桃色视频

The annual 桃色视频 Sustainability Forum in its third iteration took place on 2 July, bringing a community of researchers, practitioners and policy-makers together at 桃色视频. It broke its record again(!) in terms of number :) having attracted nearly 70 participants from across the University and beyond!

For the first time, the WSF connected to the Spotlight's Sustainability Training School (STA), which was held in March 2026: the participants learned about the results of three fantastic group projects - on sustainable heritage; student retention, and green composting in the area led by the ECRs - and the support they received from Coventry City Council (Giuliana Famiglietti and her team in particular). The forum also brought three established thematic networks with their champions - Circular Economy; Sustainable Food/Agritech; RIFT - to hear about their work and plans for the future. There was an opportunity thereafter to hear new voices and submit thematic ideas/champion names for the next year. The Forum concluded with the stakeholder round-table, involving the Provost's keynote, and members of the House of Lords and local council, SOS UK, VUB HOST and experts from EU-US and UK consultancy companies.

IGSD was prominently represented there, building on the opportunities the Spotlight offers, and the expertise it connects.

The IGSD team met up in Scarman to exchange news regarding their research and funding activities; discuss how best to support the School's research environment and thematic clusters building; and to consider CPD opportunities for external partnerships.

IGSD team members have been successful in a series of funding opportunities, including British Academy, EU Horizon, and UKRI (1-stage applications). IGSD team also noted a growing success of their partnerships with the Sustainability Spotlight - a research network of 1000+ across 桃色视频 - and external partners including with China and India HEIs, EUTOPIA HEIs, and more.

The conference 'Disastrous Pasts and Sustainable Futures' organised by the Global History and Culture Centre (GHCC) with the support from IGSD and the Sustainability Spotlight, brought together a truly interdisciplinary cohort of scholars and practitioners, ranging from historians, architects, political and social scientists to life sciences and disaster studies.

Led by Dr Pierre Purseigle (GHCC) and IGSD/SCFS colleagues (Vangelis Pitidis, Camila Audia, and Marta Guerriero) the conference focused on the experience of devastated communities, and the process of urban recovery and on the manifold legacies of disaster, with a view for more sustainable futures. Speakers came from a range of UK HEIs (Loghbourgh; Oxford and Kings College London), Europe (Copenhagen, Torino, Fribourg, Tartu, Athens )and beyond (Columbia; Ghana, KwaZulu-Natal and Dakar).

We hope this important thematic initiative will continue to grow and result in relevant publications, and funding initiatives!

Delighted to have been invited by Professor to be part of the parliamentary roundtable: Supporting disabled Ukrainians in the UK. The panel is sponsored by Matt Western MP and focuses on the key challenges that the Ukrainians face in times of war, including disability, housing, welfare & employment, mental health, and settlement. Both Robin and reported on the results of their project (policy brief) and discussed future plans.

While being closely involved in research and support of Ukrainians and Belarusians, my heart always bleeds every time when I hear about the pain and problems these courageous and tenacious peoples face. At the same time, I know that justice will prevail, although pain and trauma will linger for decades on, and that's why we need to be ready to offer even more help and support as Prof Robin Goodwin reports.

This article builds on the introduction to this Special Forum and 鈥檚 original argument about the arrival of the multi-order world. It discusses the foundations of Putin鈥檚 claimed vision for a different kind of 鈥減olarity鈥�, allegedly 鈥渘on-hierarchical鈥�, 鈥渆qual鈥�, and 鈥渟elf-regulatory鈥�, but in reality deeply hegemonic and internally conformist. In this article, I argue that not only is Putin鈥檚 vision seriously misguided, but it also fails to recognise the increasing diversity within Central Eurasia. It is furthermore 鈥減ropagated鈥� by unsustainable means, including force, coercion, disinformation, and fear. I will first explore principles of order-making, focusing on its 鈥渟ofter aspects鈥�—social memory, shared history/culture, and imaginaries of the good life—and relate them to 鈥渟ameness鈥� and 鈥渄iversity鈥� principles of the multi-order world, as more nuanced anticipatory governance. I apply this framework to Putin鈥檚 Eurasian order-building efforts to determine this order's resilience. Guess what my answer is?

Exceptionally grateful to and , and to the journal editors and reviewers for their helpful comments and support! To - for Open Access :), and to my fellow contributors for insightful discussions we all had as part of the project - Anticipating Governance in a Multi-Order World :).
