Changing Charities? The impact of social media on community engagement and charity events in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand
From Movember to Bunnings Warehouse sausage sizzle fundraisers, it is safe to say that Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ) have long-standing traditions of philanthropy and community engagement, with a strong emphasis on volunteer-driven initiatives and support from local business, with a very idiosyncratic “Kiwi and Aussie” twist.
According to the US-based NGO Volunteer FDIP, NZ has the second-highest percentage of volunteers in relation to its population, just after the USA, while Australia has the world’s fourth-highest rate of volunteering per capita.
While academic research has focused more on voluntary endeavours beyond national shores, this paper aims to explore the evolving role of local charities and volunteerism in Australia and NZ, particularly in response to the current housing crisis in both countries and a stronger focus
In recent years, fund-raising for charity has received more coverage for spectacular individual feats and challenges posted on social network platforms (such as Nedd Brockmann’s 2023 record from Perth to Sydney to raise awareness and funds for homeless Australians) than traditional collective, community-based efforts. Are digital tools merely helpers to increase the reach and visibility of charity events compared to traditional advertising methods or are they changing the demographics of volunteers and nature of charity events on both sides of the Tasman Sea?

The making of an inequitable society? Reassessing the development trajectory of Mauritius
Mauritius stands out as an example of successful transition from an underdeveloped, overpopulated British colony (The Overcrowded Barracoon in the words of V.S. Naipaul) to a politically independent economically thriving island that has lived up to its motto to become the “star and key of the Indian Ocean”. This economic success was achieved mostly peacefully and the enduring political stability has enabled Mauritius to entrench the image of an ideal destination for both profitable investments and dream holidays. However, if this smooth transition has benefitted the country, it has also meant that the position of the economic and political elites has seldom been challenged. They have been able to negotiate, make alliances and reach deals that may have brought some changes to the political and economic landscape but have also enabled them to plan ahead and keep a tight rein on power. This raises the question of whether this success has truly been beneficial to all. More precisely, this paper will examine whether the conditions for this success have made it more difficult to bridge inequalities and achieve better social justice today. Clearly, when measured in terms of indicators related to literacy, mortality, education and health, Mauritius is a success story. But as the island moves forward on its development path, people have different expectations. Thus, it seems timely to reassess the path of development of Mauritius and question its ability to create a more equitable society. This is likely to be one of the challenges the island will have to face as it moves from developing nation to developed one.

Colonial transitions, legacies, and postcolonial challenges: The transformative impact of British rule on Malaysia.
This study examines the transformative impact of British colonial rule on Malaysia, which spanned over 150 years until independence in 1957. Central to British administration was the “divide and rule” strategy, segregating ethnic groups—Malays, Chinese, and Indians—into distinct economic and social roles, institutionalising disparities that persist today. Large-scale migration of Chinese and Indian labourers, driven by demands in tin mining and rubber plantations, reshaped Malaysia’s demographic and economic landscape, while Malays remained in subsistence agriculture, perpetuating rural stagnation and socioeconomic stratification. The transition from colonial governance to independence marked complex cultural, economic, and political dynamics. British influence extended beyond labour and economics, embedding itself into Malaysia’s legal and political structures. Ethnic classifications entrenched racial ideologies, fostering divisions that shaped post-independence politics. Culturally, colonialism imposed Western education and values, “cloning” British societal structures. However, traditional Malay elites were preserved through political alliances, creating a dichotomy that aligned governance with Malay privileges while sidelining others. This duality introduced tensions between modernity and tradition. Architectural, legal, and cultural remnants, such as British common law, colonial-era buildings, and Anglicised institutions, reflect the enduring imprint of “Anglobalisation” and colonial legacies in Malaysia’s evolving identity. Post-independence policies like the New Economic Policy (NEP) aimed to address economic disparities but heightened ethnic tensions through preferential treatment, sparking debates about equity and unity. This study explores how colonial governance fostered hybrid identities and syncretic cultural elements. Key historical events, such as the Japanese occupation and the Malayan Union, were critical phases influencing Malaysia’s path to independence. By tracing British colonialism’s nuanced impact, this research highlights its enduring influence on Malaysia’s sociopolitical landscape and the complexities of postcolonial nation-building.

