Understanding Unimagined Events

This project falls in the area of decision making under uncertainty and aims to develop a framework to understand how actors construct the space of hypothetical future events they use to guide their choices between alternative actions. This framework will provide criteria to analyse the reliability of existing knowledge and the potential for surprising events to emerge in different social contexts, and could therefore be of considerable importance in times of rapid and often unpredictable change.

Biography

Ivano Cardinale is Professor of Economics at Goldsmiths, University of London.

He joined Goldsmiths from the University of Cambridge, where he held a Junior Research Fellowship at Emmanuel College.

Ivano's research, which he describes as Structural Political Economy, draws on economic theory, political economy and social theory. It reinterprets how material, social and cognitive structures shape political-economic conflicts and are shaped by them in turn, also depending on actors’ representation of structures and of their positions therein.

For his pioneering contribution to Structural Political Economy, Ivano was awarded the "Feltrinelli Giovani" Prize 2022 for the Social Sciences, the leading prize for Italian researchers under 40, by Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei.
