DJ DiDonna is a Senior Lecturer at Harvard Business School, where he teaches entrepreneurship. In 2019, he founded The Sabbatical Project to define, explore, and research sabbaticals, and he has since advised organizations ranging from nonprofits to Fortune 50 companies on how to design sabbatical policies. His work on sabbaticals has been featured in outlets including The Atlantic, Time, Fast Company, The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Fortune, and NPR. Before his work on sabbaticals, DJ co-founded EFL Global, a fintech social enterprise that helped enable more than $2 billion in capital for underbanked businesses and individuals across more than 20 countries. On his own sabbatical, DJ walked 900 miles on pilgrimage in Shikoku, Japan, and ran a poverty research lab at Notre Dame. DJ's is also the author of the book, Big Time Off: The Transformative Power of Sabbaticals and How to Take One In this episode we discuss the following: Sometimes we need to zoom out before we can know whether we should keep going. DJ had his  dream job, but over time, it stopped being fulfilling. So he took a sabbatical. Sabbaticals are different from vacations. On vacation, the work is often still waiting, and part of our brain is still running in the background. But on a true sabbatical, we step far enough away from normal life to see more clearly and focus on what is important, not just what is urgent. Sabbaticals also give us room to experiment with different versions of ourselves. When we're younger, we have socially acceptable ways to do that — school, internships, missions, study abroad, gap years. But as adults, those opportunities become less common, and we often stop experimenting altogether. We get on a track, stay in the lane, and assume the next thing should look a lot like the last thing. The sabbatical helps us break out. I love DJ's phrase that sabbaticals are “regret insurance.” Maybe we can't take a sabbatical tomorrow. But what are we doing five years from now? What would we regret never having done? And what would it look like to start planning now?

AI chatbots are answering our questions, writing our emails, and helping us make decisions, but how much do we really know about them? Singapore has launched new 'nutrition label' guidelines for AI chatbots, encouraging companies to be upfront about their capabilities, risks, and data practices. Could these labels change how much we trust AI? Will companies voluntarily be transparent? And is this just the first step towards stricter AI regulation? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Steve Kerrison, Senior Lecturer in Cybersecurity at James Cook University, Singapore Campus, to find out more.

The illicit drug market is evolving faster than ever before. Novel psychoactive substances (NPS), synthetic opioids and increasingly potent club drugs are creating new challenges for pre-hospital clinicians, emergency departments and critical care teams. Patients are presenting with unfamiliar toxidromes, unpredictable physiology, and rapidly deteriorating clinical conditions that demand evidence-based assessment and management. The episode begins with insights from Dr Caroline Copeland, Senior Lecturer in Pharmacology and Toxicology at King's College London and Director of the National Programme on Substance Use Mortality. Caroline explains how the illicit drug market has transformed over the past decade, discussing the emergence of synthetic opioids, nitazenes, novel benzodiazepines and the ever-expanding range of novel psychoactive substances. Drawing on national surveillance data and forensic toxicology, she highlights the trends every frontline clinician should understand and the public health implications of these rapidly evolving substances. Building on that foundation, Owen Bowden-Jones, Consultant Psychiatrist and one of the UK's leading experts in club drugs and addiction medicine, takes us into the practical realities of managing patients who have taken MDMA, ketamine, GHB/GBL, synthetic cathinones, synthetic cannabinoids ("Spice"), nitrous oxide and other emerging recreational drugs. The discussion focuses on recognising toxidromes, avoiding common pitfalls and delivering safe, evidence-based supportive care in the pre-hospital and emergency setting.How the illicit drug landscape has changed over the last decade.Novel psychoactive substances (NPS) and why they continue to emerge.Synthetic opioids, nitazenes and the growing public health threat.MDMA toxicity and serotonin syndrome.Ketamine: recreational use, toxicity and chronic complications.GHB/GBL overdose and withdrawal.Synthetic cathinones ("bath salts") and severe behavioural disturbance.Synthetic cannabinoids ("Spice") and unpredictable toxicity.Nitrous oxide misuse and neurological injury.Recognising toxidromes rather than chasing an exact drug diagnosis.Managing agitation, hyperthermia and cardiovascular instability.Harm reduction and communicating with patients who use recreational drugs.Emerging drug trends every pre-hospital clinician should know.This episode brings together and expands on two previous conversations from the Pre-Hospital Care Podcast:Novel Psychoactives and The New Drug Landscape: A Conversation with Dr Caroline Copelandhttps://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/novel-psychoactives-and-the-new-drug/id1441215901?i=1000748836782Club Drugs, Illegal Highs and Novel Psycho-active Substances with Owen Bowden-Joneshttps://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/phcp/episodes/Club-drugs--illegal-highs-and-Novel-Psycho-active-Substances-with-Owen-Bowden-Jones-ejk7rfYou can find excellent online eLearning resources on Club Drugs and NPS here: https://elearninghub.rcpsych.ac.uk/products/Module_1_Introduction_to_club_drugs_and_NPSThese are empirical studies conducted and published by Caroline Copland: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/caroline-copeland

We talk about whether it can be justifiable, and whether there is a duty to live, with a focus on the duty to other people. We also discuss whether people should have access to assisted suicide.

