Coastal Lives in Flux: Environmental Crisis, Resistance, and Ritual Innovation Across Asia (CLiF)

Coasts and beaches in East and Southeast Asia face several challenges today. They experience erosion and species loss due to logging, infrastructure development, and tropical storms, which are getting stronger and more frequent because of climate change. They also face problems such as widespread...

GIANTS: Giant Impact Accretion of Terrestrial Systems

The terrestrial planets (Earth and Mars, for instance) are thought to have formed by a process known as collisional accretion, growing two by two in huge mergers and partial-mergers and almost-mergers. The idea is that Earth was built out of ~10 Mars-sized planets, each merger more violent than t...

Intensionality and Forcing: A New Model-Theoretic Synthesis

Imagine trying to explain what a belief or the meaning of a sentence really is. We use them constantly—when we say “I think it will rain” or when we understand a joke—but they are surprisingly hard for science to pin down. Even simple ideas can fool our theories. Two sentences might always be tru...

Rule of Law and the Public Sense of Justice in Norway - International Conventions and National Norms in a Time of Crisis (PublicJustice)

We currently find ourselves in the middle of a global rule of law crisis. Fundamental principles of the rule of law, which are often taken for granted in democratic countries, are increasingly being questioned and, to some extent, abandoned. This is true not only in remote autocracies, but also i...
