We welcome the news that the Convention of the North 2025 is set to be hosted in Lancashire — the location of one of our four offices and where many of our clients are based. Held at the University of Central Lancashire on the 27 and 28 February 2025, it provides a real opportunity to highlight the strength of the existing and upcoming sectors across the region and help shape the new Government’s commitment to greater devolved powers. It will bring together business, community, academic and political leaders to discuss how they can address the pressing challenges and opportunities facing the North of England. The event is another opportunity for the region to be relentless in pursuing real change across the North and drive forward the UK economy.    It’s that desire which led us to establish True North. Now a network of over 250 purpose-led organisations, this has already developed meaningful partnerships and reinforced a culture of collaboration amongst its members. The data partnership with Open Innovations has already started to yield a better understanding of where the greatest opportunities lie for the region’s prosperity: https://lnkd.in/eynSUnVh If you’re a purpose-driven organisation and would like to add your voice to co-create a path forward with a view to unlocking the true potential of the Northern economy, then sign-up here: https://lnkd.in/edQb9Ws3

A significant piece of what we do in ACE is related to Extension and outreach. Partnering with University of Illinois Extension, our faculty aim to apply research-based knowledge to help communities and the state. Last fall, Mark White, an Extension specialist in ACE, shared a study on rural vitality in Illinois. Listen as he explains the findings of what can be done to help rural communities thrive🙌 Check out the study⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gfKDj2Fu

The Reading of the Day “Postscript on the Societies of Control” by Gilles Deleuze (1992) In his seminal work, Gilles Deleuze examines the transition from disciplinary societies, as analyzed by Michel Foucault, to the contemporary societies of control. Foucault's analysis highlighted the nature of disciplinary societies and anticipated their eventual evolution into new institutional forms. Deleuze elucidates the gradual reforms that occurred post-World War II, marking a significant shift in societal structures. Deleuze contends that we now inhabit societies of control, characterized by the replacement of the factory by the corporation, the substitution of perpetual training for traditional schooling, and the transformation of examination through continuous control mechanisms. In disciplinary societies, individuals repeatedly transitioned between institutions—such as from school to barracks, and from barracks to factory. Conversely, in societies of control, individuals are never entirely finished with any single phase or institution. Deleuze articulates that the numerical language of control operates through codes that either grant or deny access to information, underscoring a paradigm where control is pervasive and unceasing.