Society is increasingly grappling with a growing dependence on the smartphones many of us carry with us every waking moment of our lives. It has led some to forgo them altogether. One of those people is Dr Alex Beattie, a Senior Lecturer in Information Management at Victoria University, whose research focuses on how society lives with, and disconnects from, digital technologies. He is half a year into his own experiment in living without a smartphone. Beattie spoke to John Campbell via his so-called dumbphone.

Use this link to register: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/ay2YXuCvRLOp1dV5yh8HKwWomen in politics, media, and public life are often placed at the center of the spectacle while being silenced on the issues that matter.Media scholar Allison Butler talks to Steve about her book, Judgment of Gender, exposing how patriarchal power and capitalist media institutions weaponize pop culture and construct narratives that fixate on appearance, personality, and scandal while obscuring questions of class and power. The conversation reveals a core dialectical contradiction: women are centered in media only to be silenced. Their personhood is reduced to superficial tropes.The critiques of political candidates Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and even Nikki Haley, focus on pantsuits, headbands, voice, and age instead of their actual policies, their service to capital, and their imperialist actions (hello? Clinton's role in Libya? “We came, we saw, he died.”) The media's obsession with superficiality silences substantive class-based critique.Allison's highlights the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women. This is critical. It is not a fringe issue but a stark example of state-sanctioned violence and the super-exploitation of the most oppressed. That the legacy media's silence on this horror renders these lives invisible is a feature, not a bug, of a system that treats Indigenous lives as disposableAllison Butler is a Senior Lecturer, Associate Chair, and the Director of the Media Literacy Certificate Program in the Department of Communication at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where she teaches courses on critical media literacy and representations of education in the media. She serves as Vice President on the board of the Media Freedom Foundation.

In this episode of The International Risk Podcast, Dominic Bowen speaks with Dr Duncan Depledge about climate change and its growing impact on the world's militaries.This conversation looks at the geopolitics of the Arctic, the role of energy and logistics in warfare, and the growing competition across the High North, exploring how environmental change has become a central concern in defence planning. Duncan explains why it is a problem for militaries today rather than in the future, and why armed forces now treat a warming world as a practical operational challenge instead of a distant environmental one. The discussion examines whether militaries can decarbonise without compromising readiness and combat effectiveness, and why energy is both a necessity and a vulnerability in war. We also explore NATO's growing engagement with climate security, the rising competition for the critical minerals that green technologies depend on, and why the Arctic, the Baltic, and Northern Europe are now closely connected. The conversation explores:Whether the Arctic is the new central theatre of military strategyHow energy transitions create both resilience and vulnerabilityThe role of critical minerals and resource competition in future conflictWhy climate change is a present-day defence issue, not a future one Dr Duncan Depledge is Senior Lecturer in Geopolitics and Security at Loughborough University, specialising in climate security, defence policy, and Arctic geopolitics. He has advised the Ministry of Defence, NATO, and the European Commission, and previously served as Special Adviser to the House of Commons Defence Committee for its inquiry into UK defence policy in the Arctic.  The International Risk Podcast brings together global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers to explore the forces transforming our world — from geopolitical instability and organised crime to cybersecurity threats and hybrid warfare.  Dominic Bowen is the host of The International Risk Podcast and one of Europe's leading experts on international risk and crisis management.

