How often do you check your phone every day? Dr Clare Moriarty, Visiting Fellow in Trinity College Dublin, has picked up on her habits, and is asking the question: are we 'phone zombies'?

As we are rattled by the news every day with something astonishing, often horrifying—scandals, political collisions and war—it becomes hard to keep our connection to the concept of international law. Why is the rules-based order under so much strain? Joining Jeremy and Louise are former ambassadors Sabine Nolke, a Visiting Fellow at Western University and practitioner of international law, and Jon Allen, Senior Fellow at the University of Toronto's Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History and a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Canadian International Council.

Philip Nash's book Clare Boothe Luce: American Renaissance Woman (Routledge, 2022) is a concise and highly readable political biography that examines the life of one of the most accomplished American women of the 20th century. Wife and mother, author, editor, playwright, political activist, war journalist, Congresswoman, ambassador, pundit, and feminist—Luce did it all. Carefully placing Luce in a series of shifting historical contexts, this book offers the reader an insight into mid-century American political, cultural, gender, and foreign relations history. Eleven primary sources follow the text, including excerpts from Luce's diary, letters, speeches, and published works, as well as a TV talk-show appearance and a critic's diary entry describing an evening with her, helping readers to understand her fascinating life. Together, the narrative and documents afford readers a brief yet in-depth look at Luce with all her complications: glamorous intellectual, acid-tongued diplomat, and feminist conservative, she was a deeply flawed high-achiever who repeatedly challenged the entrenched sexism of her age to become a significant actor in the rise of the “American Century.” Addressing the neglect suffered by women in foreign relations history, this will be of interest to students and scholars of US foreign relations, 20th-century US history, and US women's history.

Jon Alexander, a Storyteller, Strategist, and Visiting Fellow atHarvard University. Jon started out in advertising and co-founded in 2014 with Irenie Ekkeshis a consultancy, the NewCitizen Project which works with organisations across sectors to explore what it would mean to treat people as citizens, not just consumers. In 2022, he published a book, Citizens, which won numerous book of the year awards, was reviewed by the Financial Times as an “underground hit”, selected by the World Economic Forum for its CEO Book Club.Jon wears a few other hats: as a Visiting Fellow at the University of Manchester, a Senior Associate at the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, a founding member of the OECD's Innovative Citizen Participation Network, and a member of the Advisory Councils of DemocracyNext, the Apolitical Foundation, and the Democracy and Culture Foundation. Jon holds three Masters degrees spanning humanities and business.In this episode, Jon reflects on his journey from advertising to starting a consultancy The New Citizen Project to writing a book and become an author, public speaker and actionist. He reflects on human history as a journey from subject to consumer to citizen. He proposes a definition of citizen as a practice rather than status and as verb as a noun. He explores how storytelling is not only a way to inspire and agitate, but also a form of action. He shares many inspiring stories that can help imagine a citizen future. Jon highlights the value of collaborations especially at the intersections, and invites us to embrace a citizen-centered design approach.To learn more about Jon's work, follow him on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-alexander-11b66345/and check his website: ⁠https://jonalexander.net/⁠Two references he shared with us in the podcast:Using Emergence to Take Social Innovation to ScaleMargaret Wheatley and Deborah FriezeNavigating Societal Change through Designby Sara Gry Striegler and Julie Hjort.Credits:Conception, host and production: Anne-Laure FayardSound design & Post-production: Claudio SilvaMusic & Art Work: Guilhem Tamisier

