Disrupting Peace explores why peace hasn’t worked, and how it still could. In each episode, Bridget Conley, research director at the World Peace Foundation, speaks with a researcher specializing in one obstacle to peace, and an activist who’s changing systems from the ground up. Together they explore what worked, what didn’t, and why we shouldn’t give up.Copyright 2026 World Peace Foundation Politics & Government World

  • Bonus: AI: Anasuya Sengupta on Colonizing and Liberating Knowledge
    Apr 28 2026

    This week, we’re bringing you a bonus episode from our friends at the “If You Were in Charge” podcast. In a world increasingly led by autocratic superpowers, exploiting fear and uncertainty, the premise of if you were in charge is simple: for every major problem out in the world, there are ordinary people finding extraordinary solutions.

    The episode we’re sharing is “AI: Anasuya Sengupta on Colonizing and Liberating Knowledge.” Sengupta is the cofounder of “Whose Knowledge?”, a global campaign to center the knowledge of marginalized communities (the majority of the world) on the internet.

    “If You Were in Charge” is produced by ADA Productions, a podcast agency based in London, in partnership with the International Civil Society Action Network (ICAN) for women's rights, peace and security. It i hosted by: Sanam Naraghi Anderlini, MBE, a peace strategist, founder, and CEO of the International Civil Society Action Network (ICAN), and Kavita Nandini Ramdas, a globally recognised advocate for gender equity and justice and a Senior Strategic Advisor to the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF).
