Biography
Antoinette Fage-Butler is Associate Professor at Aarhus University, Denmark. Her research interests include risk, trustworthiness and cultural aspects of risk communication about health and climate change. She is currently the PI of the (Mis)trust of Scientific Expertise group which explores public trust in vaccine and climate science. She was awarded a Carlsberg Foundation Fellowship to write this research monograph.
“Set against the backdrop of Covid-19 pandemic and climate change, Fage-Butler’s book provides a timely and important addition to the literature seeking to understand the discursive dimension and cultural meaning of risk, and the values that permeate its communication to the public. The book is a valuable companion for students, scholars and policymakers interested in the interface between governance, risk, and responsibility."
