How do you celebrate an organisation's birthday? Last Friday, we did so with 100+ (ex)colleagues, partners and relative strangers. With our line of work, it had to be an 'and/and' event: with cheer and concern. Thinking and doing. Familiar and unknown. And wonderful it was!

My book, The New Experts, is now available for pre-order in paperback and hardcover from all the big booksellers. In it, I analyse the power of intellectuals and experts in depoliticising policy discourse while serving a deeply ideological political project. (1/5)