The LSE Middle East Centre hosted the launch of 'Turkey and the Liberal International Order', a new book examining Turkey's complex and evolving relationship with the liberal international order from the end of the First World War to the present day. The book explores how Turkey, as a middle power, responded to major global transformations following the First World War, the Second World War and the Cold War by appealing to the dominant principles of liberal internationalism. At the same time, it shows how Turkish political movements and foreign policy actors reinterpreted and challenged these principles, shaping how the liberal international order was understood and implemented in the Turkish context. Drawing on parliamentary records and the writings of key political figures, the book offers a rich historical account of how successive generations of policymakers understood Turkey's national interest, its place in the international order and its role on the global stage. Meet our speakers Marc Sinan Winrow is a Teaching Fellow at SOAS, teaching the International Relations of the Middle East and Risk and Policy Analysis, and he is also a Research Assistant at LSE. He completed his PhD in the Department of International Relations of the LSE. The topic of this talk is based on his first published book, Turkey and the Liberal International Order, published by Agenda in 2025. His research continues to be concentrated on different (post-) liberal conceptions of international order, geopolitics and the history and theory of sovereignty in International Relations, with a focus on Turkey and the southeast European, Eastern Mediterranean and the MENA region. Ayla Göl is Course Lead in Politics and International Relations, and a Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the School of Humanities, York St John University, UK. She holds a PhD from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), where she had an early career position at the Department of International Relations. She is the author of Turkey Facing East: Islam, Modernity and Foreign Policy (Manchester University Press) and numerous articles in journals such as Nations and Nationalism, Third World Quarterly, Information and Education Technologies, the Global Discourse and International Affairs, as well as book chapters on Turkey, the Middle East and international relations. Senem Aydın-Düzgit is a Professor of International Relations at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Sabancı University and the Director of the Istanbul Policy Center. She is also a non-resident fellow at the Institute for European Policymaking at Bocconi University. In 2024-2025, she was based at the Harvard Kennedy School as the Pierre Keller Visiting Professor of Public Policy, and in 2023-2024, she was a Richard von Weizsacker Fellow at the Robert Bosch Academy in Berlin. Her main research interests include identity, history, and discourse in the study of international politics, with an empirical focus on European and Turkish foreign policies; and more recently, the nexus between domestic and foreign policies of middle powers in the changing international order. Meet our Chair Katerina Dalacoura is Associate Professor in International Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and Director of the LSE Middle East Centre. She held a Major Research Fellowship by the Leverhulme Trust between 2021 and 2024. The project findings will shortly be published as a book monograph by Cambridge University Press, under the title Islamic International Thought in Turkey: History, Civilisation and Nation.

Welcome to another episode of the Peaceful Political Revolution in America podcast.I want to begin today with a passage that has been sitting with me for some time. It comes from the Swiss scholar Pascal Lottaz, host of the Neutrality Studies podcast, in his March 2026 introduction to an interview with the political scientist Dr. Aaron Good. Lottaz opened that conversation this way. "Crime in the United States is not a bug; it's a feature. That actually explains a lot also about its illegal foreign policies. The US as a political entity is deeply intertwined with crime syndicates and explicitly illegal acts under international and local law. Epstein was not at all an exception. These shady dealers are part and parcel of how US politics works."Good's argument, in brief, is this. After the Second World War, the United States built what he calls a "tripartite state" — the public democratic state we learn about in civics class, the national-security state of the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies, and, behind both of them, a deep state that he defines as an obscured, dominant, supranational source of antidemocratic power. That deep state, he argues, did not emerge from any constitutional design. It emerged from the pursuit of empire — from a postwar project that required, in his words, an endless exception to the rule of law in order to function.That's quite a diagnosis. And it is a powerful one. But it leaves an obvious question hanging. If the rot is structural, what do we do about it? That question is what brings me to today's guest.Dr. Camila Vergara is a Senior Lecturer and Director of Research and Innovation at the Essex Business School at the University of Essex. She is the editor of Theoria: A Journal of Social and Political Theory, and the author of Systemic Corruption: Constitutional Ideas for an Anti-Oligarchic Republic, published by Princeton University Press.Where Aaron Good gives us a forensic account of how the American state has been hollowed out by elite criminality, Camila Vergara takes a longer view. Drawing on Machiavelli, Condorcet, Rosa Luxemburg, and Hannah Arendt, she argues that the corruption we are describing is not a recent betrayal of an otherwise sound design — it is the predictable trajectory of representative government itself. Republics, she contends, decay into oligarchies. They always have. And the question is not whether the United States is corrupt, but whether the constitutional architecture we inherited contains the tools to push back against that decay — or whether we need to build new ones.Her answer, of course, is the latter. She proposes what she calls plebeian institutions — a network of local assemblies, independent of parties and government, designed to give ordinary people a permanent, structural check on the power of the few.Today, we are going to walk through that argument. We will talk about how she defines systemic corruption, why she thinks reform from within is unlikely to be enough, what plebeian power could actually look like in twenty-first century America, and whether the U.S. Constitution — as it stands — is part of the cure or part of the disease.Dr. Camila Vergara, it is a pleasure to have you on the Peaceful Political Revolution in America podcast.

