A documentary special - UP Productions' Matt Cutler explores the changing relationship between two cultural institutions in the UK: football and the pub.The pub has an important place in both professional and grassroots football.As the place friends and family meet before the game, and dissect a win or loss afterwards. Where old school friends reserve a table under the big screen to catch-up on a weekend.And where Sunday League teams - many who operate thanks to patronage from their local pub - congregate, celebrate and commiserate.However, the number of UK licensed premises fell below 100,000 for the first time since records began in 2023 – and in the first quarter of 2024, pub closures increased by 51%.And it's already having a major impact on football fan culture.Leadership in Sport MA 2024 Applications Open  Applications for the next intake on the 2024 Leadership in Sport Masters are open. The Leadership in Sport Masters is designed for sports industry executives to study part-time alongside their careers. The programme is co-delivered by Loughborough University London and the Institute of Sports Humanities (ISH), experts in leadership education. Loughborough University is ranked best university in the world for sports-related subjects (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2017-2023). Find out more sportshumanities.org or contact tom.rann@sportshumanities.orgUnofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

FIFA+ is the global football governing bodies own media platform, created in 2020 and launched two years later. It's one of sports biggest and most ambitious and expensive direct-to-consumer projects, and so brings together many of the threads we talk about often on Unofficial Partner; a debate that runs across the sports industry, as governing bodies, leagues and teams spend billions creating owned and operated channels as a mitigation against volatility in the media rights marketplace and the money made from their content by the big social media platforms.The conversation is peppered with phrases such as walled gardens, creative tension in the bidding process, owning the customer relationship, long tail audiences, build and they will come. FIFA+ is a poster child for these theories. But this is a conversation that goes beyond the mechanics of D2C. It's about what the leaders of big sports governing bodies want to be and the role they will seek to play over the next decade or more.Read this week's UP Newsletter for more on FIFA+ HEREGuests:Dave Roberts was one of the architects of FIFA+ in the run up to launch and in its early iterations. He's now CEO of XCel Broadcast. Hugo Sharman is CEO of StreamAMG, one of the leading players in video content and distribution for sports rights holders.Carlo Dimarchis is today known as a business media creator, The Guy with the Scarf but previously led strategy and innovation over a 34 year career at Deltatre. Michael Broughton is co-founder of Sports Investment Partners and was an advisor to FIFA on innovation and commercial strategy. Leadership in Sport MA 2024 Applications Open Applications for the next intake on the 2024 Leadership in Sport Masters are open.

Examining how sport franchises have tailored their apparel to appeal to the masses. 4se Material explores some of the many stories at the intersection of sport, entertainment, lifestyle and culture. This episode was originally published on the 4se Material feed in April - to hear more like it, search '4se Material' on your chosen podcast platform.It seems sports fans and non-fans alike are sporting licensed sportswear. From jerseys to caps, a passerby on any city street can spy some of sports' most famous logos worn on the bodies of many a trendsetter. But how did this happen? How did pieces of memorabilia, originally designed for die-hard fans, develop this mass appeal? Why would sports organisations seek to make their merchandise more wearable, and why would non-fans buy into it? And how much power really is there in recognisable company iconography?   To help us stitch this sportswear story together, we spoke to Matthew Primack, SVP of International Business Affairs and Development at Fanatics, and to Samantha Gibb, Head of PR and Digital Communications EMEA at New Era - two world-class organisations retailing and manufacturing licensed sports merchandise; we also consulted Dr Lauren Burch, Senior Lecturer in Sports Business at Loughborough University London, to help us understand how organisations benefit from investing in merchandise; and last but certainly not least, we spoke to Mirko Borsche & Kolja Buscher from global design studio Bureau Borsche, whose portfolio includes heading the design of the rebranding for Venezia F.C, whom the media have labelled “the world's most fashionable football club”.

Ed is Co-Founder of the Institute of Sports Humanities (ISH) which has a mission to nurture and inspire sport's current and future leaders around the world.ISH and Loughborough University London recently launched the new Leadership in Sport Master's course, running from Autumn 2023.Ed Smith: 'Education carries with it an awful lot of legacy and therefore conservatism.The world is changing and you're going to need to constantly attend to the requirement to have new skills that fit the world as it is changing.And that world is changing very fast. I don't think education can just say, here we are and this is how we've always been, come to us. I think real world experience combined with and academic learning is a very powerful combination. It'd be very easy just to tell war stories, and it's very easy to get lost in theory at the other end of the spectrum, but can you bring to the two together in a really useful way?'The NEW intake STARTS IN October 2023 and applications are currently open.Find out more at www.sportshumanities.org The course has been designed for executives working in the sports industry as well as athletes seeking specialised education to support their professional development.

