"Recovering Truth" with Phil Scraton @WoWfest 2017

@Blackburne House - May 16, 2017

In 2016 'post-truth' was introduced into the Oxford Dictionaries as 'a word of the year', describing a politics in which 'objective facts' are 'less influential in sharing public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief'. Phil Scraton, drawing on his published in-depth research on subjects as wide as Hillsborough, prisons, childhood and Ireland, argues that dissenting voices are the foundation of hope, resistance and transformation.
