Scholars from the fields of sociology, anthropology, media studies, as well as the history and philosophy of economy will discuss their current research. Additionally, the workshops will feature (confirmed) invited guest speakers who are experts and practitioners of the field, including regulators from the Bank of England, as well as members of high-frequency trading firms and electronic exchanges.
