CfP: ‘Institutionalized Ignorance in Policy & Regulation’Special issue of
<br>Scienceas Culture (SaC)
<br>
<br>With this proposed special issue, we seek todraw attention to ignorance and
<br>non-knowledge on an institutional level. Thereare clear implications of
<br>ignorance for accountability in policy andregulation, few links have been made
<br>between agnotological perspectives and thestudy of institutionalized ignorance
<br>as a central feature of policy andregulation. We are seeking papers that
<br>substantively addressinstitutionalized ignorance, rather than ignorance more
<br>generally, as itrelates to political processes, policymaking, and regulation.
<br>We welcome contributions based onempirical case studies, as well as conceptual
<br>papers, but seek to prioritizethe former category. When submitting your
<br>abstract please make sure to clearly state how your argument relatesto the
<br>concepts of institutionalized ignorance and policy, not just simplysaying what
<br>the paper will do.
