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) ‘Infrastructure and the Markets' Politics’
Koray Çal??kan (Department of Political Science & IR, Bogazici University) ‘The Future of Markets and Politics: Mapping an Emergent Geography of Economization’
Céline Cholez and Pascale Trompette (Laboratoire Pacte, University of Grenoble) ‘Of borders and margins: African markets and the politics of supply chains in a global world'
Tom Osborne (School of Sociology, Politics & IR, Bristol University) ‘On Montesquieu, markets and the liberalism of fear’
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.
