Abstract

Duncan Green reports back on a conversation with LSE social policy students, including what individual academics can do, increasing political attacks on scholar activists, how academics can tackle ‘sane-washing’ in populist regimes, and the importance of crises and shocks for introducing research into decision-making processes. He floats an idea for a summer school for early/mid career scholar activists.
