Event overview
A one-day workshop organised jointly by the Sociology Departments at Goldsmiths and the University of York
Issues of measure and value are emerging as central in current debates concerning the capacity of social science and cognate disciplines to engage contemporary social and cultural life. Debates on the restructuring of time, scale, number, pattern and sequence, for example, as well as those on the changing character and properties of data, evidence and the empirical, point to a need for a reevaluation of the conventions, devices and practices of measure and value in the social sciences and humanities. What forms of measure can and should be deployed, for example, in regard to non-linear phenomena, active data or event time? Do we need new forms of measure? And what do different forms of measure do? This workshop brings together a cast of distinguished speakers to address these and related questions and to place issues of measure and value at the core of contemporary debate.
