The Market Politics event at Goldsmiths in 2018 will explore how research on markets from across the social sciences can help shed light on some of the major political concerns of our time.
It seems that in fields as diverse as energy, climate change, healthcare, higher education, pensions, housing, transportation, borders, culture and food, market relations are proposed, completed, disputed, adjusted and disrupted. In order to engage with these complex relations, in this event we will draw together social scientists interested in engaging with the composition, transformation, and consequences of market politics. The event will include five keynote presentations:
Andrew Barry (Department of Geography, UCL) 鈥業nfrastructure and the Markets' Politics鈥�
Koray 脟al??kan (Department of Political Science & IR, Bogazici University) 鈥楾he Future of Markets and Politics: Mapping an Emergent Geography of Economization鈥�
C茅line Cholez and Pascale Trompette (Laboratoire Pacte, University of Grenoble) 鈥極f borders and margins: African markets and the politics of supply chains in a global world'
Tom Osborne (School of Sociology, Politics & IR, Bristol University) 鈥極n Montesquieu, markets and the liberalism of fear鈥�
Laura Bear (Department of Anthropology, LSE) (title TBC)
We will also end the first day with a panel discussion on market politics in higher education, with Andrew Barry, Vik Loveday and Sveta Milyaeva.
