Post-truth from a critical-policy-studies perspective

Kathrin Braun was amongst the first scholars to subject the notion of post-truth to critical scrutiny. In this conversation, we discuss how post-truth serves as an ordering device, what it tells us about the self-understanding of liberal elites, what was problematic about the March For Science movement and much more.

Highlights

• Questioning the fact/value and other dichotomies
• Problematizing the March for Science
• Exploring the roots of the mainstream post-truth narrative
