For centuries, Western powers have sought to ‘fix’ African economies. Shortlisted for the 2025 British Academy Book Prize, Bronwen Everill's Africonomics traces how these interventions have repeatedly failed to deliver, and highlights Africa’s own approaches to economic life: https://bit.ly/47aBrcJ

If you haven't heard from me in a while, it's because I've been working on this👇 - a truly global workshop on solidarity activism, which is taking place in Malmö this week. Come for the inspiring work of colleagues from round the world; stay for the venue's truly gaudy Olof Palme statue.

How to Win a Referendum on Europe: 1975, 2016 and ...?
Join the Sir Edward Heath Charitable Foundation and the Mile End Institute to explore what we can learn from the 1975 and 2016 referendums.
On 10 June, we'll be marking 50 years since the 1975 referendum & 5 years since leaving the EU by asking what we can learn from Britain's two referendums on Europe - and what lessons they hold for the future.
With Sara Hobolt, Anand Menon, Maria Sobolewska & me!