Grief has no timeline, and despite what we might unconsciously believe, there isn't a ‘right' way to die. This life-affirming chat on death, dying, grief, and palliative care reveals why letting go of the ‘good death' myth allows us to talk about the taboo topic of death and helps families face the end with less fear. Death and dying researcher Dr Hannah Gould joins me to unpack why grief does not follow a fixed path - and how a gentle awareness of mortality can help you live a richer, kinder life right now. Hannah shares key lessons that she's recently collated in her book ‘How to die in the 21st century: A whole new way to talk about death'. This episode is for anyone grieving a loved one, caring for ageing parents, walking beside someone in hospice or palliative care, or curious about immortality. It's also a simple, practical guide to death literacy, funeral planning, end-of-life wishes, and sharing the caregiving load (particularly carried by ‘The Eldest Daughter') before a crisis hits. Tune in to discover: Why love, fear, and the unknown stop us from talking about death Why grief is something you learn to carry, not ‘get over' How the myth of a ‘good death' piles pressure on dying people and their families The difference between healthy death awareness and harmful death anxiety How thinking about mortality makes daily life more meaningful Simple ways to talk to your parents about ageing, dying and final wishes Why writing down your own end-of-life plan is a gift to your family Creative funeral ideas that honour the person who died Why humour is a normal, healing part of grief Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro 00:02:20 Why we avoid death 00:04:20 Hannah's path to death 00:13:20 The good death myth 00:16:20 Building a death muscle 00:19:40 Sunflowers on the bus 00:24:20 Women carry death 00:30:00 Starting hard conversations 00:40:40 Wills don't decide funerals 00:42:20 Mosh pits and footy goals 00:47:20 The impulse purchase trap 00:55:00 The standout life **Credit to Laura May Grogan for the photo of Hannah Gould used in this episode's artwork** -

In the Declaration of Independence, signed on 4th July 1776, King George III is cast as a 'tyrant'. How fair is this representation?  In this episode, Kew Palace curator Polly Putnam is joined by Dr Rachel Herrmann, Senior Lecturer in Modern American History at Cardiff University, and Dr Robin Eagles, Editor at the History of Parliament Trust. Together, they explore George III's legacy in the United States of America, and whether this matches what we know about his reign. How much power did George have over the American colonies? Who is often left out of the story? And was he the 'tyrant' that he was made out to be?  Learn more about George III on our website.

In this week's episode photographer, filmmaker and artist Roger Ballen takes on our ‘Proust Photo Quiz'… The Proust Questionnaire is a set of questions answered by the French writer Marcel Proust. Proust answered the questionnaire in a confession album, a form of parlour game popular at the end of the 1890s. The album, titled An Album to Record Thoughts, Feelings, etc.was found in 1924 and published in the French literary journal Les Cahiers du Mois. Our ‘Proust Photo Quiz' is an adaption of the original text. Roger Ballen Ballen was born in New York in 1950, but for nearly 40 years he has lived and worked in South Africa. It was his work as a geologist that took him into the countryside with his camera in 1981 to explore the hidden world of small South African towns. At first he explored the empty streets in the glare of the midday sun but, once he made the step of knocking on people's doors, he discovered a world inside these houses which was to have a profound effect on his work. After 1994 he no longer looked to the countryside for his subject matter finding it closer to home in Johannesburg. Over the past thirty-five years his photography has evolved using a simple square format in stark black and white. A style he describes as ‘documentary fiction'. After 2000 the people he first discovered and documented living on the margins of South African society became a cast of actors. Ballen has made a number of short films including the collaborative film I Fink You Freeky in 2012, which has over 125-million hits on YouTube.  He also made an animated film, Theatre of Apparitions, which has been nominated for various awards. In 2017 Thames & Hudson published a volume of his collected photography with extended commentary by Ballen titled Ballenesque Roger Ballen: A Retrospective to accompany an exhibition of his work at Halle Saint Pierre in Paris, which took over the entire space for more than a year. ​In 2020, Hatje Cantz published Roger the Rat in which Ballen creates and documents a part-human, part-rat creature who lives an isolated life outside of mainstream society. Ballen has published over twenty-five books internationally and his works are in more than fifty of the most important international museum collections. He still lives in Johannesburg, South Africa. www.rogerballen.com Dr.Grant Scott After fifteen years art directing photography books and magazines such as Elle and Tatler, Scott began to work as a photographer for a number of advertising and editorial clients in 2000.

Welcome to Episode 109 of The Research Files, and I've actually got 2 guests with me today – Professor Sandra Gatenhoff, Academic Lead Learning and Teaching in the School of Creative Arts at Queensland University of Technology, that's QUT of course, and Dr John Nicholas Saunders, Senior Lecturer in Education at Australian Catholic University, that's ACU. Now, their study was featured in the recent Australian Journal of Education (AJE) Special Issue on Arts in Education. In that paper (Gattenhof & Saunders, 2026), they warn the arts and creative sectors here in Australia are facing unprecedented challenges. We're going to be taking a look at what's happening in schools then in relation to that, starting with the declining enrolment numbers in year 12 arts subjects in Australian states and territories, and the implications of that. We'll also be talking about the challenge of out-of-field teaching in arts education and some of those practical supports and solutions for schools. Host: Jo Earp
