Program of the workshop, Interrogating Change: Central Asia between Timelessn...Encyclopaedia Iranica
This workshop revisits the academic compartmentalization that has characterized studies of Central Eurasia by re-imagining this region as an experientially interconnected sphere of commonalities and convergences transcending national borders and conventional disciplinary boundaries. The organizers envision a novel topography of nineteenth and twentieth century Central Eurasia as a distinct space at once Islamic and Asian. Such a configuration opens up new possibilities for conceptualizing the region as an integral participant in a broader landscape incorporating the Middle East, South Asia, China, and Russia. In bringing together a variety of scholars with different expertise in the study of Central Asia, this workshop revisits longstanding scholarly boundaries and explores how Central Asian Studies can offer unique contributions to broader debates in the humanities and social sciences.

Royal Institution: Investing As If The Long Term MattersDr Raj Thamotheram
This document discusses issues related to long-term investing and sustainability. It notes growing inequality, extremism, climate change risks, and loss of confidence in politics and corporate governance failures. It argues the current system is overly intermediated and dysfunctional, with short-term incentives and irrational theories. Investors are seen as enabling these issues by primarily caring about short-term returns. The document calls for treating these issues by focusing companies and investors on long-term wealth creation, fiduciary capitalism, and taking urgent action on sustainability in line with limiting warming to 2 degrees Celsius.

3) For tourism to benefit Orkney, it requires cooperation across sectors to spread visitors out, manage popular sites, and ensure tourism revenues improve livelihoods and protect natural and cultural heritage for the long term. The future of tourism in Ork
The workshop leader leads players through the Russian party game “Mafia” created in the USSR by Dimitry Davidoff in 1986, modeling a battle between an informed minority (the mafia) and an uninformed majority (the townspeople). Players are secretly assigned roles: mafia, who know each other, a doctor, a cop and also townspeople, who know only the number of mafia amongst them. In the game's night phase the mafia covertly 'murder' a townsperson. During the day phase, all of the surviving players debate the identities of the mafia and vote to eliminate a suspect. Play continues until all of the mafia has been eliminated, or until the mafia outnumbers the townspeople. As the game is played, players will discover their non-verbal communication skills, teamwork skills and also their observation skills.
