Keynote speakers Geoffrey Hosking, UCL Paul Weller, Coventry University Chris Bickerton, University of Cambridge Across Europe, the economic, political, and social realities established in the aftermath of the Second World War have come under strain. Anti-migration rhetoric and the rejection of multiculturalism, as well as the success of far-right parties and movements, have shocked observers. Globalisation, open markets, diversity, and growing interconnectedness have also given way to publically articulated demands for protection and national isolation. In most debates and analyses, the 'decline of trust' is cited as a key reason for recent challenges and changes in public perception. This workshop explores the talk on trust, and what it reveals about social challenges and understandings of democracy, free market capitalism, and living with ethnic, religious, and cultural difference. We examine why 'trust' features so prominently in debates about social change, discontent, and new political orders. We aim to understand the role of trust talk in attempts to explain our current condition, and its implications for living with difference and uncertainty in increasingly interconnected and globalising societies.
