The Center for Public Scholarship at The New School (http://newschool.edu) invites you to Unknowability: How Do We Know What Cannot Be Known?, the 38th Social Research Conference. • From the earliest moments of humanity’s search for answers and explanations, we have grappled with the unknowable, that which we are unable or not permitted to know. What does the history of the unknowable look like? What are the questions once thought to be unanswerable that have been answered? Are there enduring unknowables and if so, what are they? • This conference affords a rare opportunity for scholars from different fields to engage with each other and with the general public on this issue, particularly while we are living in what some might call a post-truth world. At a time when the distinction between what is true and what is not has become increasingly problematic, focusing attention on how we know what we cannot know has become essential. • Presented by the Center for Public Scholarship | • newschool.edu/cps • CONFERENCE PROGRAM • Day 2: Friday, April 5, 2019 • Session 3, 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM: Psychology and Social Science • Nicholas Humphrey, Senior Member, Darwin College, Cambridge University • Alan Fiske, Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of California, Los Angeles • Linsey McGoey, Associate Professor, Department of Sociology, University of Essex • Moderator: William Hirst, Malcolm B.
