Populism, Markets, and Expertise: Social Science in an Age of Post-Truth

Conference: Thursday May 4th, 2017 10am-6.30pm - PhD Workshop: Friday May 5th, 2017 10am-2pm

This conference, part funded by the Warwick ESRC DTC, aims to address issues of social-scientific expertise and claims for authority in the light of recent political events and the rise of populism in Europe, the US, and elsewhere. These expressions represent different kinds of voice with implications for public debate and democratic practice and we believe that as social scientists and academics we have to bring our voices to bear more insistently within these debates.

The one day conference will be followed by a half day workshop specifically for PhD students on the themes and topics of the conference. Faculty will include Prof Gurminder K Bhambra, Prof John Holmwood, as well as some of the keynote speakers.
