Expertise in Crisis - The Ideological Contours of Public Scientific Controversies (Hardcover)

When the utility of masks or vaccinations became politicized during
the COVID-19 pandemic and lost its mooring in scientific evidence,
an already-developing crisis of expertise was exacerbated. Those
who believe in consensus science wondered: "How can 'those people'
not see the truth?" This book shows that it is not a 'scientific'
controversy, but an ideological dispute with 'believers' on both
sides. If the advocates for consensus science acknowledge the
uncertainties involved, rather than insisting on cold, hard facts,
it is possible to open a pathway towards interaction and
communication, even persuasion, between world views. As the crisis
of expertise continues to be a global issue, this will be an
invaluable resource for readers concerned about polarized societies
and the distrust of consensus science.
