Teach-Out! Conference! Post-Truth Phenomenon

CGHR is sponsoring a panel on Evidence in the Post-Truth Era: Human Rights Perspectives.‘ Post-Truth’ was the 2016 Oxford Dictionaries word of the year. This series of teach-out events and conference are an opportunity to consolidate and advance our understanding of the post-truth phenomenon through collaborative activities and interdisciplinary conversation. At these events’ core is the view that this is a moment of ‘knowledge controversy,’ namely, a rupture of the naturalised order that provides a window onto the norms, practices, and power relations supporting that naturalised order. The conference is organised by Dr Ella McPherson, Dr Mara Polgovsky Ezcurra and Devika Ranjan.
