Exploring Our Automated Futures

The University of Stirling is hosting an exploration of the ways in which work and life is increasingly entangled with data and AI. This event is geared towards workers and citizens interested in finding out more about the ways in which they are ‘surveilled’ and ‘surveilling’ in workplaces and society at large. AI expertise is not required! Insightful robust discussions across sectors may also give participants a way to spark similar informed debate in their own contexts as activism, advocacy, or professional learning. A resource package will be available post-event to facilitate this engagement. NB this is a hybrid event with both ace-to-face and online attendance options.

CR&DALL Seminar Series 2024-25: Peace, Security and Education in Russia – What do youth learn and how do teachers feel about it?

International rankings place Russia close to the bottom of indices for both peacefulness and democracy, despite opinion polls and surveys showing that the general public embraces democratic ideals. Education at all levels from school to lifelong learning plays a key role in establishing norms and aspirations for peace, security and democracy. Join speakers Yulia Nesterova and Daria Khanolaine for an interactive seminar including presentation and discussion of key insights and reflections from a research project that focussed on education, peace, and security in Russia.

This event is supported by CR&DALL and the British Association for Comparative International Education. It is open to everyone and free of charge.