Speaker: Associate Professor Dora Neo (National University of Singapore)With the advancement of technology, delivery of financial services, such as payment services, can be achieved almost instantaneously. In the area of trade finance, however, banks have been less quick to harness technology for trade digitalisation. An important reason is that trade financing has historically been heavily dependent on the use of paper. While digitisation of trade documents is easily done, the digitalisation of trade finance requires a supportive legal framework to ensure that concepts like possession, which were developed in relation to tangible documents, can operate in the digital world. In the UK, this framework is now provided by the Electronic Trade Documents Act 2023 which has been described to be "one of the most important bills you have never heard of". Singapore instituted a similar framework by amending its Electronic Transactions Act in 2021. These legislative developments were based on the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR), which has gained increasing global influence since its adoption in 2017. This seminar discusses how the landscape of trade financing affects the use of technology, analyses recent legal developments relating to electronic trade documents, and identifies remaining challenges for trade digitalisation.Biography: Dora Neo is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore. She was the founding Director of the Faculty's Centre for Banking & Finance Law, which she led for some ten years from 2013. Her areas of focus include the modernisation of trade finance law, global developments in secured transactions law, consumer protection in the finance industry and contract law. Her publications include Trade Finance: Technology, Innovation and Documentary Credits (co-edited with C Hare, Oxford University Press); The Law and Practice of Documentary Letters of Credit (co-authored with E P Ellinger, Hart Publishing);Secured Transactions Law in Asia: Principles, Perspectives and Reform (co-edited with L Gullifer, Hart Publishing) and Studies in the Contract Laws of Asia V: Ending and Changing Contracts (co-edited with M Chen-Wishart and S Vogenauer, Oxford University Press, forthcoming). In Michaelmas Term 2025, she is an academic visitor at the Cambridge Law Faculty under the sponsorship of the Centre for Corporate and Commercial Law (3CL), and a Visiting Fellow at Wolfson College.3CL runs the 3CL Travers Smith Lunchtime Seminar Series, featuring leading academics from the Faculty, and high-profile practitioners.For more information see the Centre for Corporate and Commercial Law website:http://www.3cl.law.cam.ac.uk/

Why This Episode Is a Must-Listen Can strategic generosity help you thrive, emotionally and financially? In this Inspired Money episode, host Andy Wang brings together an expert panel to explore how acts of giving don't just change communities, but transform your own sense of purpose, happiness, and financial health. If you believe philanthropy is only “about the money,” this episode will give you a whole new perspective and practical strategies to make your giving more impactful. Whether you're an individual donor, family foundation, finance professional, or nonprofit leader, this is packed with actionable advice—and heart. Meet the Expert Panelists Caroline Fiennes is the Founder and Director of Giving Evidence, an organization that promotes evidence-based charitable giving to ensure donations create measurable impact. A Visiting Fellow at Cambridge University and author of It Ain't What You Give, It's the Way That You Give It, she is recognized globally as a “charmingly disruptive” expert on effective philanthropy and has advised leading donors, companies, and foundations worldwide. www.giving-evidence.com Paul G. Schervish is Professor Emeritus of Sociology and former Director of the Center on Wealth and Philanthropy at Boston College, where he pioneered research on the moral, social, and emotional dimensions of wealth and giving. A Fulbright Scholar and five-time honoree on The NonProfit Times “Power and Influence Top 50,” he has shaped how scholars and practitioners understand philanthropy as both a financial and spiritual endeavor. http://www.bc.edu/cwp Yvonne L.

Building an Impactful Philanthropic Portfolio Caroline discusses why giving should be as strategic as any investment. Rather than random donations, align your charitable “portfolio” with your skills and resources—and verify that you're meeting real needs with evidence-based solutions. She advises, "It's important to think about what you have... Money is the most obvious thing, but there can be other things donors bring as well." 2. The Emotional Rewards of Giving Paul reveals that generosity is deeply connected to happiness and meaning. Drawing on Aristotle's concept of “philia”—friendship love—he explains, “The more you feel the people you are looking to help are actually yourself, or people like those whom you love...the greater is your generosity.” Joy comes from connecting your giving to your deepest values. 3. Values-Driven and Relationship-Centered Giving Yvonne urges donors to engage their families and communities—not just write checks. Impact starts with understanding the problems you're trying to solve, ongoing donor education, and building trust with nonprofits. “Philanthropy is not about wealth, it's about worth and how you understand the worth of other people,” she shares. 4. Technology and Financial Planning Tools for Greater Impact  Stephen demystifies donor advised funds and tax-smart strategies, making giving frictionless and empowering donors to commit more, without financial strain. “We want to put a lot of focus on making the transactional frictionless so the relational can flourish,” he says. From bunching to appreciated stock, financial tools are game changers for modern philanthropists. Call-to-Action Inspired Money Challenge: This week, take one intentional action toward generosity: set up a recurring donation, research a charity before giving, or simply give your time to someone who needs support. Do it with purpose, and notice how it makes you feel. Find the Inspired Money channel on YouTube or listen to Inspired Money in your favorite podcast player.

