After Mother's Day brunch my day got a bit crazy, but at least I was able to listen to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist! (1/11)
First was an important panel on eliminating discrimination based on work and descent (including caste) at the Boston Study Group with Paul Divakar, Magda Matache, Adbarahmane Wone, and Rajesh Sampath https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L7Cwyby1zw (2/11)
Next was an interesting talk by Pavel Chakraborty on IP regimes, tech adoption and firm organization at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYBSZt5NyEY (3/11)
Next was an engaging panel on fundamental rights and workplace law in Canada at Western University with Diane Macdonald, Ben Oliphant, and Chris Pigott https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDcOFpkivBc (4/11) #work #unions #law #Canada
Next was a compelling talk by Christoph Riedl on quantifying patterns of success in artistic careers at @SONICNU. Reidl convincingly demonstrates the role of initial conditions in driving future artist visibility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nks6dYxqW_Q (5/11)
Next was a thought-provoking talk by Ronan McCrea on how European law should treat religious expression at work at the UCL Faculty of Laws https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONNkfmSOxrc (6/11) #law
Next was a nice talk by Deirdre Ahern on conceptualizing overreach in the English Corporate Opportunities Doctrine at the Cambridge Faculty of Law https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPVlE6TWnpY (7/11) #law
Next was a compelling talk by Bezwada Wilson on manual scavenging in India and the reality of untouchability at the University of Michigan Center for South Asian Studies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpRNOcvY8nE (8/11) #India
Next was an intriguing talk by Saadi Lahlou on installation theory and the societal construction and regulation of behavior at the LSE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yf1ADf42DsQ (9/11)
Next was a great talk by Emilie Hafner-Burton on secrecy in international investment arbitration at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anuMC2FxXxo (10/11)
Last was an incredible talk by Paolo Quattrone on the historical roots of accounting and its implications for today at CRASSH. Quattrone dives into the importance of accounting throughout history, the genesis of many modern accounting practices, and how that can help us reconceptualize the field. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ0VeuBV9jE (11/11) #history #finance
BONUS! Last was a fascinating talk by Jenny Buchan on the fantasy of franchising at UNSW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2RjWbMXVCM&t=5s
@bwaber Many years ago I worked at McDonald's head office, and as you know for them, Franchises are one more product stream to systemise and optimise. But given they were so good at other aspects of the business, I was never quite sure why they bothered in the UK. I suspect it allowed them to pass on a certain element of risk in some locations, and then you have to honour that relationship with the franchise owner.
Will enjoy this I think.
