2022 Holberg Laureate Sheila Jasanoff in conversation with Professor Cathrine Holst.
Phenomena such as climate skepticism and vaccine refusal indicate a loss of trust in relations between experts and publics in modern democracies.
Comparisons of expert decision-making across democratic societies suggest that reliance on particular forms of evidence-making and public reason differ across political cultures. Trust in expertise emerges as a political achievement that cannot be short-circuited by scientific authority alone. The remedy for breakdowns in trust lies in persuading publics that what experts know does indeed support official policies and regulatory actions. This...2022-08-221h 23
Holberg Prize TalksSheila Jasanoff: "Democracy in an Unknowable World"The Holberg Lecture by Sheila Jasanoff was held on 8 June 2022 in Bergen, as part of the 2022 Holberg Week Programme.
Science and technology are so commonly seen as drivers of progress that their role in forming the horizons of individual and collective self-understanding often passes unnoticed in political theory and practice. STS corrects this imbalance by revealing what we know and how we apply our knowledge to be thoroughly political projects. By unsettling the parameters of social order, science and technology also trouble—and perhaps expand—how we exercise political agency and enact life’s purposes.

Animals suffer injustice at our hands: the cruelties of the factory farming industry, poaching and trophy hunting, assaults on the habitats of many creatures, and innumerable other instances of cruelty and neglect. Human domination is everywhere: in the seas, where marine mammals die from ingesting plastic; in the skies, where migratory birds die in large numbers from air pollution; and, obviously, on the land, where the habitats of many large mammals have been destroyed almost beyond repair. Addressing these large problems requires dedicated work and effort. But...2021-06-2551 min

Holbergs verk ble utgitt etter at han hadde oppdaget et byhistorisk manuskript fra 1600-tallet, skrevet av historikeren og læreren Edvard Edvardsen. Holberg laget et sammendrag av dette, men la også til egne barne- og ungdomsminner for å føre historien frem til egen tid. Det var her Holberg skapte den bergenske identitet, og bildet av den kosmopolitiske, men arbeidsomme, ukulturelle og kvinnesky erkebergenseren. Et bilde som ble hengende ved innbyggerne gjennom århundrer.
