The paper explores the legacy of the pandemic for future science-advice policy relationships by investigating how the UK government's engagement with ethical advice is organized institutionally. We provide an analysis of some key ethical moments in the UK Government response to the pandemic, and institutions and national frameworks which exist to provide ethical advice on policy strategies. The paper is one of the outputs of our international research project "Ethic and Expertise in Times of Crisis" (Bielefeld University and Birmingham University).

The Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZIF) at Bielefeld University has decided to fund an international workshop on global philanthropic organizations. The workshop titled "Evidence-based benevolence? The role of philanthropic organizations global public policies" will be chaired by Prof. Dr. Alexandra Kaasch, PD Dr. Marc Mölders, Dr. Evelyn Moser (Bonn), Prof. Dr. Oliver Razum, and Prof. Dr. Holger Straßheim. In areas such as global public health, climate change, or poverty allevitation, philanthropic organizations have become both the providers and proponents of evidence-based policies. The workshop investigates the implications by assembling internationally renowed researchers. What do we know about the impact of evidence-based and data-driven policies on policy decisions? What are the underlying political and epistemic belief systems? What are the consequences for democracy?

The workshop will take place on March 27-29 at the ZIF.

Alejandro Esguerra has just published a new article on "Translating the Anthropocene: Indigenous Activists and Human Rights in infrastructual Projects" in International Studies Review. In this article, he asks how infrastructures responsible for the Climate Crisis become sites of indigenous human rights activism. Activists create new norms mobilizing indigenous cosmologies. Theories of translation allow to explain this constitutive process of norm emergence.

The article is part of a Forum honoring the work of Thomas Risse.

We are pleased to announce the WelfareStruggles Policy Brief Series is now available online. This series is edited by Prof. Minh Nguyen and features short comparative assessments of a number of key issues that characterise the institutional contexts of labour mobility and welfare provision in China and Vietnam. These issues are directly implicated in the politics around the care of the migrant labour force that we are investigating in this project. The Policy Brief is written for a broad range of audience, including NGO workers, policy makers, researchers, students, and anyone interested in the similarities and differences between the Chinese and Vietnamese institutional contexts.
