An integrated analytical framework for analysing expansive learning in improved cook stove practice:

This paper reveals relationships between four analytical frameworks, boundary interaction, reflexivity, transformative agency, and Sannino's reformulated Vygotskian double stimulation model in an Integrated Analytical Framework (IAF) used to analyse expansive learning processes via Boundary Crossing Change Laboratory Workshops in the development of will and volitional actions. I show how transformation emerges from expansive learning processes using two Transformative Pathways in Improved Cook Stove (ICS) practice in Chapita Village case study in Malawi. Introduction of ICSs in the traditional cooking practice generated conflict of motives within subjects of interacting activity systems. I used Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) to identify and analyse the conflict of motives using socio-cultural historical analysis and analysis of contradictions around learning, promotion, and utilisation of the ICS

Incorporating human rights into the corporate domain: due diligence, impact assessment and integrated risk management

Business and human rights are often thought to be antithetical, but as societal expectations on companies have grown, it has become increasingly important for businesses to understand and act upon their legal and moral obligations to respect human rights. The authors of this paper begin by charting the evolution of the rights paradigm and its incorporation into the corporate sphere of influence. Second, the concept of human rights due diligence is examined, owing to its prominence in John Ruggie’s ‘Protect, Respect and Remedy’ framework. Human Rights Impact Assessments, as an emerging due diligence tool, warrant further attention, theorization and critique. Finally, it is suggested that human rights due diligence could be consolidated within existing corporate risk management systems. Reframing human rights in the context of social and business risks may provide a path forncompanies to understand the need for human rights due diligence by linking rights considerations with business concerns
