GLOBE Event: Is the Global Debt System Fit for Our Future?
S2.09

Speaker: Leo Fabbri

More than three billion people live in countries where debt payments exceed spending on healthcare and education. The Covid-19 Pandemic exposed deep debt vulnerabilities in developing economies, leading to debt defaults. Today, rising interest rates, geopolitical tensions, disrupted trade, and climate change intensify these challenges.

This seminar explores the political economy of sovereign debt and asks: Is the international community equipped to manage growing default risks, or is reform needed? By examining proposals from governments, civil society, and academia, we will consider how to create a more sustainable and transparent global debt system.

Generative AI and its disruptive effect on traditional pedagogic practices
Online

Part of WLS Teaching Network Seminar Series.

Speaker: Dr Martin Compton (KCL)

Generative AI disrupts traditional pedagogic practices, assessment methods and conventional notions of validity, effectiveness and value, leaving us somewhere on a continuum from outright rejection to enthusiastic embrace. In this talk, I explore a more nuanced middle path—one that acknowledges both the significant challenges and the many legitimate, if sometimes controversial, applications—inviting colleagues to walk the tightrope with me in this rapidly evolving landscape.
