There are lots of familiar names in London, and while chuckling at the collection of Massachusetts towns I listened to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!

First was a fantastic discussion with Ann Lipton on how powerful economic and political actors are eroding shareholder rights at the European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI). Lipton clearly lays out why expanding the metrics that investors and shareholders use to make decisions leaves the process open to political intervention and the threat recent developments pose to investor rights. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeJ-8QGAZNg

Next was an intriguing talk by Behrang Kianzad and Fabrizio Esposito on the meaning of fairness in DMA, AI act, and the digital fairness act at PLAMADISO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCnmQlrYwsQ

Last was a great discussion on the latest US labor developments at Power At Work with Seth Harris, Elizabeth Ford, Claudia Irizarry Aponte, and Harold Phillips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4aK2emVCts
