In the context of the current discussions about “post-truth”, “fake news” etc. Thomas F. Gieryn has published his book “Truth Spots: How Places make People Believe”. Patrick G. Watson (Wilfried Laurier University) has reviewed the book for Symbolic Interaction and writes that “[F]or all the handwringing of contemporary “post-truth” discourse, I would argue Gieryn’s greatest contribution is encouraging social scientists to reconsider how their own environments, or those they visit for research, are instrumental to procedures of “truth” creation.”
