Sociologist Dr Balihar Sanghera has been made a visiting scholar at the leading US research institution, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington DC.

He has been awarded the George F. Kennan fellowship for three months with the goal to examine how major global powers use development strategies to compete and struggle for their vision and goals in Central Asia.

The study will explore in particular how Russia, China and Saudi Arabia contest the dominance of Western development and financial institutions, putting in place alternative visions of economic, political and normative development, thereby affecting US relationship with Central Asia and its support for liberal capitalism and democracy in the region. During the stay at the Wilson Center, Dr Balihar Sanghera (SSPSSR) and Dr Elmira Satybaldieva (Politics and IR) plan to conduct interviews with US state officials and Chinese experts in Washington DC.

The week commencing 2nd October is Liftshare week, and here at the University of Kent we are encouraging as many people as possible to sign up for Liftshare and find someone to share with.

While liftsharing has many benefits by itself, we’re also offering a great incentive for everyone who tries out Liftshare over the course of Liftshare Week.

在9月25日和10月15日之间进行的任何人访问的人之间https://liftshare.com/uk/community/unishare和sends a message or a share request will be entered into a prize draw to win £250. And because we want to celebrate those of you already sharing, anyone already in a Liftshare team will be automatically entered, too.

你每天都没有举起升起，甚至每周共享一次，有一个有很大的不同。你会感到惊讶的是，随着时间的推移增加了多少;我们正在谈论金融储蓄（司机可以通过分享恢复最高100％的燃料成本），并降低碳足迹和降低拥堵和停车压力。此外，您可能会产生一些很好的新连接！

您可以在Liftshare网站上阅读比赛的TS和CS。https://liftshare.com/uk/other/terms#liftshare-week-terms

比较文学系的副讲师埃格曼·埃文里夫议员刚刚发表了一本题为从尼采到德里达（Palgrave，2017）的哲学疯狂的新书。

疯狂，哲学和自传之间的联系，安吉洛斯的书籍解决了Nietzsche的疯狂可能影响他后来作品的问题。它还探讨了Nietzsche在Nietzsche的大陆哲学对疯狂迷上的原因，以及它（重新）考虑的方式，（重新）评估和（重新）Valorises Madness。

To answer these questions, the book analyses the work of three major figures in twentieth-century French philosophy who were significantly influenced by Nietzsche: Bataille, Foucault and Derrida, examining the ways in which their responses to Nietzsche’s madness determine how they understand philosophy as well as philosophy’s relation to madness.

出于这种与疯狂问题的接触，出现了“自传哲学”的新概念，这需要将这种脆弱的受试者插入到哲学工作中，这些哲学家以不同方式遵守或抗拒。

David Garbin博士被授予英国学院城市和基础设施方案的补助金，这是英国政府的15亿英镑全球挑战研究基金（GCRF）的一部分。

Through the project Dr Garbin will explore the links between mega-urbanisation, development and religion in Central and West African contexts. This work addresses one of the most pressing challenges of contemporary African mega-cities: how to tackle social, moral, strategic and economic issues raised by often spectacular processes of religious urbanisation.

在刚果的尼日利亚和金沙萨（撒哈拉以南非洲撒哈拉以南非洲的城市最具增长最快的城市）以LAGOS夺取LAGOS，该项目将探讨宗教社会空间模型和策略如何与基础设施发展，城市社会凝聚力和城市社会凝聚力的挑战互动包含，安全和可持续性。该项目将提供旨在在宗教行动者在宗教行动者发挥显着基础设施角色的城市的不平等，城市贫困和广泛的生活方面的背景下促进公民城市文化的建议。

Altogether the Academy will support thirteen interdisciplinary research projects, with awards of up to £300,000 each.

The overall aim of the British Academy programme is to ensure that the best UK research across the disciplinary spectrum takes a leading role in addressing the challenges of creating and maintaining sustainable and resilient cities in developing countries.

根据该计划资助的研究项目将产生证据，以告知未来的政策和干预措施，旨在通过使城市更具包容性，安全，弹性和可持续的城市来改善发展中国家人民的生命和福利。

阿米林教授，英国学院外交秘书和副总统，将可持续的城市化描述为“当代世界的主要和压力挑战之一”，并强调了对跨学科研究的需求。更多信息可以在英国学院找到网站。
