SUMMARY:(P54) Rethinking Expertise in a Time of Global Crisis
LOCATION:K14 | 2.05
DESCRIPTION:We are living in a time of crisis. A global pandemic is raging.
  The climate crisis is upon us. And throughout the world populist movements
  are exerting pressure on political systems. The main premise of this panel
  is that a defining feature of the contemporary global crisis is the ways i
 n which various forms of expertise are constructed, contested, denied, mobi
 lised,\nand marginalised both by those in power and by society at large.\n\
 nExpertise, scholars have long observed, follows the fault lines of power, 
 emerging through socio-political processes that create powerful epistemolog
 ies and social institutions. Historians and social scientists have studied 
 the production and assemblages of, as well as the competition between, scie
 ntific, professional, religious, and indigenous knowledge, and\nrevealed th
 e role of technopolitics in shaping modernity. Some have researched the dis
 cursive and sensory performance of expertise. Others apply or reflect on th
 eir own (historical, anthropological, etc.) expertise to conduct socially i
 mpactful research, but sometimes find themselves entangled within broader r
 egimes of expertise. While the politicization of expertise is a general phe
 nomenon, taking place everywhere in any time, a salient feature of contempo
 rary Southeast Asia, and to some extent the global South more generally, is
  that some of the processes that facilitate the proliferation and contestat
 ion of expertise – mass education, mass mediatization, democratization, amo
 ng others – have taken place in a comparatively short time. In this context
  of ‘compression’, and considering the fact that societies are both depende
 nt on experts and fundamentally conflicted about their role, how do scholar
 s of Southeast Asia make sense of expertise?\n\nPapers may consider any or 
 multiple of the following questions: What are the processes through which e
 xpertise is constructed, performed, legitimised, or contested? How do exper
 ts claim authority in a time in which lay persons, celebrities, and politic
 ians revert to alternative facts or post-truth rhetoric to challenge any ki
 nd of expertise? How is expertise gendered, racialized, or reflective of br
 oader socio-political realities? What do we make of the impact or (further)
  decline of marginalised forms of expertise? What futures are imagined or p
 recluded through the construction or (de)legitimation of expertise? What is
  the relationship between expertise and social responsibility? What is the 
 role of critical scholarship in valuing expertise and experts (including ou
 rselves), while still analysing the forms of power that are wound up in the
  production, exercise, and application of expertise?
