CRESC 2013 Conference SOAS, London, Sept, 4-6, 2013
In a world of radical political, economic and ecological uncertainty, lives and life chances are increasingly precarious for many. It is becoming ever more urgent to explore the changing vulnerabilities of the majority. At the same time, understanding the in/vulnerabilities of elites and their sometimes inadequate forms of expertise and knowledge is also crucial. These are the two central themes of the CRESC 2013 Conference, which is co-sponsored by the Journal for Cultural Economy.
Plenary speakers …
… will include: Stephen Collier (New School of Social Research), Thomas Hylland Erikson (Oslo), Stephen Graham (Newcastle), Andrew Haldane (Bank of England), Kate Pickett (York), and Mattijs van de Port (Amsterdam). There will also be sub-plenary speakers, conference streams and panels.
