[Commlist] Conference : Science, Critique and Opinion

NOTCOM is pleased to announce its upcoming conference “Science, Critique 
and Opinion: Challenges for Scientific Consensus”. This event will take 
place on 28-29 May 2026. It will be held at the Maison Française 
d’Oxford on the first day, and at Pembroke College on the second day.

*Description:* The core focus of this conference will be the perception 
gap between the scientific community and the general public when it 
comes to the authority of scientific discourse and scientific consensus. 
When and why did science start to lose its authority as a discourse? How 
can we explain this lack of receptivity on the side of the public (and 
which publics in particular)? What are the solutions, innovations, or 
strategies put in place by researchers to rebuild trust between 
institutions, researchers and the broader public? What forms of 
consensus are desirable without falling back into the perceived violence 
of modernity?
