. It also begs the evergreen question that this podcast explores: Is the saga an example of Capital-Is or Isn't?

Bethany and Luigi debate and discuss the many different aspects of the deal: how Musk might be forced to run Twitter as a traditional business even if he initially claimed otherwise, his content moderation experiments to prevent it from becoming a "free-for-all hellscape", the effects of mass layoffs, and much more.

In 1964, political scientist Philip Converse published one of the most citied papers in the discipline: "The nature of belief systems in mass publics". It attempted to define just how consistent and sophisticated are the political beliefs of the American public.

In our current moment, when democracy seems in the balance of an ideologically polarized society, it's hard to think of paper with more relevance. But how accurate is it, and how has the paper itself pushed political science, creating a feedback loop, to focus on particular questions instead of others?

The podcast is going to try something different this week. We're going to look back at this foundational paper, discuss its implications for today, and investigate how it has shaped political science.

Creating an efficient and effective system for communicating with your now remote team.
Remember all of those meetings that could’ve been emails? Well, now most of them are all emails.And now, the question is: How’re you keeping your team engaged with all those mass emails?Many offices and businesses are turning to platforms such as Outlook or a webmail app to communicate with their employees now spread across towns, cities, and states. This solution may seem simple and effective at first. However, as you settle into this new way of working, you may find after a few weeks, holes appearing in this email pipeline.…
