Early career researchers and postgrads are invited to this year's Stella Aldwinckle Seminar, on the theme ‘Who do we trust? Building bonds of trust in a fractured society'. The Stella Aldwinckle Series is an annual event aimed at creating a rigorous, open conversation on a big question relevant to researchers across the disciplines. This year, Professor Tom Simpson (Blavatnik School of Government) will help us consider how trust works, and could work, in our disciplines and institutions: how do we decide to place our trust in someone or something? What are the benefits of trust within our institutions and society? And how do we build and participate in trustworthy cultures and trusting communities?
