个人简介
I primarily work on social epistemology, with a focus on using formal methods to understand how the social structure of science affects our ability to produce and disseminate knowledge. To illustrate the sort of questions that arise in this field: I have explored how the incentive structure created by the system of allocating credit in science may induce scientists to commit fraud, and how systematically different expectations of communal scrutiny of one's work may lead women scientists to publish less than men scientists. In these projects, the goal has been to integrate results drawn from the empirical study of science and scientists, the modelling tools that have been developed in formal social epistemology, and insights drawn from the philosophy of science. This synthesis allows for the identification and explanation of phenomena that may otherwise have escaped the notice of philosophers of science and other science scholars. An emerging theme in this area of my research has been the surprising and subtle ways that the inegalitarian organisation of epistemic communities can harm the quest for knowledge. Over at my blog I maintain a reading list of papers (not all of them by me!) which contain various arguments against meritocratic hierarchies in particular, and I am inspired by WEB Du Bois' egalitarian arguments. Though I think many of the arguments really speak against any sort of hierarchy in epistemic communities, I find that in academia it is meritocratic hierarchies that have the most popular support.
