In this talk I will examine how communities mobilize to resist urban development and how these dynamics shape the future of cities. I’ll discuss the factors that drive opposition to change, such as housing costs, community identity, and the perceived impacts on local character. By understanding these motivations, we can gain insights into the persistent challenges urban planners and policymakers face in building cities that balance progress with preservation.About Martin Vinæs LarsenMartin Vinæs Larsen is an Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science at Aarhus University.  His research focuses on understanding the politics of housing and local government. Martin was recently awarded a Semper Ardens: Accelerate Grant from the Carlsberg Foundation and a starting grant from the European Research Council to pursue this research. His work has been published in the American Political Science Review, the Journal of Politics and the British Journal of Political Science. VenueThe DIAS Auditorium, SDU Campus OdenseThis event is open for all.

The last two decades of the twentieth century witnessed a tremendous growth in global economic exchange. World exports exploded. The movement of capital across national boundaries was even more impressive. This globalization went hand in hand with the rise of a neoliberal order grounded “in the belief that market forces had to be liberated from government regulatory controls.” (Gerstle, Gary. The rise and fall of the neoliberal order: America and the world in the free market era. Oxford University Press, 2022:2.) The literature has emphasized that specific actors played a very important role in this neoliberal globalisation.The United States have been the primary driver of this phenomenon. Recent studies have also emphasized the role of other countries, such as France and Germany. International organisations, such as the World Bank, the IMF, the World Trade Organisation, as well as the United Nations, have also been influential by changing the rules of the architecture of global governance. Multinationals also promoted this neoliberal globalisation through their business activities and their lobbying campaigns on national governments and international organisation to accelerate the circulation of goods and capital. However, historiography has neglected the contribution of Business Interests Associations.My presentation will focus on the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in this neoliberal globalization. Established in 1920, the ICC became the preeminent international business association—a status it has maintained to the present day.  About Thomas DavidThomas David is Professor of Contemporary International History at the University of Lausanne. He was previously Dean of the College of Humanities at EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne.His research focuses on the actors shaping global capitalism in the 19th and 20th centuries, in particular economic elites and corporate networks. He is currently writing a book entitled “Business of the World, Unite! The International Chamber of Commerce and Global Capitalism in the Twentieth Century”. He is also working on a project with Ann-Kristin Bergquist (Uppsala University) on the role of business associations in international environmental governance from Stockholm (1972) to Kyoto (1997), focusing on sustainable development and climate change. He is also interested in Switzerland's global and colonial history in the 19th and 20th centuries.VenueThe DIAS Auditorium, SDU Campus OdenseThis event is open for all. No registration needed.

Despite the temporal distance, Italy and Germany have presently begun to recognize their ethical “implication” (Rothberg 2019) into their crimes of colonialism. The revival of these vital but marginalized memories challenges the core of these countries’ national identities contradicting the singularity of the Holocaust in Germany and the amnesia and embellishment of colonialism prevailing in Italy. This seminar explores the idea that German and Italian authors of postcolonial fiction and memory activists are two types of “memory entrepreneurs” (Pollak 1993), who by different means make Germany’s and Italy’s colonial crimes “memorable” (Rigney 2021) in the public sphere.In the seminar, leading experts of postcolonial literature and memory activists will present key authors of German and Italian postcolonial literature and memory activism focussing on the “Colonialism Remembrance Concept for the city of Berlin” that contests problematic urban spaces. Ultimately, the seminar will open a discussion about possible approaches to transnational and interdisciplinary research into colonialism.Sign up and programme: event.sdu.dk/colonialliteratureEveryone is welcome!

The brain relies on a diverse group of cells called GABAergic interneurons to maintain balance and regulate communication between neurons. These specialized cells play a crucial role in brain function, and when they don’t work properly, they have been linked to epilepsy and cognitive deficits in many neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders.Despite their importance, we are only beginning to understand how these cells develop, connect, and adapt. In this talk, I will share insights from our research on how interneurons form, how their numbers are controlled, and how they integrate into brain circuits to support healthy function.About Oscar MarínOscar Marín is a Professor of Neuroscience and Director of the MRC Centre for Neurodevelopmental Disorders and the Centre for Developmental Neurobiology at King’s College London.

Throughout the history of Western thought, the body has often been overlooked, devalued, or treated with mistrust and hostility. The failure to fully acknowledge human corporeality and its entanglement with the rest of nature is deeply connected to contemporary ecological crises, and has since the 1980s been subjected to a thorough-going critique by scholars across the humanities and social sciences. In this “corporeal turn,” Marx and the Marxist tradition has frequently been dismissed as irrelevant and outdated. In this talk, I will argue that Marx's writings on the body have been underestimated and that a critical reconstruction of his analysis, when combined with insights from recent Marxist feminist and eco-Marxist scholarship, can offer valuable perspectives on the relationship between the human body and the historically unique forms of impersonal domination that sustain capitalism and obstruct efforts to address the cascade of contemporary ecological crises.About Søren MauSøren Mau (b. 1989) finished his PhD in Philosophy in 2019 at the University of Southern Denmark and has since held postdoc positions at the University of Copenhagen, Goldsmiths University of London, and Aarhus University. His PhD dissertation was published as Mute Compulsion: A Marxist Theory of the Economic Power (Verso Books, 2023), which has been published in four languages, with three more forthcoming in 2025. His research focuses on critical theories of capitalism, power, the body, human nature, and utopian thought, with the central theme of freedom: its nature and sources, the political and economic barriers to its realization under contemporary capitalism, and its potential forms in a post-capitalist world.The lecture is organized by the Danish Institute for Advanced Study in collaboration with SDU’s Centre for Human Interactivity and Centre for Mobilizing Post-Anthropocentric Climate Action.VenueThe DIAS Auditorium, SDU Campus OdenseThis event is open for all.