Aung San Suu Kyi became one of the most recognisable people in the world in the 1990s and 2000s during long periods under house arrest in her native Myanmar. Released in 2010, her image as an icon of democracy, resilience and human rights has been tainted by her apparent ambivalence towards the military-sponsored ethnic cleansing (some say genocide) of Myanmar's Rohingya Muslim minority. My guest today is Dr Ronan Lee (@Ronan_Lee), research fellow at the Institute for Media and Creative Industries at Loughborough University London. Ronan is the author of Myanmar's Rohingya Genocide: Identity History and Hate Speech, which was released last year. We discuss Aung San Suu Kyi's early life as a member of the Myanmar elite, her time under house arrest, her response to the Rohingya genocide, and the complex nature of her personal politics and her legacy.

Beijing 2022 was the first Winter Olympics to rely almost exclusively on fake snow – at great cost to the environment. But is it possible to make sports more sustainable, and will we even be able to have the Winter Olympics in the future? Dr. Madeleine Orr is a sports ecologist at Loughborough University London, and the founder of The Sport Ecology Group. She tells Jelena Sofronijevic about why pollution impacts competition, how international organisations exercise total control over local laws and taxes…and whether 2022 was really the “greenest and cleanest” Games yet.   “When we think about sports, we're not thinking about the environments where they take place.” “The more we use artificial spaces, the more original biodiversity loss.”   Written and presented by Jelena Sofronijevic.

This Technē Cast episode addresses the theme of ‘touch’ and the different ways of thinking the tactile sense is subjected to in Western culture. Whilst touch is central to our aesthetic experiences of food, sex, music, art and design, it is also shrouded in taboo and loaded with negative associations. This episode touches on all these debates – the perceived neglect of touch, touch hunger, and the impact of sensory marketing, haptic technologies, and COVID-19 on our tactile encounters – and expresses hope for a rehabilitation of the sense of touch and our feelings of connection with the material world. Sophie Declerck is a AHRC technē Doctoral Researcher in the Institute for Design Innovation at Loughborough University London. Her research interests span sensory design, design aesthetics, and semiotic meaning-making practices. Her PhD project explores the meanings, material expressions and affective atmospheres of tactility with the aim of formulating an aesthetics of touch to inform the design of material artefacts. Sophie holds an MA in History of Design from the Royal College of Art/V&A Museum, and brings to her research an academic background in Classics, Applied Linguistics and Photography.

Mikko Koria; a curious person who wears many hats: about design, interdisciplinarity and ways to reach joint meanings. Mikko Koria is; the Professor in Design Innovation and the Director of the Institute for Design Innovation at Loughborough University London, and Visiting Professor at Aalto University, Finland. He holds degrees in Architecture from University of San Paulo and Helsinki University of Technology, an MBA in Design Management from the University of Westminster and a PhD in Economics and Business Administration from the Helsinki School of Economics.Over the last thirty years, Mikko has led complex, multicultural, and interdisciplinary initiatives and organisations, building teams and meaningful solutions in humanitarian work and business contexts, in many cases linking technical and social goals. Next to SMEs, start-ups, and multinationals, he worked with organizations such as the Red Cross, EU, UNICEF the World Bank in the UK, Finland, Brazil, and multiple other Asian, African, and South American countries. Key areas of research and professional practice include design driven education and training, value-intensive management, service design and innovation, policymaking, business models and ecosystems, entrepreneurship, and global management.Today we are pleased to have Mikko Koria is with us and engage in a reflective chat about design, research, identity, interdisciplinarity and ethics. Mikko introduces himself as a person who has never quite figured it out and is constantly driven by curiosity to understand what is around the corner. From here on, we discuss design innovation and its inherent interdisciplinarity. How does a designer use the co-creation tools differently from an anthropologist? How to give voice to the people who do not understand their input? How to work around different agendas and achieve a joint meaning? At the end, Mikko reflects on the humane qualities that might bring a design practitioner closer to figuring out the unknowns.Mentioned in Podcast: Institute for Design Innovation at Loughborough University London, https://www.lborolondon.ac.uk/institutes/design-innovation/Social media: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikko-koria-44864a1/

Welcome to UCL's Inclusive Innovators podcast, part of the East London Inclusive Enterprise Zone (ELIEZ) ELIEZ is an accessible, specially designed, community for entrepreneurs who are disabled or whose work focuses on accessibility. In this series, listeners will have an opportunity to hear from start-ups, design thinkers, entrepreneurs and partners that are part of the ELIEZ community. Each episode is hosted by Matt Pierri who founded Sociability, an app which helps disabled people find accessible spaces. This week, we're talking to Gavin Poole, CEO of Here East. Gavin set up Here East with Andrew Roughan, Managing Director of Plexal. Here East was the very spot where 20,000 journalists during the Olympics and Paralympics came together in the Broadcast centre to celebrate the wins of Mo Farah and Jess Ennis. It was a time when the greatest show on Earth rolled into east London. Since the Games, London has been reincarnated as a bustling tech and innovation base, known as Here East. Around 3000 people are based at Here East, working for a range of players from multinationals such as Ford, BT Sport, Loughborough University London and UCL. We speak to Gavin on how he bought this vision to life and the role it plays in building upon the Paralympic legacy. Full transcript is available here.

