Populism and Science in Europe (2022), an edited book by Hande Eslen-Ziya and Alberta Giorgi, is recently published at Palgrave MacMillan. The book provides the first systematic and comparative analysis of the intersections of populism and science in Europe, from the perspective of political sociology. The theoretical perspectives show populism as a thin-ideology, as discourse and performance, and as a political logic, consider both right-wing and left-wing populism, and focus on leaders as well as citizens. The book also offers an overview of controversies within different fields of «science», including case studies on food science, climate change, vaccination, gender theory, COVID-19, and environmental issues. Hande Eslen-Ziya, Liv Sunnercrantz, Tevfik Murat Yildirim, and Elisabeth Lund Engebretsen, all members of Network for Interdisciplinary Gender Studies, have contributions in the book.