Colonialism, the climate crisis and transition in South Asia: the case of the Bengal delta
In May 2024, a major cyclone struck Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal, forcing approximately 1 million people to leave their homes. Over the months that followed, millions more were displaced by flooding, with heavy rainfall and the release of dammed water causing rivers of the Bengal delta to overflow. A new cyclonic storm is expected to hit the coast of Odisha and West Bengal before the end of October.
This paper traces the origins of the contemporary climate crisis in South Asia to the period of British colonial rule, with a focus on the Bengal delta. It shows how the policies pursued by British administrators in the delta – from jungle clearance to land drainage and the construction of river embankments – rendered the region more vulnerable to serious flooding, and reveals that colonial authorities encouraging the settlement and cultivation of the delta ignored the warnings offered by scientists about its exposure to cyclones. The ideas informing British approaches to the delta are examined, among them a determination to transform water-logged “waste lands” into “productive” and profitable terrain, and a commitment – at once sincere and rhetorical – to secure the triumph of “civilisation” over nature.
The paper considers the impact that colonial thinking continues to have on government approaches to the riverine region across both sides of the India-Bangladesh border. It finishes with some tentative suggestions for transition towards a more sustainable and truly postcolonial future for the world’s largest and most imperilled delta.

From imperial histories to connected histories of the Commonwealth: challenges of epistemological transitions in the field of Anglophone Studies
The “South-North Circulations” seminar project emerged from discussions among three /early-career researchers in the field of French “Anglophone Studies” who had all been confronted to epistemological debates in the (post)colonial historiographies of the different Southern spaces they studied. The choice of focusing on South-North circulations in the post-Bandung era was motivated by the need to deconstruct eurocentric historiographies in our disciplinary field and reflect on a transition from imperial histories to connected histories of the Commonwealth. To that end, our seminar is dedicated to the deconstruction of the “British Empire” as a homogeneous category to write and think about the intellectual, artistic, and political histories of the people who circulate and inhabit the Commonwealth (including in relation to other parts of the world). The starting point of our reflection was a common assumption that committed artists, intellectuals and political activists from the Global South had networked and connected within this space, and that those circulations of the second half of the twentieth century could be examined from a de-centred perspective. Through the various sessions that were held on intellectual, diplomatic, artistic and cultural circulations, this seminar has therefore been dedicated to interrogating the counter-hegemonic nature of the knowledge, theories and artistic practices produced during the post-Bandung era. In this collective presentation, we want to go back on the genesis of this seminar series and analyse how it has helped us considering new historiographies to deconstruct Eurocentric knowledge, both from a disciplinary perspective as well as within our individual research fields.

M-Pesa and Silicon Savannah: Kenya’s Digital Transition in Financial Inclusion and Innovation
The concept of transition often evokes notions of profound change and transformation of similar nature as the disruptive force of a revolution. Nowhere is this more evident than in the ongoing digital revolution reshaping societies across the world. In Africa, this revolution represents a critical shift from analog traditions to a digitally-driven future, unlocking unprecedented opportunities and challenges. From Kenya’s pioneering mobile money platform, M-Pesa, to Nigeria’s burgeoning fintech ecosystem, Africa emerges as a vibrant hub of digital innovation. Kenya’s digital revolution epitomises a decisive transition in financial inclusion and technological innovation.
This presentation focuses on two core elements of Kenya’s digital transformation: the mobile money platform M-Pesa and the innovation ecosystem of the Silicon Savannah. In 2006, financial inclusion in Kenya was 26%. From 2007 when M-Pesa was launched to 2021, financial inclusion in the country increased to 84% (Liu K., 2024). M-Pesa has empowered rural communities and small businesses driving GDP growth and reducing poverty levels (Suri & Jack, 2016). Besides M-Pesa, Kenya’s Silicon Savannah, including hubs like iHub and Konza City, incubates cutting-edge startups addressing agriculture, connectivity, and public service challenges. The presentation examines the socio-economic impacts of M-Pesa on financial inclusion, the role of Silicon Savannah in fostering tech innovation and some Key challenges such as infrastructure gaps and digital literacy.

