The Politics of Economics - 25 June 2020 - Performing Social Science? Disciplines, Expertise, and the Corona Crisis The Politics of Economics in the Time of COVID-19 Jana Bacevic will intervene on 'Performing social science? Disciplines, expertise, and the Corona crisis'. Co-hosted by Cléo Chassonnery-Zaïgouche and Jack Wright. The politics of economics is a research network exploring how economics impacts the world. The seminar series brings different perspectives together to discuss tensions and contestations of economic knowledge in the context of policy, expertise and political movements. We will host one-hour webinars consisting of a conversation with one of our moderators followed by questions from our online audience. This is not about presenting research results but rather sharing our latest thoughts and asking scholars whose expertise we trust to help us think through these strange times. #crassh #universityofcambridge #covid19

What's a scientific paper? What's peer review? And when governments say they're "following the science" during this pandemic, what does that actually mean? We're figuring out how science goes from results in a lab to become public information, or even national policy. Plus, in the news: we rate the security of the UK's new COVID-19 tracing app; doctors that didn't know they'd been infected with coronavirus; and should we really be bailing out airlines?
