Sustainability Matters
Sustainability Matters (formerly Humanities Matter)—produced by De Gruyter Brill—takes a deep dive into sustainability in scholarly communications and beyond. The podcast explores topics such as promoting diverse voices and marginalized perspectives in academia, the global accessibility of research, research ethics, combatting misinformation and more. Sustainability Matters features experts, advocates, practitioners, and De Gruyter Brill authors whose work on ethical and sustainable practices breaks boundaries, builds new bonds, and shapes a better future. Join us as we explore how we can shape a more equitable and accessible future for knowledge sharing—because sustainability truly matters, in scholarly publishing, and beyond.
Sustainability Matters
A Changing World Order in the 21st Century
This month on Humanities Matter, we talk about the need for space laws to include laws governing cybersecurity, data privacy, and war; role of capitalism in the West’s Covid-19 fatalities; and the precarity of certain types of labour in the Global South.
All this and more with the Volume Editors of Brill’s Space Law in a Networked World and Global Rupture: Neoliberal Capitalism and the Rise of Informal Labour in the Global South, along with the author of F/Ailing Capitalism and the Challenge of Covid-19—which is part of our long-standing series on Studies in Critical Social Sciences.
