Coping with stress and uncertainty

Unfortunately stress seems to be a built-in feature of modern life. We are all trying to fit in too much with less time all the while societal and political challenges negatively impact us. Changing the system would be the long term solution…

But in the shorter term we can learn to cope with stress and uncertainty in a way that's healthier for our body and mind. This session will walk you through some simple but effective tools to better cope with the stresses of life. 

What you will get from this 60-minute session:

Strategies for understanding unhealthy stress coping mechanisms and gradually swapping them for healthier ones
Tools to connect with your body and relax your physical response to stress
A tool for identifying sources of stress and focusing your attention where you can make a difference
Breathing exercises to activate your parasympathetic nervous system - calming down the stress response
Support in action planning what stress busting tools you'll implement in your life

And we’ll end with a meditation to help you relax and take wellness into the next part of your day.

Marketing 101

This course offers a dynamic introduction to Globalization and the Global Political Economy (GPE), exploring the intricate relationship between political actors and the global economic marketplace. Through a theoretically rich and historically grounded lens, you’ll examine the development, operations, and future trajectory of the global political economy.

You’ll learn to apply diverse theoretical frameworks to critically analyze global economic processes. 

The course begins with an in-depth look at foundational GPE perspectives—mercantilism, liberalism, and structuralism—each built on distinct assumptions that shape our understanding of global economic events. 

From there, we’ll investigate the international "structures" of production, trade, finance, and knowledge, addressing critical questions: Who controls these structures, and to what end? What rules govern international trade? How do institutions like the IMF, World Bank, and multinational corporations shape global flows of goods and investment? Who benefits from controlling knowledge?

The course culminates with an exploration of 21st-century global governance, highlighting the rise of new economic and political power centers and their evolving roles in the world.
The course concludes with an exploration of 21st-century global governance, spotlighting the emergence of new economic and political power centers, such as BRICS, and their evolving roles in the world.

We’ll also examine how the United States under Donald Trump shifted from traditional liberal internationalism toward more transactional and bilateral approaches, reshaping global relationships and challenging established norms

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Analyze the major political themes in the historical evolution of the international economy.
Understand debates surrounding the emergence and impacts of a globalized economy, including patterns of inequality.
Evaluate key GPE theories and perspectives in both historical and contemporary contexts.
Apply theoretical insights to explain the causes and effects of international trade, capital flows, monetary relations, and globalization debates.
Recognize the vital role of human and environmental security in political economy studies.
Demonstrate strong analytical and critical thinking skills when assessing political phenomena.

TEA 'N CHAT - LINDA HARVEY - Textile Artist
1 APRIL 2025
TIME: 7-8pm  
 FREE EVENT
This event is held on ZOOM, so please register to get the Zoom details.



Join us for a FREE Tea 'N Chat with Textile artist and teacher LINDA HARVEY who talks about her work.
We are excited to have the immensely talented mixed-media textile artist Linda Harvey join us for our April Tea 'N Chat event. With over 25 years of experience in both teaching and creating, Linda brings a deep well of knowledge and a true passion for her craft. As the Head of Textiles at Archbishop Holgate's School in York and a dedicated member of York Textile Artists and The Society for Embroidered Work, Linda's commitment to her art is truly inspiring.
On the night, during the event, we will be running a mini competition to win one of Linda's new Books ‘INSPIRED BY YOU’ 100 Days of Textiles Art



Linda’s artwork is a mesmerizing fusion of rustic textures and innovative techniques. Drawing inspiration from her travels, she transforms photographs into expressive, abstract textile creations. Her work beautifully reflects her love for color and texture, incorporating elements such as hand-felted backgrounds, free-motion embroidery, intricate layering, and rust dyeing.

LINDA HARVEY  Textile Artist and Head of Textiles at Archbishop Colgate School, York

Linda studied Textiles and Surface Design at University Centre Somerset, graduating in 1994. She is a textile artist and Head of Textiles at a York secondary school and a member of York Textile Artists and The Society for Embroidered Work, which promotes and supports the best in stitched art worldwide.
The inspiration for her work mainly comes from the places she visits, taking photographs of anything that catches her eye. These photographs give a starting point from which her work evolves, often working on several pieces at a time, as she enjoys an expressive and experimental way of working.
Linda is inspired by rustic textures and the ageing process, drawn to anything corroded and tarnished and immediately seeing how it can be turned into a textile art piece. Colour and texture are the key elements in her work.

Security lies at the heart of international relations, driving critical debates in an increasingly volatile world.  This course provides a dynamic introduction to contemporary security studies, blending key concepts, theories, and real-world challenges. 

Participants will explore the evolution of security—from traditional state-centric models to expansive frameworks like human security—while analyzing the shifting global order.
The Western-led multilateral system, once a beacon of post-Cold War collaboration, is under strain. 

With Trump’s victory marking the decline of the U.S.-led postwar order, this course investigates how these tectonic shifts redefine international security. 

Delivered in two parts, it combines rigorous theory with practical insight:

Part One: Master foundational theories—realism (anarchy, power, war), liberalism (order, institutions), and constructivism (human dimensions)—alongside critical lenses like post-Marxist and post-structuralist perspectives.

Part Two: Apply these frameworks to today’s pressing issues through case studies, revealing the multifaceted nature of global security.

Participants will hone sharp analytical skills, learning to research and assess security challenges using academic frameworks and open-source tools. The course also fosters critical thinking, teamwork, and persuasive communication, equipping you to engage confidently in international security debates.

Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end, you will:

Knowledge and Understanding
Grasp core theoretical debates and their relevance to international security.
Understand the historical and modern dimensions of global security challenges.
Analyse security issues through interdisciplinary and theoretical lenses.
Evaluate diverse perspectives on security across global contexts.

Skills and Abilities
Apply theoretical insights to case studies and policy dilemmas.
Address complex security topics independently and collaboratively with strong time management.
Communicate compelling analyses effectively in writing and speech.
Use academic and open-source resources to critique global security concerns.

Who Should Take This Course?
Ideal for professionals, academics, and students passionate about international relations, security studies, or global policy. Whether you’re a student, practitioner, researcher, or aspiring analyst, this course delivers essential tools to navigate today’s security landscape.

Explore "International Security in a Changing World" through live online learning. Join expert-led sessions to understand global security dynamics, emerging threats, and strategic solutions in an interactive, real-time format. Enroll now to stay informed and engaged.
