SUMMARY:Representing YSI voices in the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies 62 (SB62) in Bonn\, Germany
DESCRIPTION:With this Project\, we take a massive step to contribute to YSI’s long-standing mission to bridge the world of ideas with real-world systems. \nRooted in the spirit of open inquiry and interdisciplinary collaboration\, YSI of INET empowers young scholars to critically and constructively engage with both theory and practice. To strengthen this mission\, building on the strategic past engagements of YSI with the UN Rio Conventions\, namely UNFCCC: United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change\, YSI members will join the UNFCCC SB62 meeting in Bonn\, Germany\, in mid-June 2025. \nBuilding on our prior COP-focused activities – especially the first edition of the YSI COP for the UNFCCC COP Workshop\, which took place in Warsaw\, Poland\, from 4 to 7 November in the run-up to COP29. The workshop had the participation of fifteen scholars and practitioners in a two-day of negotiation simulation\, a farm visit\, and the preparation of a final YSI message that members of the Community brought to the grounds of COP29 in Azerbaijan. – this Project represents a strategic step in embedding the YSI Community within the policy-making landscape. Our goal is to deepen our collective understanding of climate negotiations and contribute meaningfully to the road toward COP30. This effort follows our recent webinar series\, “Why do climate negotiations fail? From different points of view”\, and will precede the 2nd Edition of our “YSI COP for the UN Rio Conventions” Workshop. \nAttending SB62 allows us to create continuity\, connecting academic curiosity with policy relevance. It opens space for future generations of young scholars to explore how research can shape and be shaped by global climate governance. In doing so\, we position YSI as a vibrant\, globally-minded network capable of informing policy beyond the walls of academia\, actively engaging with and having a positive impact on global policymaking by informing it with the latest scientific research.

SUMMARY:YSI Workshop on Structural Change\, Inequality\, and Growth
DESCRIPTION:Overview \nThe intersection of structural change and income inequality has become an increasingly important area of research\, particularly as developing countries undergo growth\, sectoral transformation\, and technological change. While there is some cohesion within specific research circles\, the work on the intersection of structural change and income inequality remains somewhat fragmented. This event aims to bring together researchers working on the link between the two topics to help foster a more cohesive research agenda\, contributing to a deeper understanding of how sectoral transformation influences inequality in both developing and developed countries. \nWhy Participate \nThis event offers a unique opportunity to connect with peers\, including PhD students\, post-doctoral researchers\, and established scholars\, all working on the intersection of structural change and inequality. Participants will have the chance to receive valuable feedback on their work\, engage in enriching discussions\, and explore potential collaborations. It’s an excellent platform for networking\, exchanging ideas\, and refining research through interactions with both early-career and senior scholars. Furthermore\, the event provides an opportunity to contribute to the development of a more cohesive and broader research community in this important field. \nThemes \n\nDecompositions of income inequality [keynote session]\n\nDecomposition techniques to explore drivers of inequality\, including in combination with microsimulation and nowcasting techniques.\n\n\nTechnological change and income inequality: automation\, new technologies\, and the future of work\n\nExploring the relationship between technological advancements\, in particular automation related to new technologies\, and their implications for income distribution and labour market dynamics.\n\n\nSectoral transformation and income inequality: Kuznets curve/waves\n\nExamining how shifts in economic sectors impact inequality with a focus on the relevance of Kuznets’ framework in today’s economies.\n\n\nEconomic complexity and income inequality\n\nInvestigating how diversification and technological sophistication affects the distribution of income.\n\n\nMacroeconomics\, growth\, and income inequality: sectoral composition of consumption\n\nAnalysing the role of sectoral patterns of consumption in shaping macroeconomic growth and their influence on income inequality within and across countries.\n\n\n\nActivities \n\nKeynote session on the use of microsimulation and decomposition techniques to understand drivers of inequality\nSessions with paper presentations by senior speakers and selected participants\nYSI session on research publication with journals\nCoffee breaks\, light lunch (second day)\, and social dinner (first day)\n\nEligibility \nPhDs\, postdocs\, and research scholars\, based mainly in Europe but also elsewhere. \nFees and application \nThere is no registration fee for participation in the workshop.