Exploring in-betweenness and hybridity embedded in the identity journeys of 1.5-generation Korean immigrants in Canada
This paper explores the experiences of 1.5-generation Korean immigrants in Canada, a group that has received limited attention in immigration research. The 1.5 generation refers to individuals who immigrated to Canada at a young age, typically during childhood or early adolescence, and who navigate both the culture of their country of birth and mainstream society. In Canada, Census data distinguishes between first- and second-generation immigrants, but the 1.5 generation is grouped with the first, overlooking the unique challenges and experiences of this group. The aim of this study is to contribute to the growing body of literature on the 1.5 generation by presenting findings from semi-structured individual interviews with ten 1.5-generation Korean immigrants in Toronto, Canada, revealing varied patterns of their identity development and outcomes.
The identity journeys of participants, shaped by their bilingual and bicultural experiences, revealed three distinct phases: (1) initial acculturation during childhood, (2) active ethnic identity exploration during adolescence, and (3) the strengthening of Korean Canadian identity during adulthood. The resulting sociocultural identity was hybrid and multi-faceted, based on self-perceptions in relation to in-groups (us) and out-groups (them). Findings show that identity negotiation is an ongoing and complex process, significantly influenced by diverse life experiences such as family dynamics, ethnic community involvement, school, work, media, and experiences of racial discrimination. While their Korean identity became more symbolic over time, their Canadian identity was enriched through accumulated life experiences and heightened sensitivity to Canadian multiculturalism. Salience of cultural transmission and individual agency on shaping hybrid identity was also evident. This paper sheds light on the complexities of identity negotiation across ethnic, racial, and national boundaries, and highlights the need for further research into the 1.5 generation of other immigrant groups in different sociocultural contexts.

From apartheid to freedom: transitioning Cape Coloured identities through the history of the Kaapse Klopse
The history of the Kaapse Klopse, the Cape Town Minstrel Carnival, offers a unique perspective on South Africa’s ongoing journey of social and cultural transition.
This presentation will examine its role in redefining Coloured and, on a larger scale, South African identities throughout history, focusing on its significance in both resisting oppression and creating antagonism. We will also analyze its post-apartheid reinvention as a symbol of cultural revival.
Originating in the 19th century in the enslaved communities in Cape Town, the carnival was initially influenced by African-American minstrelsy and blended with local cultural practices. It was a joyful and vibrant form of expression and resistance to systemic oppression that later became associated with the Coloured working-class and poor communities in the city.
Under apartheid, this tradition suffered from a double prejudice: it was not only severely restricted and regulated by the government, but it was also frowned upon and rejected by a majority of the Coloured middle-class (Martin, 1999, p. 47). The Kaapse Klopse, which involves extravagant costumes and comedy, was then sometimes perceived as a vehicle of negative stereotypes from which the Coloured community was already suffering. In Outcast Cape Town, social geographer John Western argues that ‘the White stereotype has been internalized by many Coloureds’ (Western, 1996, p.18), hence the feeling of shame about aspects of their culture or identity that were perceived as inferior by the dominant White society.
The carnival’s evolution from a symbol of racial oppression and division to a representation of both community and national cultural pride reflects the broader social transformation of a nation grappling with its colonial legacy while embracing its rich multicultural heritage.

The Commonwealth at the dawn of the 2020s: an international organization in transition
In 2013, the member states of the Commonwealth signed the Commonwealth Charter, which was to put an end to more than a decade of tension and crisis over the interpretation of the principles the organization was to uphold.
Indeed, the Commonwealth has long been at loggerheads over the promotion of the organization’s values, such as democracy and human rights, enshrined in the 1991 Harare Declaration, and in particular over whether or not to sanction infringements of these values by certain members in the 2000s. Between the Zimbabwean crisis from 1999 onwards, and the organization of the 2013 CHOGM by Mahinda Rajapaksa’s Sri Lanka, who consequently assumed the role of Commonwealth chair-in-office for the following two years, the Commonwealth was paralyzed by divisions and its inability to overcome them.
Measured against the many recommendations made by the Eminent Persons’ Group tasked with considering how the Commonwealth could remain relevant in the 21st century, the Charter is a disappointing document, both in terms of the member states’ ambitions for the organization, and in terms of the more immediate resolution of the identity crisis it was undergoing. However, with the benefit of a decade’s hindsight, we can see that the Charter did mark the beginning of a period of transition for the Commonwealth, a transition towards reconciliation and appeasement, and a transition towards a new mode of cooperation.
The objective of this paper will be to assess the extent to which the Commonwealth Charter, although initially symbolic in scope, has served as a transitional tool for the Commonwealth. Although it proclaimed the primacy of states within the organization, it also encouraged the Commonwealth to refocus on its civil society. In this way, it was the beginning of a response to the profound contradiction between the two legacies of its post-colonial identity at the root of the crisis of the 2000-2010 period: respect for the sovereignty of states, most of which were colonized territories, and the transnational circulation of shared values beyond it.

