Success for LSE students at British Conference for Undergraduate

Two recent graduates from the Department of
Government, George Edwards and Lukas Slothuus, will be representing LSE at
the British Consortium for Undergraduate Research’s annual Posters in
Parliament Exhibition next month, with posters based on their undergraduate
dissertations - ‘Bicameralism and the supranational autonomy of the European
Parliament’ (George Edwards) and ‘Extreme right aesthetics: How the Danish
People’s Party politicises cultural objects’ (Lukas Slothuus) – for the
GV390 Government Dissertation Option course run by Michael Bruter.
Meanwhile, the winning research projects from last year’s
LSE GROUPS have been selected for presentation at the British
Conference for Undergraduate Research’s Nottingham conference in April.
Vincent Harrold and Muriel Levy will be presenting their group’s paper
‘Evaluating the effectiveness of The Big Issue in combating social
exclusion among homeless people in London’ and Rachel Gregory and Jiahui
Ren ‘The impact of social networks: moving on from homelessness’.
Congratulations to all the students involved and to the teachers who
created the opportunities and encouraged them.

LSE - Sciences Po Faculty Mobility Scheme 2014-15
LSE and Sciences Po have been institutional partners for the past decade.
The annual faculty mobility scheme is the newest initiative in our academic collaboration.
The scheme enables faculty to spend at least a month in a host
department at the other institution in order to engage with other students;
to foster networks between colleagues and help wider departmental and institutional interests.
There are two options in the scheme to give maximum flexibility.
- Mode A: shorter visits of one month, whereby visiting faculty deliver
at least eight hours of teaching (or a short course) and spend at least four
hours with PhD students
- Mode B: longer visits of three months, whereby visiting faculty deliver at least 20 hours of teaching, spend at least 10 hours with PhD
students and deliver a departmental or public lecture
Participants will continue to receive their normal salary and a travel grant
from their home institution. They will also receive a subsistence allowance
or salary from the host institution.
The deadline for applications is Wednesday 7 May.

G20 tax haven crackdown fails to catch evaders
An analysis of the G20 crackdown on tax havens has found little economic
benefit in bilateral treaties, with evaders just shifting billions of
dollars to other countries.
Dr Gabriel Zucman, from the London School of Economics and Political
Science and UC-Berkeley, says hundreds of treaties signed by the world’s
major tax havens agreeing to share bank information on request have failed.
The LSE economist claims that modern technology has made it easier for tax
evaders to move funds offshore. Despite tax havens being compelled to sign
treaties in the aftermath of the global financial crisis, figures show that
the agreements have had only a “modest impact” on bank deposits in these
countries.

Human touch still essential for market liquidity and stability at
NYSE
Changes to regulations that secure the role of specialist brokers in
determining stock prices at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are
essential to maintaining market liquidity and stability according to an
academic from LSE.
As of this week, the specialists – the NYSE’s so-called Designated Market
Makers (DMMs) – can share disaggregated and post-trade order information at
their posts with the Exchange’s floor brokers. This is the result of a
ruling by the regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), after
receiving evidence from Dr Daniel Beunza and Professor Yuval Millo, who have
been studying the NYSE since 2003, as well as from the NYSE itself.
Dr Daniel Beunza, an economic sociologist, said: “Our research indicates
that human communication between market makers and floor brokers has a
positive impact on price discovery as it facilitates a more widely shared
understanding of the market. This results in a greater willingness to
transact.”

with.....Chandran Kukathas
I hold the Chair in Political
Theory in the Department of
Government and give the lectures in
GV100: Introduction to Political
Theory. I am quite possibly the most
famous Malaysian-born Australian
libertarian political philosopher of
Sri Lankan Tamil descent working in
North London today.
I came to LSE in 2007 after
spending four years in Salt Lake
City at the University of Utah. I
have moved around all my life. I was
a toddler in Melbourne when my
father spent four years there as a
student. I grew up in Malaysia until
I started High School in Canberra,
where I took BA in History and
Political Science at the Australian
National University. After a five
year absence in Oxford and then
Washington as a doctoral and
postdoctoral student, I returned to
Australia but left again in 2003. A
rootless cosmopolitan, I am a
staunch advocate of open borders.
My best friend at school was from
Portugal and he turned me into a
keen football player; only a
complete lack of ability prevented
me from pursuing a career as a
professional sportsman. Now I keep
fit by sitting in front of the TV
and running to the fridge during
commercial breaks. I watch football,
cricket, movies and re-runs of 'The
Big Bang Theory'. I also write
stories, but have never tried to
publish any of them, though I
occasionally inflict them on friends
and family or people who displease
me.
If you could teach a new
subject at LSE, what would it be and
why?
Anarchism. I may still do it. As
I get older I find myself more
sympathetic to the writers in the
various anarchist traditions, from
anarcho-capitalist (as well as
anti-capitalist) libertarians, to
Tolstoyan pacifists, to Marxians of
different stripes. Especially at a
place like LSE, it would be good to
have greater exposure to ideas that
are critical of the state.
If you could book any guest
speaker for an LSE public event, who
would you choose?
Kazuo Ishiguro. I have always
admired his writing style, and The
Remains of the Day and Never Let Me
Go are two of my favourite modern
novels.
Where in the world have you
always wanted to go but never quite
made it …… yet?
I would like to travel through
India. I have made only two very
short trips there for a few days at
a time, and it was not nearly
enough. I would like to make a
culinary tour of the subcontinent.
What was the first news story
you remember catching your
attention?
The death of Bobby Kennedy. I was
about 11 years old in Kuala Lumpur
and it was big news. I had no idea
exactly who he was, but I remember
talking about it at school.
Are you left or right handed?
Right handed. The left hand is
pretty useless and I keep it purely
for symmetry.
Is there anything you cannot
do and would like to learn?
Sing. I am assured that there is
no chance of this happening and
would describe my voice as scaryoke.

Perfecting your one page pitch - media workshop
How do you pitch a comment piece to a newspaper? Or attract interest
from BBC radio programmers looking for experts to interview? All
research staff and junior academics are invited to a media workshop
which will help them write pitches that stand their ground in the public
arena, justifying themselves in terms of public interest, relevance and
angle.
Radio Producer Dinah Lammiman and David Shariatmadari, Deputy Comment
Editor at The Guardian, will explain what they want to see when
academics pitch to them. This is an opportunity not just to learn
technique, but also to make useful contacts in the media. Last year, research staff
placed comment pieces in The Guardian within weeks of taking the
workshop.
The workshop will run on Wednesday 19 February at 10am-1pm and
lunch is provided.
