My guest this episode is Stacie Mintz, Managing Director and Head of Quantitative Equity at PGIM Quantitative Solutions.Stacie has spent 33 years at PGIM, and she's been there for every defining moment of the firm's quant equity effort: a first strategy born from a client's challenge to move beyond indexing, a 1999 decision to abandon Barra and bring the risk model in-house, surviving the quant quake of August 2007, and the post-GFC realization that in a crowded-factor world, it's not enough to be a quant — you have to be a different quant.We dig into what PGIM's "fundamental quant" label actually means in practice, from a financing factor that asks how a company funds its growth, to a factor taxonomy that includes an unfamiliar Linkages group and — unusually for a quant shop — excludes momentum entirely.In the back half, we turn to the frontier: turning qualitative signals like board composition and innovation into systematic factors, building models that assess emergent shocks like COVID and AI in real time, and why Stacie calls LLMs "bazookas" — tools powerful enough to blow up what already works, which is exactly why you start with the insight and only then reach for the tool.Please enjoy my conversation with Stacie Mintz.
Allison and Noah talk about: 1) Our strange, short, truncated warlet with Iran this week, and 2) New findings that point to a weird entanglement between Israeli attitudes towards climate change and our attitudes towards Netanyahu, the courts, the ultra-orthodox and most everything else we argue about here. For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Sam Harris makes waves by saying there's no point in even debating enemies of Israel. Might he have a point? Plus: An old-new life for Kibbutz Manara and hip new music by the graduates of a not-known-for-being-hip youth movement, Noam.
In this March 24 convo with Helena Cobban, Vijay Prashad, the director Tricontinental, drew on his extensive experience of the affairs of the Global South to assess the extent and roots of Iran's achievements in resisting the attack that the U.S.-Israeli alliance started on February 28. Prashad and Cobban also discussed the ties between Iran's achievements in their war against the alliance and the prospects for the movements in Gaza, the rest of Palestine, and Lebanon that are also facing fierce onslaughts from the alliance, and the impacts of this war on the global balance more generally. This conversation is the ninth in JWE's ongoing "Iran Crisis" series, which is a follow-on to the "Gaza, and the World" project that we launched in Fall 2025.

In this episode, journalist Puja Mehra speaks with Subhomoy Bhattacharjee, Journalist and Contributing Editor at Business Standard, about the paradox at the heart of India's coal economy—why the country is sitting on large coal stocks even as it continues to import coal for power generation. They discuss how India's transition from coal shortages to apparent surplus masks deeper structural problems in production, transportation, pricing, and quality.Drawing on recent data and policy decisions, Bhattacharjee explains why domestically mined coal often fails to reach power plants economically, how high rail freight costs and geographic mismatches distort supply, and why many plants prefer imported coal despite higher headline prices. The conversation also examines the opening up of coal mining to private players, the weakening of Coal India's monopoly, and the push towards market-driven coal pricing through proposed coal exchanges.The discussion concludes by looking ahead to India's energy future, assessing whether coal consumption has peaked, how rising electricity demand from data centres and the AI economy could reshape power needs, and why coal is likely to remain central to India's power mix for years to come. Tune in for insights on what India's coal surplus reveals about infrastructure bottlenecks, market design, and energy policy.CHAPTERS(00:00) Introduction to India's Coal Economy(02:00) The Coal Surplus Puzzle(04:00) Why Coal Isn't Reaching Plants(06:30) Transport Costs and Rail Bottlenecks(09:00) Imported Coal vs Domestic Coal(11:30) Why Plants Aren't Near Mines(14:00) Pollution and Poor Plant Location(16:30) Private Miners and Rising Production(18:30) Can Coal India Adapt(21:00) Coal India's Financial Health(23:30) Employees and Market Transition(26:00) Coal Pricing and Linkages(28:00) Has India's Coal Use Peaked(30:30) AI, Data Centres and Power Demand(33:00) Global Coal Demand Outlook(35:30) Nuclear Power and the FutureRegister for India Finance and Innovation Forum 2026https://tinyurl.com/IFIFCOREFor more of our coverage check out thecore.inSubscribe to our NewsletterFollow us on:Twitter |Instagram |Facebook |Linkedin |Youtube

Tribe-Class Linkages: The History and Politics of the Agrarian Movement in Tripura (Routledge, 2023) is a historical study of the development of agrarian class relations among the tribal population in Tripura. Tracing the evolution of Tripura and its agrarian relations from monarchy in the nineteenth century to democracy in the twentieth century, the book discusses the nature of the erstwhile princely state of Tripura, analyses the emergence of differentiation within tribes, and documents the emergence of the tribal movement in the state. It specifically focuses on the tribal movement led by the Ganamukti Parishad, beginning with the historic revolt of 1948-51 against state repression of the tribal people, followed by the mass movements in the 1950s and 1960s, which were founded on a recognition of class relations and the slogan of unity across the tribal and non-tribal (Bengali) peasantry. The first of its kind, the book will be indispensable for students and researchers of tribal studies, agrarian studies, exclusion studies, tribe-class relationships, minority studies, sociology, development studies, history, political science, north-east India studies, and South Asian studies. It will also be useful for activists and policymakers working in the area. Rituparna Patgiri has a PhD in Sociology from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi. Her research interests lie in the areas of food, media, gender and public. She is also one of the co-founders of Doing Sociology. Patgiri can be reached at @Rituparna37 on Twitter.