Stéphanie welcomes Os Guinness back again on the Gospel Spice podcast. Os offers his analysis of the critical juncture facing Western civilization, particularly America, and provides a trustworthy framework for Christians to understand and thoughtfully respond to today's unique social, cultural, and political challenges. Os Guinness's recent book, Our Civilizational Moment, gave Stephanie a framework to understand the current news headlines, including the assassination and memorial service of Charlie Kirk, a devoted follower of Jesus who died for his beliefs. She and Os discuss the events as Os provides a uniquely courageous and nuanced perspective. Os urges Christians to think deeply, be courageous, and avoid simple partisanship. He advocates looking back to the biblical foundations—faith, family, education—and promoting them through partnership with like-minded individuals, including Jews. Christian maturity means engaging with nuance, confession, and humility, rather than tribalism or reactionary politics. He also hopes for a significant national conversation and rededication, especially approaching America's 250th anniversary, rooted in prayer, repentance, and recommitment to core biblical principles. THE CONVERSATION MORE IN DEPTH Os Guinness defines the concept of a “civilizational moment,” which is a critical point in a civilization's history when its foundational principles are either renewed, replaced, or lost, leading to decline. For the West, this moment involves deciding whether to return to its Judeo-Christian roots or continue on a path shaped by secular Enlightenment thought and radical ideologies. Every civilization faces a time when it must choose—renew what made it great, replace it with something else, or decline and fall. Os describes four major “waves” or movements currently undermining the West from within: ·         The Red Wave: Rooted in cultural Marxism, this movement has transitioned from economic revolution to influencing culture and institutions over decades. ·         The Rainbow Wave: The sexual revolution, driven not just by recent pop culture but by deep philosophical roots aiming to overturn centuries of Judeo-Christian and Jewish values about humanity and sexuality. ·         The Black Wave: Radical Islamism, which has allied itself with the other movements to destabilize Western civilization. ·         The Gold Wave : A nod to economic and technological factors, less emphasized during the conversation, but brilliantly explained in the book. Os explains their convergence—especially the surprising alliance between radical left movements and Islamism—as an effort to dismantle the traditional Western order. These movements often work together, despite their differences, because they share a goal of undermining the Christian-influenced foundations of Western civilization. Guinness reminds listeners that the West owes its structure to the Christian faith, rooted in Judaism. Other influences (Greek, Roman) contributed, but it was the biblical worldview—especially covenantal thinking from the Old Testament—that shaped institutions and ideals. A loss of conviction in these roots leads to confusion about identity and direction, both culturally and politically. America in particular is experiencing: ·         Ideological Polarization: A deep divide between visions anchored either in the American Revolution (biblical) or the French Revolution (secular, Enlightenment). ·         Institutional Polarization: Growing distrust between elites and ordinary citizens. ·         Crisis of Words: The breakdown of truthful, respectful communication, leading to increased violence and mistrust. Os cautions against seeking solutions purely through power or politics, whether from the left or right. Both extremes, if detached from biblical truth and justice, are dangerous. Hope is found in trusting God, returning to biblical truth, and joining together, beyond politics, to seek the good of society and witness to the gospel. Our  “civilizational moment” requires discernment, wisdom, and Christ-centered courage. Christians are called to be salt and light—engaging culture thoughtfully, grounded in truth, and seeking both the renewal of their nation and the flourishing of humanity worldwide. Os helps us identify the key cultural forces at play, and explore how Christians can wisely and courageously navigate this pivotal time. MORE ABOUT “OUR CIVILIZATIONAL MOMENT” Purchase the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Our-Civilizational-Moment-Waning-Worlds/dp/B0DL3LW558/  Where do you find the great civilizations of the world? In ruins, in museums, and in history books. Each one in its time rose, flourished, and then declined and fell. Is the West facing its own civilizational moment today? A civilizational moment is a critical transition phase in the rise, course, and decline of a civilization when a civilization loses its decisive connection with the dynamic that inspired it. Such a moment must then issue in one of three broad options: a renewal of the dynamic that inspired the civilization in the first place, a successful replacement of the original dynamic by another, or the decline of the civilization. In sum, the issue for a civilization in a civilizational moment is its vision of ultimate reality: Is the civilization in living touch with the ideas, ideals, and inspiration that created it in the first place and that it needs to continue to flourish? Or, with its roots severed, is it destined to decline and die? Guinness's analysis is wide-ranging and hard-hitting, but he ends with hope. This book is for all who care about the state of the world, who strive for a human-friendly future, and who are ready to make a stand for what matters. MORE ABOUT OS GUINNESS Os Guinness is an author and social critic. Great-great-great grandson of Arthur Guinness, the Dublin brewer, he was born in China in World War Two where his parents were medical missionaries. A witness to the climax of the Chinese revolution in 1949, he was expelled with many other foreigners in 1951 and returned to Europe where he was educated in England.