Is socialism feasible? What is the future of heterodox economics after the financial crisis? In this episode of the Governance Podcast, Mark Pennington (King's College London) sits down with Geoffrey Hodgson (Loughborough University London) for a wide-ranging conversation on the nature of social democracy, neoliberalism, and new paradigms in economics.

The Guest Geoffrey Hodgson is a Professor in Management for the Institute for International Management at Loughborough University London. He is a specialist in institutional and evolutionary economics, with a background in economics, philosophy and mathematics. His research has applications to the understanding of organisations, organisational change, innovation, entrepreneurship and economic development. Hodgson is also the Editor in Chief of the Journal of Institutional Economics (ABS rank 3). He has published 18 academic books and over 150 academic articles. He is the winner of the Schumpeter Prize 2014 for his book on "Conceptualizing Capitalism".  Skip Ahead 0:55: You've actually got two books out in the last year -- Is Socialism Feasible? and Is there a future for heterodox economics? I wonder if we could start by you talking us through-- first of all, how do you write two books in a year, but also the rationale for these two particular books? 8:44: I'd like to follow up on that last part and link it to the motivation for writing these books-- you're very clear to make a distinction between socialism and social democracy, so you do see yourself as a kind of social democrat who has been influenced by arguments in the liberal tradition. I wonder if you could say something about why you think, following the crash, there's been a movement toward going back to what you describe as 'big state socialism' as opposed to embracing a radical Keynesian view or some kind of interventionist or redistributive politics, which isn't about nationalising or controlling everything from the centre. 14:45: I really enjoyed this section of the book where you're talking about the use of terminology-- how the use of this term 'neoliberal' has meant that you almost can't have a conversation in certain areas because anything turns out to be neoliberal if it isn't full blooded socialism and I think there's a wonderful line in the book where you say that if you follow this kind of reasoning, when Lenin introduced the New Economic Policy to save the Soviet people from starvation, this would have been described as a neoliberal policy by some of the contemporary left. 16:34: Why do you think that label [neoliberalism] has become so ubiquitous? 18:17: You mention some heterodox thinkers using the term, dismissing certain things as being right wing just because of that. Perhaps we can connect to the second book-- could you talk about the rationale for writing it? 26:32: Can we pursue that more, this issue about how effectively methodological questions seem to get confused with policy positions or ideological views in heterodoxy? This is something that's always frustrated me-- I consider myself to be quite heterodox in the sense that I'm very influenced by the Austrian school ideas. There are lots of debates I'd like to engage with people who are post-Keynesians or post-institutionalists or evolutionary thinkers, and I feel that we should have a club identity around those themes. But because we might divide on policy issues that seems to come apart.  29:59: There is so much within neoclassical economics which promotes, if not radical socialism, although you could interpret some general equilibrium theory in that way, but it certainly promotes interventionism  -- it assumes away all the problems of tacit knowledge.  30:33: You've given reasons why you think heterodox economics as a set of broad theories is not in as good a shape as you'd like it to be, and that's one of the reasons you've written this book-- I wonder if you could address institutional economics, which on some readings is a kind of subfield within the broad heterodox camp, but arguably with things like new institutional economics there are some overlaps with the mainstream.  34:46: I would have thought there should be more overlap between some of the concerns of institutional economics-- you think about the role that soft institutions or beliefs play, or the way ideas are communicated, with a lot of the work that takes place in cultural studies or communication studies, these kind of areas which often see themselves as being antithetical to economic ways of thinking, but they're actually dealing with questions about how ideas spread, how norms change, and you'd think this is terrain where they should be interested in the kind of insights you'd get from these fields.  39:07: This connects back to our earlier discussion about the socialism book-- within our research centre here we're very much concerned with governance questions. Of course within that area we focused on themes like markets and private property, state ownership. But one of the great contributions I think of institutional economics, certainly of people like Elinor Ostrom, is to point out this whole space that many people have missed, which is between markets and states. And there's even been the argument made that to speak in terms of markets and states is a kind of outdated mode of analysis, that we actually need to be seeing all solutions to social problems in some sense as being some form of hybrid. Do you think that is one of the most important contributions of institutional economics? 41:33: I'm struck by how few politicians are able to articulate that kind of language. You could say that some people used to talk about the third way as something different, but people spoke about a third way or looking for some notion of hybrids.  46:50: Is there a way in policy terms where people can conceive of allowing different institutions to coexist so that we don't see this as being a choice between all markets or all something else; we actually have different kinds of organisation coexisting in a society? If you think about a solution to religious conflict -- it's to tolerate the fact that people have different religions. If we can tolerate the fact that some people prefer different institutional forms, we've got to figure out some way allowing them to coexist rather than seeking victory for one side.  52:09: To reflect a bit on what is happening to economics -- to think about those questions post-crisis-- I remember the financial crash, there was a huge amount of activism by students and people in the profession saying that economics needs to rethink itself. Some of the issues we've talked about get to parts of that, but my understanding is that economics hasn't changed much at all these 15 years. Do you see any signs of change?