Lucy Mettler, a 17-year-old high school student from Charleston, South Carolina, launches her debut book, Treasures of the Tide (Elyon Press), a heartwarming story for elementary school children who may be coping with the loss of a loved one. Mettler's lyrical picture book tells the story of a boy whose passion for shell hunting and boundless curiosity connects him with his departed father, who also loved searching for the ocean's hidden treasures. Mettler also hopes to empower young readers to discover the magic of the natural world, which is often drowned out by digital distractions. Mettler, who grew up near the water, is a firm believer that every child should have the opportunity to discover the magic that exists in nature. Mettler is partnering with the National Alliance for Children's Grief to provide the book as a resource to grief professionals and children. She donated 500 books to attendees of the Alliance's 26th annual symposium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. “My hope is that this tale inspires wonder and offers comfort to children who may be missing a family member or friend,” says Mettler. “Even as I near adulthood, I still miss my grandparents, who passed away when I was younger. I want children to know they are not alone, and that our loved ones are still with us in spirit and through special memories.”The story of exploration and family is complemented by the whimsical illustrations of award-winning artist Nathaniel Eckstrom. Eckstrom is one of Australia's leading children's illustrators and has illustrated more than 26 titles, including Meg McKinlay's Duck! and Eddie Jaku's The Happiest Boy on Earth.“Last summer, I worked at a summer camp in order to earn money to pay for the illustrations. The job also gave me the wonderful opportunity to interact with young children, who are my audience for the book,” says Mettler. “But even though the book is geared toward elementary-aged children, I wanted to create a story that parents would enjoy too. It's really a book for people of all ages.”Treasures of the Tide is now available for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and through lucymettler.com.The book launch follows Lucy's reading to students attending Montgomery Knolls Elementary School in Silver Spring, Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C. The event was held in partnership with Linkages to Learning program, a community-school program that provides at-risk students and their families with educational resources and support.

In today's episode, Lucinda is joined by CEP Senior Advisor Alexander Ritzmann. He leads the work of CEP Berlin on violent far-right extremist or terrorist (transnational) networks, both offline and online. Together they take a closer look at a recently published CEP study, titled Transnational linkages between violent right-wing extremism, terrorism and organized crime, of which the main author is Alexander. About the study:Existing studies on the extremism/terrorism-crime nexus in recent years have focused on Islamist extremism and terrorism, while the transnational nexus between right-wing extremism/terrorism and organized crime groups remains under-researched. This gap in knowledge can lead to a misunderstanding of the strategies of right-wing extremists as well as of the risks those actors pose to potential victims and society as a whole. A new CEP study, commissioned by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany, shows that several violence-oriented right-wing extremist individuals and groups in Europe and the U.S. engage in or maintain ties with organized crime. Many of the identified cases have a transnational dimension, be it through cross-border activities like the acquisition of illegal drugs for distribution or through supposedly legal activities such as co-organizing hate music concerts, including events with a transnational character. As the study demonstrates, Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs, VRWE-affiliated football hooligan groups, prison gangs, and a range of VRWE individuals and groups are part of transnational networks. Such connections are particularly visible in Austria, Germany, Poland, Sweden, and the U.S. The study aims at informing policymakers working on the prevention and countering of violent extremism or terrorism and organized crime with the goal of fostering a better understanding of the phenomena and to encourage further cooperation between relevant government agencies and civil society organizations.CEP resourcesThe new CEP study can be accessed here.Watch the CEP Webinar: The Transnational Nexus of Right-Wing Extremism and Organized Crime here.

The Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS), and the Centre for Public Law (CPL) warmly invite you to an online Rapid Response Seminar on the proposed UK Northern Ireland Protocol Bill. The United Kingdom Foreign Secretary announced on 17 May that a Bill will be introduced in response to "the grave situation in Northern Ireland", there was a "necessity to act to ensure institutions can be restored as soon as possible". (BBC News) While there is still the preference for a negotiated solution the Government highlighted that if a resolution cannot be reached, the UK would take steps to "cement provisions" that are working in the protocol, while "fixing those elements that aren't". The EU expressed grave concern and signalled that countermeasures would be adopted if the UK went ahead with its plans. The two Research Centres of the Faculty of Law have joined forces to analyse two aspects of the proposed cause of action in a rapid response seminar. Experts on EU law and public law will jointly discuss different aspects of the proposal. It will allow enough time for an online Q&A, so please submit your questions through the chat. Speakers: - Professor Lorand Bartels – UK Border Concerns - Professor Catherine Barnard – Linkages of the Protocol with the TCA and similarities/differences in Dispute Settlement - Dr Stefan Theil – Reactions by the EU and in the Member States Broader Systemic Implications - Professor Alison Young – International Legal Advice in the Westminster Government - Dr Markus Gehring – Unilateral Actions in EU and International Law For more information see: https://www.cels.law.cam.ac.uk/ and https://www.cpl.law.cam.ac.uk/

In this episode, MIT alumni and Research Scientist Dr. Afreen Siddiqi of MIT Professional Education hosts a conversation with Claudia Ringler of the Institute of International Food Policy Research to help us better understand the connections between water, energy, food, and land. “Energy matters every time you are trying to get enough water to produce food,” explains Ringler. She also touches on another factor that is closely tied to the previous four; our environment. “Ecosystem health is essential for food security, food production, and obviously for all life on Earth”. Driven by a deep dedication to the field, Dr. Siddiqi inquires with all the right questions and supporting points to aid in uncovering synergies that exist among these interlinkages, as well as solutions to their less beneficial aspects. Tune into the conversation to learn more about these linkages and how they play out in the real world in today’s episode, from MIT Professional Education.

The Government of Canada hired an entire new “sub group” of public servants to investigate Canada's economy and develop a plan to take Canada's economy into the future. The group has been named “Canada Beyond 150”. The group is supported and promoted by existing public sector monoliths such as The Privy Council Office and Policy Horizons Canada. One would think that if tax payers, knowingly or unknowingly, invested $100's of millions of dollars onto planning for our countries economic future, we certainly could do better then producing a roadmap which is nothing more than a flagrant roadmap to communism. You have got to give our civil servants some credit though, they did provide us the courtesy of rebranding communism to something much more palatable. Today we call communism the “access economy” and the Government of Canada is extremely proud of themselves for this accomplishment.The Canadian Government seems determined to create an environment with soaring inflation and debt. Of course expecting a free market capitalist approach to solving these problems would simply be too much to expect from our public servants. Instead a plan specifically focussed around state ownership of the means of production and land/real estate, and simply renting access to such services to the citizens represents a much more “equitable” approach to our government.Citizens access to assets and services is to be solely determined based on ones social credit scores, which are presumably defined by the same government deciding which class of assets you will be permitted access to. So, freedom of speech is to be replaced with a social credit score, which in turn will determine your “class” of citizenship and the level of assets you will have access to.Linkages between ownership and social status are unstable, inequitable and of course racist. Earning what you generate is not longer desirable or equitable or fair. As such, the government will now determine which class of assets you are entitled to, based on variables like group identity along with your assigned social credit score.Home ownership and other wealth is to be distributed based on a complex array of equity and diversity and inclusion formula.You will own nothing, and you will be happy...Ladies and gentlemen, I present you Canada's communism *cough* Canada's “access economy This is a public episode.

https://music.ku.edu/martin-bergee (Dr. Martin Bergee) from the University of Kansas initially believed that when you accounted for all of the demographic variables, the relationship between music and reading and math would be nonexistent. He was surprised when he found out he was wrong and music achievement does have a statistically significant relationship with both reading and math acheivement. The study is entitled, https://news.ku.edu/2020/11/20/study-shows-strong-links-between-music-and-math-reading-achievement (“Multilevel Models of the Relationship Between Music Achievement and Reading and Math Achievement,”) and was published in the Journal of Research in Music Education.

Hello and welcome to yet another episode of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast, with me your host Loksan Harley. Today we're returning to the fascinating topic of migration and development and how each affects the other. And I have the ideal guest on to share her wisdom on the topic - Dr Melissa Siegel from the United Nations University Maastricht Economic and Social Research Institute on Innovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT). Melissa is a Professor and Head of Migration Studies at the Maastricht Graduate School of Governance and UNU-MERIT where she manages several migration research projects and coordinates the Migration Studies Specialization of the Master's Program in Public Policy and Human Development. She is Co-Director of the Maastricht Center for Citizenship, Migration and Development (MACIMIDE). She currently holds the Chair of the UNU Migration Network and is a Research Associate at the Center on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS) at the University of Oxford. She is also on the advisory board of the Migration Policy Centre of the European University Institute (EUI). She has advised, worked on, trained, or headed projects for several governments and international organisations. Her main research interests lie in the causes and consequences of migration with a strong emphasis on the linkages between migration and development. And those areas of her expertise are exactly the topics that we're focusing on today. In our interview, I was able to squeeze Dr Siegel for all the expertise I could get. We talk about how development affects migration (including the "migration hump") and how migration affects development, including the most common misconceptions about those relationships. We also elaborate on how those misconceptions then translate into misguided policies and the effects of those policies. Finally, we talk a bit about Melissa and UNU-MERIT's fantastic work to create a variety of content on migration that speaks to a diversity of audiences - from scholars and policy-makers to the general public - including through Melissa's excellent YouTube channel, through which she shares useful explainer videos on different migration themes. Without further ado, thank you so much for listening and enjoy the show.

