Can Trust Be Engineered? Biometric infrastructures and the African Financial Revolution

ConTrust Speaker Series

Lecture by Keith Breckenridge (University of the Witwatersrand)

Also via Zoom. Please register in advance: office@normativeorders.net

A standard assumption of research is that trust and conflict stand in opposition and exclude one another. The ConTrust Speaker Series questions that assumption and inquires into the dynamics of trust and conflict in various contexts of social life. Can trust arise in, manifest itself and be stabilized in conflicts rather than apart from them? What are the conditions for that?
