Who defines a “legitimate” economic policy?

▶️ Lecture 3 of the COST Action CA23149 Autumn 2026 Lecture Series is now available on YouTube.

In “The Architecture of Legitimation,” Asst. Prof. Sevil Zengin Gupta examines how the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) shaped UK business discourse between 2016 and 2024.

The lecture explores the CBI as an epistemic gatekeeper, examining how corporate priorities translate into narratives of economic necessity, public value, and societal benefit.

From Brexit and COVID-19 to energy and governance crises, the presentation traces how business rhetoric shifts between risk, resilience, opportunity, growth, and long-term industrial strategy.

It also examines how ethos, logos and pathos work together to legitimise policy positions and influence the boundaries of public debate.

▶️ Lecture 2 of the CA23149 Autumn 2026 Lecture Series is now available on YouTube.
How can digital communication respond to anti-gender narratives across different political and social contexts?
In “Digital Resistance: Communication Strategies Against Anti-Gender Narratives in CEE and NME Countries,” Dr. Selvi Vural explores communication strategies across Central and Eastern European and Neighbouring and Mediterranean contexts.
Drawing on an organisational and communication perspective, the lecture considers the role of inclusive leadership, gender representation, and civil-society communication, and discusses how research can contribute to the development of digital counter-narrative strategies.

▶️ The first lecture of our Autumn 2026 Lecture Series is now available on YouTube.

How do anti-gender movements in Asian contexts differ from the European experience?

In the opening lecture of the COST Action CA23149 Autumn 2026 Lecture Series, Dr. Bishnu Prasad Mohapatra of Dr. Viswanath Karad MIT-World Peace University explores anti-gender mobilisation, authoritarian politics, democratic backsliding, and political inclusion across Asian contexts.

The lecture considers examples from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar and China, asking how democratic institutions and spaces for political participation can respond to restrictive political environments and strengthen social and political inclusion.

Anti-Gender Movements (not Policies), Rising Authoritarianism and Politics of Inclusion in Asian Nations: How are these different from Europe?

From 17 to 19 June 2026, COST Action CA23149 Working Group 3, “Rethinking Activism and Forms of Opposition with a Focus on Unexpected Allies,” organised a panel at the final conference of the RESIST project in Warsaw.

The panel explored everyday LGBTQ+ struggles and resistance under political heterosexism, bringing together the voices of LGBTQ+ individuals, activists, and researchers working on LGBTQ+ issues and anti-gender mobilisation.

With contributions from Dr Michal Pitoňák, Dr Shaba Darakchi, and Dr Veronika Valkovičová, the discussion addressed anti-gender and anti-LGBTQ+ campaigns, conditional tolerance, structural cis- and heteronormativity, and the importance of recognising everyday forms of resistance.

Thank you to the speakers, organisers, and participants for this important exchange. 🌿
