Last Chance to Register for The Imposter as Social Theory Book Launch

With Apologies for Cross-Posting

The online launch of the recently published volume The Imposter as Social Theory edited by Steve Woolgar, Else Vogel, David Moats and Claes-Fredrik Helgesson is fast approaching.

This is a reminder that you must register no later than 20 September https://doit.medfarm.uu.se/bin/kurt3/kurt/24681

Date: 22 September, 16:00-17:30 CET

The figure of the imposter can stir complicated emotions, from intrigue to suspicion and fear. But what insights can these troublesome figures provide into the social relations and cultural forms from which they emerge? This volume explores the question through a diverse range of empirical cases, including magicians, spirit possession, fake Instagram followers, fake art and fraudulent scientists.

The event will include a book presentation by the editors, comments from distinguished commentators Gabriella Coleman, Stephen Turner and Amade M'charek and a Q&A session.

Participants will be offered a 50% discount code for the book.
