Human Rights at Sea: Problems and Prospects
With 70% of the Earth’s surface covered by the seas and oceans but most of that space beyond the territory of states, there is something of a jurisdictional vacuum when it comes to Human Rights, which states are under an obligation to provide for, to protect and to fulfil. Who monitors compliance with Human Rights standards at sea? Who has responsibility for enforcing those standards? How great a problem is this and what are the prospects for the establishment of the ‘rule of law’ at sea?
Multidimensional Poverty and Children in Punjab, Pakistan
This paper compares a national multidimensional poverty index (MPI) with child disaggregation of that same MPI, and then with an individual-level child MPI, which uses age-specific indicators covering the cycle of childhood, to assess the convergence and value-added of these different measurement approaches empirically. It focuses on Punjab Province in Pakistan. In 2016, the Government of Pakistan launched an official national MPI, covering 15 indicators across the dimensions of education, health, and standard of living, and provided estimations disaggregated to the district level.

Replacing Europe? The Importance of India, Violence and Global Political Thought
What's in a name? The classical Greek and Jewish diasporas and implications for the present
This seminar will take the form of a dialogue between Robin Cohen and Manolis Pratsinakis, chaired by Renée Hirschon. The story starts with an obscure scholarly debate about whether the expression 'the Greek Diaspora' can be applied to the early colonies in southern Italy and Sicily (Magna Graecia) or (for example) the settlements around the Black Sea. A 'war of the footnotes' emerged as the use of this denotation was vigorously contested by religious scholars and those interested in historical semantics.
