  • How space (law) works
    Mar 22 2022

    Space exploration used to be a race between national space agencies like NASA and Roscosmos (Russia), but the private sector dominates the field today. How can we establish regulations in outer space that apply to both governments and private companies? Can Elon Musk create his own country on Mars? In this cosmic interview with Anass Hanafi Dali, we discuss space law, Martian tax havens and how Russia shooting down their own satellites could lead to WWIII.

     

    Anass specializes in Space Law, he is a member of the Global Shaper community of the World Economic Forum, a fellow at the German Marshall Fund and most importantly a member of the Space Law and Policy group of the Space Generation Advisory Council.

  • How This is Gendered
    Mar 8 2022

    Sinks, Google Maps and public spaces. Could they be made more accessible and inclusive if approached with a gendered view? Inspired by the thought that “everything is political”, Alina Karlsen and Tess de Rooij claim that “everything is gendered”. To prove this claim, in the summer of 2020, they started working on the first feminist encyclopedia – THIS IS GENDERED. We explore how gender and feminism affect our daily lives, what “gendered” means to them, and the role of gender in politics.
