Fascinating meeting: Modi with his entire foreign policy team (including the External Affairs Minister), while Elon Musk shows up with his kids.
Wonder what the men in suits are thinking?

📚The last day of #BeEx2024 has pleased with a launch of a book “Insidious Capital”, which explores “value and #values” in what may well be the last phase of #capitalist #globalization.

Are we seeing the last phase of capitalist globalisation? Eye-opening discussion on fast transforming social spaces at #BeEx2024 🙌

@MSlavkovik @asunstclair @victoria_shmidt #ResearchAgenda for the next decade should focus on the issue of #inequality and the role of #law in both driving and addressing #marginalization. This session, in collaboration with @GRIPInequality, set the stage for the next decade of transformative research on inequality.

Day 4 of #BeEx2024 has started🎉

📚 It started with a roundtable “#Humanitarian politics: 
between #state and #corporate interests, #technology and #law” which served as a launch of Kristin Bergtora Sandvik’s book “Humanitarian Extractivism - The Digital Transformation of #Aid”

[LawTransform @LawTransform]

@MSlavkovik @asunstclair 🎬The next panel – “Film as politics”.

This roundtable explored how films, whether overtly #political or not, can shift mindsets and expand #rights (or reinforce #stigma)

Håkon Tveit (BIFF and UiB), Helena Alviar (Sciences Po, Paris), and Victoria Schmidt (University of Graz).

[Satang Nabaneh Cham @DrSatangNabaneh]

How should people concerned about attacks on democracy consider the importance of supporting institutions that uphold democracy, beyond just focusing on individual rights?