Militaries increasingly utilise AI technologies (AIT) for decision support and combat operations. These developments point in the direction of a potential comprehensive integration of AIT into military decision-making processes. This makes it likely for such processes to be characterised by many situations of human-machine interaction, often described by militaries as human-machine teaming. Practices of human-machine interaction have the potential to profoundly alter the quality of human agency, understood as the ability to make choices and act, in warfare. Specifically, these practices shape forms of distributed agency in between humans and AIT. Current (Western) military thinking underestimates the comprehensive significance of human-AIT interaction patterns – and how these shape human decision-making spaces and the exercise of human agency.Such thinking takes human personnel and AIT as distinct, fundamentally complementary entities. In other words, human-AIT teaming allows militaries to benefit from the ‘best of both worlds’. But making decisions with AIT shapes and affects human decision-making spaces in both intentional and non-intentional ways. It follows that instances of human-AIT interaction can be associated with advantageous but also adverse consequences for the exercise of human agency. Distributed agency therefore needs to be recognised as raising foundational operational, ethical-normative, and legal challenges.About Ingvild BodeIngvild Bode is Professor of International Politics at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU).

There is increasing evidence that most scientific research does not meet standards of reproducibility and transparency. Concurrently, there are many efforts to improve the reproducibility, transparency, and eventually the credibility and usefulness of scientific evidence. Peer review is a central mechanism for vetting, correcting, and improving science. However, it has met with a broadening range of challenges, as 7 million papers are published every year, publication systems are over-commercialized, and reviewers are overfatigued. Many scholars argue that research assessment in general, if done properly for individuals and institutions, can be a major tool for enhancing research design, conduct, and outcomes. A central quest is whether proper incentives are provided and reinforced. Many ideas are proposed for changing peer review and research assessment, but few of them have solid evidence.About John P.A.

The democratic triumphalism of the 1990s has given way to a sense that democracy is in crisis – whether because it’s been hijacked by woke metropolitan elites, or because it’s being assailed by populist masses. In this context it’s arguably unhelpful to proceed from the premise that the meaning of democracy had been established, but is now failing because of bad actors (which is not to say that there aren’t bad actors around). To free our imaginations to find new ways forward, we should start by recognising that the meanings of democracy have always been contested, that predominant meanings have changed over time (and varied over space), and that democratic projects have often run into difficulties and had to be rethought. In this lecture I will draw on the findings of a long-running historical research project, ‘Re-imagining democracy’, which looks at the circumstances in which the ancient concept of democracy was ‘re-imagined’ for modern circumstances, from the era of the American and French revolutions. The project spans Europe and both Americas, focussing on a century in which the fortunes of the word were especially changeable and varied. I will try to give a flavour of how and why its meanings and associations varied and changed.About Joanna Innes Joanna Innes is Professor (emeritus) of Modern History at the University of Oxford. She was educated in Britain and the United States, and first employed at Oxford in 1982. Her early research focussed on social policy-making in England, often in a larger European context, initially focussing especially on punishment and poverty. She is now working on the emergence of new topics on the British parliamentary agenda in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, including health, education and working conditions. Her work focusses especially on policy-making processes, in a period in which the British government largely left the initiative to groups outside Parliament. The effect was that policy-making was fairly participatory, and the subject of public debate. Some of this work is collected in her volume Inferior Politics: Social Problems and Social Policies in Britain 1688-1800 (2009). For the past twenty years she has also collaborated with Mark Philp on an international project, Re-imagining Democracy (www.re-imaginingdemocracy.com ). This explores how the ancient concept of democracy was adapted to conceptualise modern problems and opportunities. The project has given rise to three collections of essays (2013, 2018, 2023 – details on the website).  A fourth and final volume, focussing on ‘central and northern Europe’ (including Nordic countries) is currently in train.VenueThe DIAS Auditorium, SDU Campus OdenseThis event is open for all.

In The Road to Freedom Nobel prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz dissects America’s current economic system and the political ideology that created it, laying bare their twinned failure. “Free” and unfettered markets have only succeeded in delivering a series of crises: the financial crisis, the opioid crisis, and the crisis of inequality. While a small portion of the population has amassed considerable wealth, wages for most people have stagnated. Free and unfettered markets have exploited consumers, workers, and the environment alike. Such failures have fed populist movements that believe being free means abandoning any obligations citizens have to one another. As they grow in strength, these movements now pose a real threat to true economic and political freedom.The Road to Freedom breaks new ground, showing how economics―including recent advances in which Stiglitz has played such an important role―reframes how to think about freedom and the role of the state in a twenty-first century society. Drawing on the work of contemporary philosophers, Stiglitz explains a deeper, more humane way to assess freedoms―one that considers with care what to do when one person’s freedom conflicts with another’s. We must reimagine our existing economic and legal systems and embrace forms of collective action, including regulation and investment, if we are to create an innovative society in which everyone can flourish.About Joseph E. StiglitzJoseph E. Stiglitz is an American economist and a professor at Columbia University. He is also the co-chair of the High-Level Expert Group on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress at the OECD, and the Chief Economist of the Roosevelt Institute. Stiglitz was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2001 and the John Bates Clark Medal in 1979. He is a former senior vice president and chief economist of the World Bank and a former chair of the U.S. Council of Economic Advisers. In 2000, Stiglitz founded the Initiative for Policy Dialogue, a think tank on international development based at Columbia University. In 2011 Stiglitz was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Known for his pioneering work on asymmetric information, Stiglitz's research focuses on income distribution, climate change, corporate governance, public policy, macroeconomics and globalization. He is the author of numerous books including, most recently, People, Power, and Profits, Rewriting the Rules of the European Economy, and Globalization and Its Discontents Revisited.