Green Dreams in the Bush: ecological attitudes of urban-rural migration
Australia has become known somewhat infamously in recent years as one of the world’s largest polluters. With its reliance on fossil fuel energy and multibillion-dollar mining industry spread across the continent. It is perhaps hard to imagine how ecologically-minded citizens can exist and thrive in a nation that prides itself on its vast natural beauty yet does so much to undermine it.
The focus of this paper will be to investigate the link between rural communities and the notions of ecological transition through the attitudes of urban migrants who reside there. While there is no single leading cause of urban-rural migration, it first reached the popular imagination thanks to the hippy movement of the 1970s. The image of young radicals seeking an alternative to the growing consumerist tendencies of urban life and the defence of natural world has followed this demographic through the decades. Yet these socio-ecological values have continued to evolve over time. Just as the factors contributing to urban-rural migration have multiplied and furthermore, the understanding of the threat posed by climate change has increased.
This common association between this demographic and ecological ideals is not without paradox. Firstly, as it disregards the economic motivations that, in large part, drive this trend and secondly, the isolation of rural Australia can prove to be a barrier to realising the aspirations of an ecological lifestyle. This is why I will consider not so much the viability of rural Australia’s ecological transition but rather how social attitudes of rural migrants inform the push for a more sustainable future within their chosen communities.

Achieving Carbon Neutrality in India: AI for Energy and Digital Transitions
Artificial Intelligence was the key theme at the World Economic Forum’s 54th Annual Meeting in 2024 at Davos in Switzerland. Stakeholders in the AI Governance Alliance namely climate scientists, technologists, policymakers, creators of AI tools and ethicists, debated on the capacity of Generative AI to lift climate research out of the lab and provide innovative tools like a ‘GPT’ interface to translate climate models into simple language. AI’s role in averting the most dangerous climate change scenarios is thanks to its catalysing and innovative role of translating R&D into climate action. This paper shall consider how Generative AI’s capabilities for natural language processing, data synthesis, down-scaling and product prototyping can provide practical tools to climate scientists and political decision makers in India. Ranked as the third-largest emitter of CO2 in the Statistical Review of World Energy, India with its population of 1.4 billion inhabitants is committed to reaching environmental sustainability goals. While navigating a significant energy transition towards a more diverse and sustainable energy mix, India which is a heavily reliant on coal, is focussed on expanding renewable energy sources and increasing its share of non-fossil electricity generation capacity to 50% by 2030. As part of its long-term climate strategy, India aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2070. I shall explore how the integration of digital and AI technologies can help improve grid management, streamline phases, support the integration of renewable energy sources, along with reducing waste. This implies twin transitions, that is, the digital and energy transitions and we shall see how the integration of AI and digital technologies may create new challenges of access equity. How can AI be aptly used to reach carbon neutrality goals? What are the opportunities offered by the different AI tools? How can these tools be used to radically reshape a sustainable energy future for a vast majority of India’s population? At the COP 29 in November 2024, while proponents of AI posited that it could enable the metal and mining, oil and gas industries to decarbonize their operations; opponents highlighted AI’s ‘double-edged climate sword’ of bearing a large carbon footprint and emitting greenhouse gases (GHGs). The time is now to understand how India’s energy and digital transitions intertwine and how AI can help India meet its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals and harness the power of AI to mitigate climate change.