One of the first recorded examples of a marriage ceremony is dated more than four thousand years ago in Mesopotamia. And it seems that through the ages, weddings have never lost their appeal. The global wedding industry is today worth billions of dollars, and it's one that keeps on growing.While aspects of weddings differ across many cultures, they celebrate the coming together of two people in a form of contract which establishes rights within the couple. Historically, marriages were often economic, legal and social tools; the love aspect that some marriage ceremonies came to represent was developed much later.Iszi Lawrence investigates how weddings have changed over time with a panel of expert guests, including Dr Vicki Howard, Visiting Fellow in the Department of History at the University of Essex (UK) and the author of Brides, Inc.: American Weddings and the Business of Tradition; wedding planner Marie Haverly, Deputy Head of the Business School and senior lecturer in event management at the University of Winchester in the UK; and wedding photographer Shanaya Arora, one half of Nitin Arora Photography which she founded with her husband. Shanaya is also the host of WED FM India, a podcast all about weddings.Produced by Fiona Clampin for BBC World Service.(Photo: Comet and Phakalane Mmisi, dance just after they were married, Johannesburg, South Africa, 11 July 2008.

Will Sentance, Founder at Codesmith and Visiting Fellow at Oxford University, explores why empathy is a foundational skill in engineering. He explains how empathetic interactions are core to building software, teams, and the trust necessary to scale tech-based companies. Will reflects on Codesmith's mission to empower people through thoughtful communication in a non-hierarchical learning environment. He describes how empathy, as a relational tool, expands technologists' critical communication capabilities driving clarity and collaboration, propelling their careers.     TAKEAWAYS     [00:26] Will is drawn to the intersection of analytical and intuitive disciplines from early education.   [01:45] Will feels a deep sense of possibility through his PPE studies and aims to pass that on.   [03:05] A mentor at Oxford influences Will's brief foray into international relations at the UN.   [04:30] Not suited to be an employee, Will seeks autonomy and creative power in software engineering.   [06:00] Will finds software to be materially satisfying and empowering as a pathway to opportunity.     [07:20] A surprising response to an early JavaScript workshop reveals his teaching clarity.   [08:15] Struggling to understand complex concepts helps Will become a better educator.   [09:30] Codesmith is founded to be an alternative path to power by mastering technology.   [10:20] Teaching coding is not just technical but an empowerment vehicle for long-term careers.   [11:40] Thoughtful communication at CodeSmith recognizes others' knowledge and emotional states.   [13:00] Empathy is about adapting communication to another person's experience.   [14:30] Coding success requires explaining systems clearly—communication is as vital as code.   [16:10] Leaders like Sam Altman show that technical communication drives modern tech leadership.   [17:45] CodeSmith uses pair programming to instill empathy through precise verbal technical articulation.   [19:00] Empathy begins with self-understanding and is trained through iterative collaboration.   [20:20] Breaking down code for others builds resilience and fosters a capacity to learn continuously.   [21:45] How different learning speeds and imposter syndrome are combatted by sharing struggles.   [23:00] Codesmith instructors are alumni because lived experience cultivates trust and relatability with students.   [24:20] Will's Oxford Fellowship explores how certain skills drive opportunity in an AI-transformed job market.   [25:50] The real skill is learning how to learn and explain complex ideas using unfamiliar tools.   [27:15] Codesmith interviews measure communication, problem-solving, and how applicants handle the unknown.   [28:30] The focus is on cultivating capacities, not just teaching frameworks or programming languages.   [29:40] Engineers and non-technical people alike must build clear, empathetic communication skills.   [30:55] Workshops for non-programmers empower leaders to engage confidently with technical concepts.   [32:00] Empathetic leadership respects team members' potential rather than relying on rules-bound oversimplification.   [34:20] Scaling AI must be matched with scaling human trust across teams and organizations.   [36:00] Will warns against systems that machines understand but humans cannot, which risks alienation.   [37:30] Open-source tools preserve accessibility and transparency in a fast-moving tech landscape.   [38:45] Many leaders are not engaging with AI tools, missing key learning and leadership opportunities.   [40:10] Building the engineering mindset—problem-solving and communication—without coding.   [41:30] Struggle is not a problem in learning; it is the engine of understanding and growth.   [42:40] Empathetic development depends on trusted relationships and cannot be scaled without sincere human investment.   [44:00] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Deep learning happens through struggle which takes place in trust-based environments, so build trusting relationships to facilitate learning.     RESOURCES   Will Sentence on LinkedIn Codesmith's website     QUOTES   "The hardest part of coding isn't writing code—it's explaining code to others so that they can also either build it, understand it, or write it themselves." "Struggle is not a bug—it's the engine of growth." "We train empathy like nothing else in the program. We train it through pair programming." "You can't scale trust with AI. You need humans to scale trust." "We've even called it empathetic engineering at times. One of the principles of Codesmith is grow others even before yourselves." "It is not how vibey you are. It is not how chummy you are. It's pure and simply, can you precisely walk through based on the understanding of another person?" "Breaking something down means that I can have clarity about how I'm thinking about it, and therefore I can then build it up for you." "Struggle-based growth depends on someone else saying, ‘You're important to me enough that I'm going to invest in you.'”

Dazed, bruised and confused. That's how leaders of global automakers and suppliers operating in China feel these days. Since 2020, they have seen their once formidable China sales and profit machines vanish. As a group global automakers will sell 8 million fewer vehicles in China this year than they did in 2020. Eight million! People at headquarters are asking some tough questions: Where did things go wrong? And could it have been avoided? This is where a person with years of first-hand experience in China becomes valuable. Meet Mitch Presnick, a visiting fellow at Harvard and before that, the founder of the Super 8 Motel franchise in China. Mitch knows China and gives it to us straight. The Chinese are not boy scouts, he reminds us. It's necessary to negotiate super hard, and to keep negotiating even when you think the job is done. Sounds exhausting, right? Well, that's the bar for survival in China –  for Chinese people just as much as for foreigners.  In today's conversation, Mitch lets us know what's required to compete and recommend tools that will serve us well not only in China but in dealing with Chinese businesses as they go global.