Professor Katharine Hayhoe is well-known the world over for her clear communications on the risks posed by climate change and why these risks and can be addressed in a non-political and non-partisan way. Katharine is an atmospheric scientist, the Political Science Endowed Professor in Public Policy and Public Law at Texas Tech University in the US and directs their Climate Center. Life on Zoom In the period of lockdown, Katharine discusses how technology has played a critical role human interactions, from the emotional experience of her grandmother's death to more passive interactions such as knitting or just staying in touch with family and friends. This all leads her to rename social distancing so it becomes physical distancing with social connectivity. COVID-19 and carbon emissions There is much talk about how the pandemic is good for the environment but, as Katharine points out, this has to be taken in context. Because we are not pumping out so much pollution as normal, we are still adding to the atmospheric burden of greenhouse gases. Air quality linked to human suffering Another linkage from the pandemic pause is the cleaner air that has been a tangible benefit of reducing nearly all transport to a small fraction of what it was before. Low-balling climate change Climate scientists have always produced scenarios based on different estimates of outcomes from climate forcing and Earth system sensitivity. Katharine explains how typically scientists have been low-balling the speed and severity of climate change. The 3 choices that humanity has to select from are mitigation, adaptation, or suffering. It turns out we will likely be forced to select all three but the balance of each is still up to us. Katharine gives her view on how this current crisis informs us to best face the future. Climate change and politics In the US and UK especially, climate change has been forced into a political framing in order to try and make conservatives think that the threat is not real or very serious. Now, with impacts so tangibly in our faces, from the loss of the polar ice caps and ice sheets like in Greenland, or the fires in the Amazon, Australia among many other places, people are realising this is real and anxiety about the future is commonplace. What can we do about it? The world won't end in 2030 There is an emerging narrative that if the world does not decarbonise by 2030 then we will experience the apocalypse. Katharine Hayhoe discusses the importance of having a vision of the future that balances the reality of climate change with the outcome that we want to see and that we can collectively and individually work towards. Collapsing oil, personal suffering and policy Katharine discusses how the collapse of the oil price is impacting thousands of people in the oil industry who are losing their jobs and facing financial hardship in a very uncertain time. These are not bad people but rather a part of our society who are trying to support their families. What can we do to help them transition to new sectors? Despite this, lobbyists for oil-producing regions like Alberta in Canada are trying to roll back environmental taxes aimed at starting the transition to clean energy. Katharine explains why carbon taxes are still part of the solution, perhaps more so than ever before. Official webpage: https://climateseries.com/climate-change-podcast
In this episode, I host Professor Andrea Pető, a highly esteemed academic who researches anti-gender movements across Europe. She also has hands-on experience in dealing with the attacks on academic freedom in Hungary, and close ties to the Academics for Peace movement in Turkey.Pető will first depict her academic collaboration and friendship with Professor Ayşe Gül Altınay, who recently received 25-month prison sentence because she signed the statement “We will not be a party to this crime”. Then she will explain how, through this academic collaboration and friendship, she has been able to observe and experience the feminist movement including feminist academics in Turkey, who have a long history of standing up for peace and justice.By comparing the attacks in Turkey and Hungary, Pető will also present a compelling case of illiberal and authoritarian governments creating what she calls polypore states. Such states “feed on the vital resources of their liberal predecessors and produce a fully dependent state structure in return. This style of government involves appropriating the institutions, mechanisms and funding channels of the European liberal democratic project.” The attacks on academic institutions and academic freedom are an important part of the governmentality of polypore states as they seek to seize and usurp the realm of knowledge production.
The East Africa Business Podcast: African Start ups | Investing | Entrepreneurship | Interviews
A big issue in Tanzania, and indeed the rest of East Africa, is connecting agriculture buyers and sellers. The fact that produce goes bad because it can't find a buyer is a real problemin terms of the incomes that farmers can receive. Ninayo is a marketplace where farmers can list their produce, giving buyers a place to search for goods. Maria and I discuss how the marketplace is being built, the plans for making revenue and how they are using Facebook to their advantage. We were in a cafe and so at some point you can hear people in the background. We've done our best to edit this out, but apologies if you find it distracting.
