You’ve likely felt the squeeze of corporate power—the higher prices, the limited choices, and the feeling that a few massive companies control the market. In Put Your Trust in Anti-Trust, Kyorei Ancel Eto argues that anti-trust laws are far more than dusty legal statutes; they are the essential, dynamic tool for safeguarding democracy and innovation. Kyorei unpacks how these laws shape everything from the technology in your pocket to the cost of your groceries, and challenges us to see them as our best defense against unchecked monopolistic power. Discover why a deeper understanding of anti-trust is the key to building a more competitive, fair, and ultimately, free economy. Motivated by a desire to improve systems that affect people’s lives, particularly where health and fairness intersect, Kyorei has diverse interests in the biological world and post-revisionist history, with a particular interest in how systems like antitrust law shape society. He strives to understand and reinterpret issues to bring about meaningful change. In addition to his academic pursuits, he is a dedicated guitarist and multi-instrumentalist in various school bands, and is currently leading a student-initiated music group that performs community-focused music at volunteer events.

Carol Paiffer traz à tona um retrato incômodo do Brasil: um país marcado por dependências emocionais, financeiras e culturais que atravessam famílias e gerações. Do endividamento ao medo de arriscar, esses padrões aprisionam e alimentam a descrença em nosso próprio potencial. Mas Carol nos mostra que existe um caminho, a educação. Educar é libertar, é transformar crenças limitantes em construtivas e romper a síndrome do vira-lata que tanto nos trava.

When we study history in school, we consider it to be a record of facts. But how far is this truthful? We will look at how history can be shaped and influenced by politics, ideology and cultural perspecitve. In many cases, what we learn is not the full story, but a version that reflects the priorities of the people who document it. This will be done by looking at recent and widely known historical events such as the Cold War, WWI and WWII, and looking at the impact this has had on how they are taught and remembered. In looking at all this, it begs the question of can we consider to be factual? To explore this we will look at interpretations from Foucault and Nietzsche to develop our understanding of this concept. Overall this talk will highlight the importance of looking at multiple perspectives in order to understand the past more deeply and gain a sense of the winder picture.
