WHO DECIDES WHEN SOMETHING HAS ENDED? How do different ideas of the end reproduce pre-existing structural inequalities? What would a focus on after the end of events mean for the way we think about time? Prof. Patricia Kingori TORCH | The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities John F Kennedy BSc FIDM Dip DigM The After the End project is an ambitious, multi-sited, long-term research project that involves a strong collaboration of interdisciplinary researchers from all over the world seeking to explore and understand different experiences of living through ends, living after the end, and equitable policies that take different ideas of ends and endings seriously.  Through surveys, in-depth interviews, archival research and historical and literary examinations we seek to distinguish between ‘ending’ and ‘closure’ and counter dominant narratives of the end which make the pain, suffering and experiences of the least powerful invisible.https://https://lnkd.in/eRAd-V34

Participants are the backbone of our research because our research is intended to provide insights into their priorities and concerns. However, some scholars have raised concerns that when implemented poorly, research may perpetuate colonial relationships and power imbalances. With the help of the Culture, Research Ethics, and Methods (CREME) team, we have been finding ways to conduct research in ways that preserve participant dignity. In this groundwork, Joel Wambua, Nicholas Owsley, and Tom Wein outline how we approach the issue: https://lnkd.in/dXUPAxJr 

Here's another interesting statement from the Tri-Council Policy Statement on Research Ethics Involving Humans. "TCPS 2 defines a community as “a group of people with a shared identity or interest that has the capacity to act or express itself as a collective” (Chapter 9, Section A). A community may be: Territorial, (i.e., determined by a specific geographic space); Organizational, (i.e., a structured entity); or Interest based, (i.e., defined by a shared goal, such as preservation of a language) (Chapter 9, Section A". I like this because it acknowledges the many communities we may find ourselves in.

How did Kant’s critical philosophy shape modern thought on freedom, reason, and ethics? Our #PhilosophyInFocus collection provides a thorough examination of his ideas and their ongoing relevance in contemporary discourse. Explore these scholarly contributions here: https://oxford.ly/3BpnREJ

The call for papers for the April 2025 Cambridge Disinformation Summit will open late next month. The theme will be: “Research on the efficacy of disinformation interventions.” Submissions will be considered from any disciplines that explore potential interventions that might include, but are not limited to: —governance frameworks —understanding of and potential interventions that relate to disinformation actors —understanding of and potential interventions that relate to disinformation incentives —understanding of and potential interventions that relate to dissemination channels —understanding of and potential interventions that relate to targeted vulnerable audiences —accountability for harms from disinformation campaigns —viability of technology to support interventions. Ten to twelve papers will be selected by the scientific committee to be invited for presentation at the events in Cambridge UK. Priority will be given to newer working papers that can both inform and be informed by the Summit’s interdisciplinary audience. More information will be available next month on our Cambridge Disinformation Summit LinkedIn feed and website. For more information, email: CFRA@jbs.cam.ac.uk

Thank you The Behavioural Insights Team (BIT) for hosting EEI Research Associate Dr Malte Dewies for projects’ presentations: Research to develop a new classification system of behavioural interventions, that may be used to structure evidence and better comprehend such interventions. Looking forward to seeing you all again next month at the 3rd International Behavioural Public Policy conference in Cambridge. With BIT Managing Director Elisabeth Costa, President and Founding Director, and EEI Fellow Prof David Halpern. #BehaviouralScience #BehaviouralEconomics #EvidencBased #PublicPolicyAdvisor #PublicPolicy #BehaviouralInsights #Classification #BehaviouralInterventions  

Crisis narratives are everywhere these days, and science is no exception. When you take a closer look, you see a fascinating array of competing framings of crisis in science and of the proposed solutions. This paper, co-authored with Bart Penders and Mare Knibbe and now available in preprint, identifies four dimensions where playful parallels with the Protestant Reformation offer valuable lessons with respect to the content and direction in scientific reform programmes. The four dimensions are also key topics of contestation: Excellence, Communality, Trustworthiness, and Participation. We want to enrich the political and moral conversations we have about ambitions to change scientific institutions, to expand the vocabulary and metaphors we can employ, and to offer context to sometimes predominantly technical exchanges. We argue that for sustained support of credible, equitable and fair science, not all moral programmes offer equal promise. https://lnkd.in/eQ2ZUJ2q
