*'The End of the Experts?' Interdisciplinary Responses to 2016*
*Nottingham Trent University, 6-7 September 2017*
‘People in this country have had enough of experts’ – Michael Gove
/End of the Expert’? /is an interdisciplinary conference that invites 
responses to 2016, its build up, consequences, the questions it raises, 
possible solutions and aftermaths we are yet to face. Arguably, now more 
than ever we need forms of expertise to address the diverse issues that 
culminated in 2016. This is an appeal to show why expertise, in all its 
forms, is still relevant today.
2016 was a momentous year. Globally, significant events took place which 
altered our conception of society, politics, identity and culture. From 
Celebrity Deaths to Syria, Brexit to Black Lives Matter, Olympics to 
Elections, Referendums to Reproductive Rights, Healthcare to Hate Crime, 
Trump to Terrorism. This conference provides a platform for creative and 
critical responses to 2016. Which events led to this already infamous 
year? What are the immediate effects? What are we yet to see? How can 
and should we respond?
Papers addressing the broad themes of Politics, Identity, Culture and 
Society are encouraged. Topics might include, but are not restricted to:

  * Climate Change and Scepticism
  * Brexit
  * The Trump Campaign
  * Global Elections
  * Post-Truth and Alternative Facts
