Proving the Negative (PTNPod): Swanning About in Cyber Security

Embed

Join us as we explore how to describe trust, reputation and messiness using maths!

This week we're talking with Sean about how she translates the chaos of human relationships and interaction into precise, machine-readable descriptions. We learn why networks are useful for mapping out who (or what) is sharing information and building reputation.

Sean’s main interest lies in describing social phenomena with mathematical and computational concepts. Her current focus is on trust (interactions with potentially risky parties) and reputation (sharing opinions on how risky a party is). Primarily, she studies how delays in information sharing can be exploited by malicious parties and how to prevent this.

Rwanda and refoulement: Can the 1951 Refugee Convention survive?

Series

The Migration Oxford Podcast

Embed

In this episode of the Migration Oxford Podcast, we ask if the 1951 Refugee Convention is under attack.

As states look for ways to avoid taking responsibility for refugees and asylum seekers, such as the UK's "Migration and Economic Development Partnership with Rwanda". Is the Convention still the right tool, and how can the protection it offers refugees be improved in an era where global governance of any issue is vexed at best? We speak to Dr Catherine Briddick, Departmental Lecturer in Gender and International Human Rights and Refugee Law at the Refugee Studies Centre at the University of Oxford, and Sabir Zazai Chief Executive of the Scottish Refugee Council to understand both the human and legal implications of the convention and moves by states to circumvent it.

Against Legalizing Female 'Circumcision' of Minors

Series

Uehiro Oxford Institute

Embed

In this St Cross Special Ethics Seminar, Dr Brian Earp argues that all medically unnecessary genital cutting of non-consenting persons should be opposed on moral and legal grounds.

Defenders of male circumcision increasingly argue that female ‘circumcision’ (ritual cutting of the clitoral hood or labia) should be legally allowed in Western liberal democracies even when non-consensual. In a recent article, Richard Shweder (2021) gives perhaps the most persuasive articulation of this argument to have so far appeared in the literature. In my own work, I argue that no person should be subjected to medically unnecessary genital cutting of any kind without their own informed consent, regardless of the sex characteristics with which they were born or the religious or cultural background of their parents. Professor Shweder and I agree that Western law and policy on child genital cutting is currently beset with cultural, religious, and sex-based double-standards. We disagree about what should be done about this. In this talk, I argue that ‘legalizing’ childhood female genital cutting so as to bring it into line with current treatment of childhood male genital cutting is not an acceptable solution to these problems. Instead, all medically unnecessary genital cutting of non-consenting persons should be opposed equally on moral and legal grounds and discouraged by all appropriate means.

The Quill Project Conventions Podcast

In this episode, Grace talks to Dr Jim Ambuske, digital historian in residence at the Washington Library in Mount Vernon, Virginia, about his extensive work in digital legal history.

Legal history is a daunting topic for many scholars, especially if they lack formal training in the law. But legal treatises, court records, and other remnants of historical legal systems can offer a broad and deep well of source material to the enterprising researcher. A constellation of digital humanities projects – the Quill Project among them – are attempting to make these sources more easily accessible, and to help historians explore the full range of insights that these records can offer. In this episode, Grace talks to Dr Jim Ambuske, digital historian in residence at the Washington Library in Mount Vernon, Virginia, about his extensive work in digital legal history.
