Thomas Söderqvist Trust is a key concept in science studies (cf. Ted Porter’s excellent book Trust in Numbers, 1995, just to take one example). Now the Canadian Society for the History and Philosophy of Science are organising a workshop on “Trust in Science” to take place at Toronto’s CBC Conference Centre 15-16 October. What’s interesting with this meeting is that the organisers are focusing on trust in public understanding of science (journalism, broadcasting and museums).
Sessions thus include: Clinical Trials and the Pharmaceutical Industry; Publicizing Science, and its Effects; Public Controversies and the Distribution of Expertise; Who to Trust on Climate Change; and Museums and the Public Trust. To register for the workshop, email bessie@yorku.ca before 20 September. For more info,see this pdf-file.
