Call for Papers

In this special issue of Secrecy and Society we invite researchers, journalists, those in the non-profit policy sector, and others working in the area of history, policy, ethics, sociology, and politics to explore the disappearance of facts and data and their replacement by the superficial. We also encourage contributors to delve into how the removal of data, information, and knowledge as a form of ungoverning leads to a “dumbing” down – indeed “gaslighting” – where false or distorted narratives overturn historical understanding, and with it, diminished trust and veracity and encourage submissions from scholars and other researchers considering comparative approaches and all national contexts. We term this special issue “subjugated knowledges” as it has much in common with concealment, censorship, and power that maintain certain perspectives as superior by excluding other accounts.
