The Political Theory of Algorithms

Josh Simons in conversation with Lily Hu

Wendy Brown in conversation with Jana Bacevic

How has politics become a playpen for vain demagogues? Why has the university become an ideological war zone? What has happened to Truth? In this event, eminent political theorist Wendy Brown will place nihilism at the centre of these predicaments. Nihilism removes the foundation on which values, including that of truth itself, stand. How, then, are we to counter nihilism’s devaluations of both knowledge and political responsibility?