SUMMARY:History\, Histories and Historians: Reflecting on Legacies and New Directions in Zimbabwe’s Historiography
DESCRIPTION:Over the past decade\, historians of Zimbabwe have lost some influential colleagues who shaped both the content of the country’s historiography and its contemporary discourses. In association with the Britain Zimbabwe Society (BZS)\, the Journal of Southern African Studies (JSAS)\, will be convening a two-day event in Oxford between 20 and 21 June 2025 to reflect on ‘history\, histories and historians in the making of Zimbabwe’s past’. It will explore the current state of Zimbabwean historiography; key institutional bases for doctoral supervision\, training and mentorship; practices\, methods and power relations in the production of history; the central questions for earlier generations; emerging and novel themes and perspectives; and the re-centring of the study of Zimbabwean history in the twenty-first century.  In this space\, there will be opportunities to explore and engage with scholars and scholarship on Zimbabwean historiography from social\, and economic to political histories. We are proposing a partnership between JSAS and BZS as YSI (AFRICA and ECONOMIC THOUGHT) and bringing young scholars to witness and participate in this scholarly engagement. This is a space where scholars will reflect on recent and changing trends in Zimbabwean historiography. The question to be explored is: Are the questions that have dominated historiography over the last fifty years\, since Ranger’s Revolt (1967) still the central issues? Many historians who wrote political and economic histories during the liberation struggle were influenced by it. In turn\, their view of the past helped to inform elements of the struggle. Is there a need to reassess critical anti-colonial analyses?  Should issues of economic history and development\, such as migrant labour\, urbanisation\, and rural poverty be re-addressed?  What new themes are being taken up by historians in the twenty-first century\, and since the fast-track land reform? How should we assess the influence of broader\, global influences on historical writing\, especially in view of the widening range of institutions that provide a base for academics from Zimbabwe\, and those writing about Zimbabwe? Focusing on the multiple centres of Zimbabwean historical research and the diverse mentorships\, collaborations and networks involved\, this workshop and the resulting JSAS special issue will examine these genealogies\, exploring how and why the current generation is moving beyond the well-established themes of the liberation and early independence eras\, how they are building upon\, expanding and challenging these approaches and pointing to silences and gaps.   The workshop and special issue will partly reflect on the legacies of Ngwabi Bhebhe and Terence Ranger and the continuing work of practising senior historians such as Alois Mlambo\, Ian Phimister\, Joseph Mtisi\, Allan Isaacman\, Sandra Swart\, and others. However\, when conversations about Zimbabwe’s historiography take place\, they rarely give full attention to emerging scholarship. As is all too evident\, the most dangerous thing in history is the persistence of a single story. \nApplication start date to be announced soon! Be on the lookout.

