Right Here, Right Now: Climate Change in Brazil

Climate change is not only a problem of futurity, changing the planet and ways of life for generations to come. From fires to floods, droughts to storms, the impacts of climate-driven weather events are evident and experienced right now, in different forms around the globe.

Please join us for a roundtable conversation about this year's flooding in Brazil and how climate change is affecting the country.

Edward Routh

I am a first-year student studying for the MPhil in International Relations and a member of Brasenose College. My research primarily focuses on disobedience among Sub-Saharan African political elites in regard to Structural Adjustment Programmes in the 1980s, investigating the 'poverty of imagination' within International Financial Institutions in that period and the factors that both constrained and facilitated African strategies of avoidance.

Insider Threats & Foreign Malign Influence, from Detection to Elimination

This talk examines the rising threat of foreign malign influence and insider threats across sectors, with a focus on their impact within academic institutions. Hostile actors increasingly target academia to access sensitive research, influence intellectual narratives, and gain technological advantages. Through tactics like insider recruitment and propaganda to sow discord, these threats endanger national security and research integrity. The presentation will explore strategies to mitigate these risks, including vetting, transparency in partnerships, and compliance with national requirements.
