Title: Between Trumpism and Elitism: the Scientist's Plight under Capitalism
Leaders: Denys Bondar, M.V. Ramana, and Francois Laforge
Description: This panel will start with a discussion of Trump’s victory despite his evident lack of expertise in various technical and abstruse issues, and the larger phenomenon of popular distrust of elites. It will then go on to examining the role of scientists in reinforcing such distrust by acting as experts in the service of power. And finally it will discuss the dominant political and economic structure, namely capitalism, that shapes science.
