About this talk
The Inaugural Wolfson John W. and Lizbeth Adams Lecture in Law and Politics will be delivered by Gillian Tett on 11 June 2026, lecture title and abstract below. For more details, please visit the booking link (no booking required). Social Silence: What we are not talking about in today’s political economy Pierre Bourdieu, the French sociologist, wrote many years ago about the importance of social silence – or the idea that what really matters in our political economy and social systems is not what people talk about but what they do not. Today, as we drown in digital noise and polarized political debate, that premise is more true than ever. So what are the “social silences” we need to think about today? And why does this matter so deeply now for our political economy?
