Sad to read that my favourite political podcast will end in its current guise. I will miss the mix of analysis and smut. But, as an academic, glad to hear a great appointment in the area of skills, further & higher education.
On behalf of the Long Run Institute, we congratulate Sir Niall Ferguson, a friend of the LRI, on his elevation to the knighthood in the King's birthday honours. So well deserved. @Dr_LBM@ProfJohnTurner@judyzara hat tip to @yuanyi_z where we first read it!
@WorldSummitAI Good presentation on situating AI in context... and history is the springboard for the discussion. "Data is the new oil" is a gr8 slogan, but history shows resource metaphors can be misleading. Oil fueled industrial revolutions, but data's impact is more nuanced. @LongInitiative
Advancing AI in financial services - where Canada stands - a very specific angle of vision - course and speed are critical also @globalriskfs @LongInitiative @BMO @RBC (source presentation by Dr Agrafioti at #wsai2024 happening now.
@RANDCorporation@JasonGMatheny The AI governance challenge is a crowded space - it's a gold rush out there reminiscent of early days of past transformations. @RANDCorporation's deep understanding and methods - constantly nnovating them - is clear "signal" amidst noise. Thank you @JasonGMatheny@LongInitiative
Next week we will be hosting Robin Adams at BC Irish Studies!
On Wednesday, February 7 at 4 PM he will give a public seminar in Connolly House
Titled after his new monograph, 'Shadow of a Taxman', Adams' seminar will discuss who funded the Irish Revolution
My review of Adams' book on the finances of the Irish Revolution is out in the Journal of Economic History - https://t.co/oqeHxJYZ0I
Fascinating account of how a nascent state must construct its own credit (goodwill) at home and abroad to gain financial sovereignty.
I head to Pretoria today to give a keynote at the @AfEconHis conference. I am really looking forward to my visit. I don’t think I’ll mention the rugby….
Are you near Dublin on September 7th?
Come and join us for the double launch of 1) our new trailblazing centre for economic history @ceph_ie AND 2) the book launch of my "Nationalist Dilemma" 🥳
All history is contemporary, but none is of more contemporary relevance than ours!
