Disenlightenment and political space: Decoding the goop

As an academic at CCCU, it’s tempting to operate on “enlightenment” principles. I contribute to public debate through carefully written publications whose respect for the reader speaks for itself: their style can be a bit technical, but anyone who is genuinely interested can and will access them. Indeed, we can scarcely avoid using such tools to find, engage with and respond to any ideas that colleagues, reviewers and editors help feed into the world-wide web of obsequious, sometimes reliable, algorithmic goop.