SUMMARY:Navigating Uncertainty: Geopolitical Risks and the path to Clean Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:The clean energy transition in developing countries faces significant geopolitical and structural challenges\, compounded by resource scarcity\, political instability\, and global economic inequalities. Africa\, despite contributing less than 4% of global emissions\, disproportionately suffers from climate change\, with 600 million people lacking energy access and receiving under 3% of global renewable energy investment. The continent relies heavily on external financing and resources like cobalt from the conflict-ridden Democratic Republic of the Congo\, heightening dependency and inequality. Similarly\, Asia\, responsible for 44% of global emissions\, needs $2 trillion annually to achieve net-zero by 2050. The region’s transition is hindered by reliance on critical mineral supply chains dominated by China and regional geopolitical tensions\, which amplify vulnerabilities for countries like Indonesia and the Philippines\, key nickel producers facing political and environmental risks. \nWe need to reopen the debate on managing these risks by focusing on targeted investment\, fostering regional cooperation\, diversifying supply chains\, and developing innovative financing models to guarantee a fair and comprehensive shift to clean energy. This debate marks a crucial step toward navigating the clean energy transition amid geopolitical uncertainties. \nThe proposed session\, “Navigating Uncertainty: Geopolitical Risks and the Path to Clean Energy Transition\,” will explore the multifaceted aspects of economic\, social\, political\, and environmental challenges. The session will discuss viable policies\, their socio-economic and political economy impacts\, as well as general issues related to geopolitical risks and green transition. \n  \nProject objectives: \n\nFacilitate the sharing of knowledge\, experiences\, and best practices among researchers\, entrepreneurs\, policymakers\, and professionals.\nPromote networking and collaboration among stakeholders to strengthen the inclusive green energy transition collaboration ecosystem.\nGenerate new insights to inform academic research\, green economy practices\, and policy formulation.\nInspire actions to support and promote the green energy transition led by young researchers across multiple disciplines.\n\n  \nWho can apply and how: \nWe welcome submissions from the young scholars\, masters and PhD students\, early career scholars\, and postdoctoral fellows by submitting an extended abstract of 500 words. We look forward to supporting the travel and accommodation of selected participants! We are looking for researchers in the United States and Canada working on the following subjects or on other topics related to the theme: \n\n The Role of International Cooperation in Mitigating Geopolitical Risks for Clean Energy Transition\n\n\n\n\nThis entails investigating how multinational alliances and collaborations might address energy security challenges while supporting global renewable energy projects.\n\n\n\n\n Balancing Energy Security and Sustainability in an Era of Geopolitical Tensions\n\n\n\n\nThis includes debating strategies that will guarantee a stable energy supply while shifting from fossil fuels to renewables in the face of global uncertainty.\n\n\n\n\n The Impact of Geopolitical Conflicts on Clean Energy Supply Chains\n\n\n\n\nThis encompasses investigating how geopolitical events impede crucial resource supply required for renewable energy technology such as batteries and solar panels.\n\n\n\n\n Geopolitics of Critical Minerals: Navigating Resource Nationalism in the Clean Energy Era\n\n\n\n\nThis includes investigating the increasing competitiveness for rare earth elements and its consequences for renewable energy development.\n\n\n\n\n Policy Innovations to Mitigate Geopolitical Risks in Clean Energy Investments\n\n\n\n\nThis requires assessing regulatory frameworks and financial tools designed to safeguard renewable energy projects in politically vulnerable places.\n\n\n\n  \nSubmitted papers should adhere to the conference’s author guidelines. Applicants can also apply to be considered for a travel and accommodation scholarship from the YSI management. Also note that applicants are expected to pay WEAI conference fees (available at: https://www.weai.org/events/100th-annual-conference).

SUMMARY:Canadian Bank Whistleblower Solution to Identity Theft
DESCRIPTION:Canadian Bank Whistleblower Solution to Identity Theft\n\nTony Crawford is a Canadian bank system Whistleblower since 2017 and longtime advocate to criminalize confidence tricks that steal title to property and money from private and public bank accounts. He tabled a Private Members Bill discussed with his MP Anita Anand on Canadian radio in 2021 when identity theft and money laundering became federal election issues to vote to change Canadian law in 2025.\n\nIdentity Theft deceives in various ways\, but the common factor is money\, often passed through a bank. This Webinar reviews ‘Dirty Money’ from Queen’s University Professor Christian Leuprecht that Canada is the go to place for criminal banking money laundering capital of the world in 2023.\n\nCrawford illustrates computer technology how to digitize law in bank system design focused on forensics to fix accounting errors in Canadian banks proven in breach of US anti-money laundering law fined billions of dollars in 2024. It is a similar to the Bates versus Post Office story of wrongful prosecutions of UK sub-postmasters in the Horizon affair in the news in 2025.\n\nThis study recommends a bank transaction control number is required to automate suspicious activity reports to remedy the problem. Especially\, Ponzi schemes that convert worthless paper to cash through taxation. Namely\, twice paid tax-credit Windbills hidden from the Treasury not reported in the budget known as Magna Carta loophole gullible taxpayer law.
