Excellent- More about Expertise in Crisis: The Ideological Contours of Public Scientific Controversies
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the crisis of expertise, leading to an ideological dispute between consensus science believers and those who reject it. This book shows that acknowledging uncertainties can lead to interaction and communication, even persuasion, between world views.
Format: Hardback
Length: 114 pages
Publication date: 31 January 2023
Publisher: Bristol University Press
The politicization of masks and vaccinations during the COVID-19 pandemic caused a crisis of expertise, leading to a lack of consensus among those who believe in consensus science. This book, with a foreword by Harry Collins, argues that the crisis is not a scientific controversy but an ideological dispute with believers on both sides. By acknowledging the uncertainties involved and avoiding the insistence on cold, hard facts, it is possible to open a pathway towards interaction and communication, even persuasion, between different world views. This resource will be invaluable for readers concerned about polarized societies and the distrust of consensus science.
