From our archive: "In der Wissenskrise? Politisierung von Wissen und Expertise als Herausforderung für die Soziologie" by Sebastian Büttner (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg). If you attended last year's @dgsoziologie you know that the topic is as relevant as it was in 2023. https://hu.berlin/episode32
